Stay away, not worth the price gouging for Ramsey’s name! Pizza was cold, burger looked almost raw, asked for medium, 2 soups get delivered and poured into bowls and one server didn’t even finish pouring could see it still coming out he pulled it back and walked away, other bowl had a third more soup! Glass of wine small for the price. It also took almost 20 minutes and having to ask the waitress for it and she replies with “it will be here shortly” Excuse me how about just admitting you forgot it! The wine will be here when she tells the bartender and they pour it, since she didn’t write anything down, it wasn’t “here”. Caesar salad cannot be modified to be gluten free without the croutons! Never heard of that, but according to the server they put gluten on the Parmesan “chips”. No need for that at all, clearly they do not care about easy choices for customers with food allergies. Many restaurants have gfree croutons. Ramsay made not only can’t manage to do that, he has to add gluten to Parmesan! Then they try to force another $9 bottle of water onto the table when glasses are full from first one! The food runners tried to deliver all the meals to the wrong person and were bumping into each other correcting themselves. If you don’t know who ordered what just ask! Waitress was rude and indifferent but still made 20% because they automatically add it to the bill. She was worth $5.00 tops!! Big disincentive to do your job well if you are going to make 20% no matter what. Totally overrated and must stem from Ramsey’s arrogance about how good he is because of his TV fame and plain old poor management! He should visit the place himself and see if he can fix it!

Everything was very good. The variety of sandwiches and doughnuts was great. The hot tea was also nice. The gluten free blubbery lemon scone was not great. It had no flavor, it was just like a sugar biscuit.

We are in town from St. Louis visiting my brother. We pre- ordered 2 dozen assorted donuts and in the extra notes asked for an additional GF donut and 2 coffees. The donuts were ready when we arrived, and the staff was super friendly and accommodating. The gluten free donut was good, but not my favorite gluten free donut ever. I always appreciate stores that offer gluten free, however, so thank you District Doughnut. We had a great experience!
