I didn’t get sick-just a little indigestion after, but no big reaction. The mashed potatoes were very good, but there was a “skin” on the potatoes like the purée had sat for a while and dried out a little. It was pretty good, although maybe the most boring thing on the menu. I got the grilled chicken breast which comes with garlic mashed potatoes and green beans. The waiter did say nothing was guaranteed, but the chefs are very careful and change their gloves. They have fries and stuff with tortilla chips marked as gluten sensitive even though they’re fried in the same fryer as everything else, so I opted to stay away from anything fried just in case. The menu has GS to mark gluten sensitive (I’ll attach photos), but the menu also mentions shared oil in the fine print, so those marks are misleading if you’re celiac.
