When we were seated, I informed my waiter I had Celiac. He brought out bread for my family and I was pleasantly surprised that they brought out a small dish of hummus with GF crackers for me. What a nice touch! The waiter was very knowledgeable and a woman also came over to tell me which pizza toppings were GF. Yes....they had GF pizza!
The first night we went, I ordered the Olive Grove Pasta (see menu below) It was delicious & it was so nice to have a restaurant that I felt it was safe to eat & that my family could get the gluten foods they love. My husband and youngest son got pasta also (pasta night!) and my 17 year old got a pizza. Everyone gave their food a thumbs up.
We went back the next night and I ordered the house specialty. Georges Lamb Kleftiko Style. I have actually never tried lamb before, but the waiter made it sound delicious. I also ordered a Greek salad. It was a very nice meal. The meat just fell off the bone.
Overall it was an awesome experience. The only drawback is when I ordered an appletini made with potato vodka. The waiter assured me they had Russian vodka and surely it was potato. I warned him most vodkas are made with grain. He brought me a delicious looking martini, but came back a minute later (luckily before I tried it) and swiftly removed it from the table. He had checked the label, which I greatly appreciate, and saw that it was made with grain. He & another waiter checked all of the vodka bottles and all were grain. He went out of his way to offer me selections of other grain free liquors & they even have a GF beer, but I passed. Hopefully from this experience, they will now stock potato vodka.
Overall, the staff was very welcoming, the atmosphere was wonderful & the food was delicious. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Photos are: The menu, my appetizer, my pasta and my lamb dinner.
