Preston's Market

absolutely disgraceful for any allergy sufferers or people on restricted diets, total disregard and negligence on cross contamination, despite assurance from staff and advertising gluten free on their menu. I am celiac and I was glutened from this place on my last day in Miami, hours before having to get on a plane home, sick from eating here. Despite advertising gluten free and FIVE separate staff members assuring me they would be able to make my gluten free breakfast not only free of cross contamination, but dairy free as well (I am intolerant to dairy too), after taking a bite, something didn't seem right. I knew this wasn't gluten free, and my non-gf boyfriend confirmed it by tasting. Finally after speaking to a SIXTH staff member, who was a manager, she apologized and assured me the breakfast was actually not prepared dairy free . however, that wasn't the worst of it: I knew that was not a gluten free pancake when I took a bite of it, and the worst was yet to come, as I spent the next 20 minutes immediately after leaving the restaurant violently vomiting and dry heaving - there is no question I was glutened. First clue, (which I should have listened to and not touched the food), but I DID question staff about before trying them, is that they did not look anything like the 'buckwheat' gluten free pancakes I ordered off their menu (they were a pale light color, buckwheat is brown!!). I spent the next month afflicted from this cross contamination experience with digestion issues. Celiac disease is serious. The negligence of failing to train your staff about allergy practices, and false advertising on your menu....at those exorbitant prices?! shame on you. Totally unsafe for anyone with dietary allergies. also they were hard to get a hold of when we were trying to ascertain if we were going here for breakfast on our last day anyway. bad news

This buffet is pretty average, but it has everything you need: lots of different kinds of breads, croissants & bagels, a wide variety of meat and scrambled eggs, fruits & berries. You can order an omelette from the chef, and choose your fillings (they have ham, cheese, mushroom, onion, tomato). You can get glutenfree toasties, waffles & muffins. The service is amazing!! All the staff are very friendly and welcoming, and the waiters are attentive when it comes to filling up your glass of juice/coffee mug or cleaning your dishes.
