Sweet Diner

The actually gluten free options are limited and my food has consistently come out lukewarm every time I’ve eaten here. Waffles and pancakes are cooked on shared equipment/surfaces. They do claim to have a gluten free fryer for the potatoes and toaster for bread. I’ve eaten the potatoes with no reaction but haven’t chanced the bread as it’s common to get moody servers when it’s busy who don’t want to be helpful.

The only reason for the low service stars was because of our server, Nelly P. She was great until I questioned if my pancakes were, in fact, gluten-free. Throughout breakfast this morning, my stomach started to hurt. I then got Nelly's attention and asked if my pancakes were GF. She paused in shock with her mouth open and said, "You didn't say you wanted GF." Mind you, before my friend and I ordered, I asked if they had GF pancakes, and she said yes. I got excited! Moments later, I order the skillet and GF pancakes. She said, "What kind of pancakes?" I said GF. She said, "No, we have lots of pancakes then proceeded to list the options. I said buttermilk, GF." Anyway, halfway through breakfast, after questioning the pancakes, she said I thought you were ordering for her (my friend). Now she's making excuses and not owning up to her mistake. This could've been a really bad situation. While in the bathroom, my friend asked for the bill, and she brought us the wrong one. She must've been having an off morning. The restaurant is great! I just wanted some accountability on the servers error. Be careful if you have an allergy or preference. I always look for the toothpick for verification. I guess this morning I was too excited to eat. The food looked great.

Went for brunch with some girlfriends this morning and Augustine was our server. He was fantastically funny, charming and made us feel very welcomed and like he enjoyed taking care of us. Service was quick even though it was extremely busy, and food was delicious. As a gluten free person, it's tricky to find GF pancakes at a lot of places, and I was thrilled to be able to have some here! Definitely will be returning in the future.
