The Nook and Cranny

While the food and service were excellent, if you’re celiac or gluten intolerant, be careful ordering the items marked gluten free. They had a lot of options (which is why we went), but when I ordered the Japanese rice bowl, I asked if I could get chicken instead of the salmon or tofu the comes with the dish. I asked if they had a GF chicken option, and the waitress said that would be no problem, but then warned me that one sauce used in the dish I wanted isn’t GF. She said it could simply be omitted. My issue is that the dish was labelled GF but contained gluten. If I hadn’t wanted a substitute, I would have been very sick. This makes me wonder if anything else labelled GF actually needs to be modified. They should put GF option available instead of simply GF. That’s so dangerous for people who are very sensitive to gluten. You wouldn’t expect something marked vegan to contain meat, or something marked nut free to contain nuts. So irresponsible and disappointing.

Wonderful atmosphere. Great service. Lovely food, easily addressing gluten free requirements. Really enjoyed everything and we will be back.
