I ate there in December and was impressed by the choices . They have gfree bread and I had the strip steak which was excellent. I can't remember exactly which desserts were gluten free but I only had a few choices. The grey stuff is not gluten free since it has an Oreo type cookie in it. I had the lemon raspberry cream puff which was a nice break from he mousse at all the other sit downs.

They also have a raspberry sorbet that's gluten free (and dairy free not that you need that).

The chef who worked with us was really nice and really went out of his way to take care of us. They have 2 different kinds of breads; GNI rolls and Food For Life millet bread. DD13 and I both wanted the scallop and shrimp dish but that's normally served in a big pastry in a creamy sauce so that just wouldn't work (we're also dairy free among other things free). The chef basically said to us to choose a protein from the menu and then we'd figure out what to serve with it. What he served us was delicious and the seafood was cooked perfectly. I wanted asparagus and DD13 wanted broccolini but otherwise our food was the same.

DD16 was fighting autistic issues so we were having a lot of trouble coming up with anything she would want. The chef finally was able to coax some things out of her that she would be happy with resulting in a custom dish.

Sorry about the not so clear pictures but with the lighting in there and my point&shoot camera they just weren't coming out well.

I really need to continue my dining report from this trip.

Ate there 2 weeks ago with my GF 11yo DD. She had lovely, piping hot rolls, a steak, mashed potatoes and broccoli. She had the raspberry sorbet for dessert.

Yum, that all sounds so good! I wish they added a breakfast option.

I'm loving the sound of this food. OMG that sorbet looks amazing. I can't drink milk or eat ice cream ( I can have yogurt and cheese though random I know) either so that def makes me excited. Thank you for the pics.
I'm not a huge fan of gfree rolls except the ones in Epcot France. Were these any good?

The sorbet is nothing special. I believe it's haagen daz or some other brand available at any supermarket. Also, it's everywhere so if you are gluten and dairy free you usually end up with that for dessert.

thanks for your review. This has been an ongoing concern for me. The pictures look great and glad to see there are some selections for GF!!!

I agree that the sorbet wasn't anything special. I thought the chef said they make it there (some places do and some don't) but I may remember that wrong.

My DD13 said that the bread she was given was as good as what we use at home (we use Udi's white). I thought the rolls were ok since they were nice and warm. I'm not sure how they would be if they had cooled down or not been warmed up in the first place. I'm not a huge fan of the GNI rolls. IMO they're very similar to the Ener-G rolls and I was never a huge fan of those either.

I am super picky eater and I don't like most gfree bread. But maybe will try this one. I do eat like a kid anyway so if kids like maybe I will too.

 

[clanmcculloch]

My kids are used to GF bread. DD13 said that the bread she got was similar in texture to Udi's so if you don't like GF bread then you likely won't like this. The rolls also had a GF bread texture. If you're there anyway you might as well ask for it since there's no extra cost but go in prepared for it have GF bread texture.

When we went, I actually really didn't like the Lemon-Raspberry Creme Puff! The "puff" part itself was extremely dry and didn't have a good texture or flavor at all....kinda tasted like cardboard. I was kinda disappointed in it and wished I had gotten the sorbet instead

The "pommes frite" dipping sauce was to DIE for! If anyone knows how to make that, I would love to know!!
