It's hard to find places that cater to the Celiac ...

It's hard to find places that cater to the Celiac population and take it very seriously. While the owner seems to have a solid understanding of the issues surrounding gluten free eating out of medical necessity, I was less than thrilled with his customer service and "people skills" after my fiance became violently ill following a gluten free lunch over the weekend.

It took a few days to get in touch with the owner (after the woman who mans the front desk accused me of trying to get a donation first!) who then tried to tell me that "those aren't usually symptoms of Celiac disease" and "I'm confident the issue isn't cross contamination" and "we had a woman whose son got sick who then called a few days later to apologize to us because it turned out to be viral". Really? Are you a doctor now too? Hmmm. I believe that he takes staff training seriously, but to try to discredit the possibility of cross-contamination in the kitchen and then say "Well, we can't even be certain it was or wasn't the food" was rather irritating.

An apology and a "How can I fix this?" would have been sufficient. Wasn't impressed with the ego. Eat at your own risk if you require gluten free, but that is always the case with serious food allergies. We certainly won't be back.
