Seed Kitchen & Bar

We had dinner reservations for 6 PM. We were seated at a high top table booth in the bar of a more empty than not restaurant. My husband and I are very tall and I felt like I was eating off a table top at my neck. Plus we have long legs and we joked that we were in leg jail with all the metal poles supporting the bar top preventing us any comfort. Our entrees arrived promptly and were mediocre. I appreciate dining out because I so often prepare farm fresh meals at home so its nice to enjoy a meal prepared by someone else. My short rib entree was fair but I did think my mashed potatoes were Costco Main St and for a $35 entree I was very unimpressed. The highlight of our dinner were my husbands fries which I did not eat because I am Celiac. Oh about that. They use GF on the menu which is why we wanted to try this restaurant. American servers have a learning curve to get through to understand you don’t need to ask someone who orders GF if they have celiac. Yes I have an autoimmune disease which compromises my day to day living but the server need not ask me those details ie is it celiac. A server is not a nurse nor do they need to manage my food choices. I guarantee I know what choices I am making as this is my life living with an auto immune disease. Just like someone with a heart condition who asks for light salt isn’t asked if the have high blood pressure or cancer. When it was time to leave we extracted our legs from leg jail and walked by the dining room with dining tables and chairs many of which were still unseated I knew this was the last time I’d visit Seed. Dinner reservations require seating guests at a dining table not an uncomfortable bar top. And if I order GF entree just say ok. Don’t warn me not to eat the fries its hard enough as it is knowing i cant take that risk. If I ask if I can eat the fries thats different.

Amazing meals and cocktails, we love the evolving seasonal menu. The staff has always been wonderful and very knowledgeable about gluten.
