⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination risk exists in theory.
- There was at least one past incident where a GF-ordered dish (steak with barley) arrived with barley; the plate was not suitable for a celiac diner in that instance.
- Other recent experiences describe careful accommodations and replacements when issues arose; the general pattern shows an emphasis on pre-vetting and responsive service, but vigilance remains important.
