Bonefish Grill / G/f Bread Basket

[killernj13]

I went to Bonefish Grill last night in Secaucus, NJ. It was a pretty good experience. They had a good selection of gluten-free meals and the waitress didn't look at me like I had three heads when I told her my meal needed to be gluten-free. She offered to bring me the gluten-free menu and was upset I had a print out. I had printed out my own from the website.

She went on to say how everything was prepared from scratch so I felt confident the chefs knew what they were doing to prepare my meal gluten-free. I had the Saucy Shrimp appetizer and the Mahi Mahi meal in the lemon butter sauce. Both were good although the sauce on the Mahi mahi was a little bland. They have other gluten-free sauces so when I go back I will try a different one.

The only two problems were small. The waitress offered up my shrimp app. as a good sauce to dip bread in. Which no one did until I was done with the shrimp. I know, a very small error on her part but it goes to show how others don't totally get it.

Also, the Creme Brulee was listed on the website as gluten-free and it wasn't. This was actually a plus on the waitress' part as she went in to check to see if it was gluten-free. She suspected it wasn't. Something to do with the vanilla extract they use made it not gluten-free.

Well, I did get a dessert as my friend who's son has celiac disease brought me a gluten-free black & white cookie from the gluten-free bread basket in Chester, NY. She didn't even know it was one of my favorite cookies - just a coincidence. My wife didn't even know. Anyway it was very good as I thought I would never have one of those suckers again. She also brought me a snickerdoodle cheese cake from the same place and that was good as well. My non celiac wife even agreed. It was my very unhealthy breakfast this morning. I know but we had to indulge when we get these treats - right?

And I concur, their food is amazing... my mom just came out to visit me at college this weekend for my gymnastics meet and brought a cooler full of food for me. Talk about spoiling me:-). I'm not typically a person that likes chocolate, but lately I've been craving it-- the chocolate bundt cake is to die for. It's quite rich though, it's going to last me quite a while (in the freezer of course). I'm savoring my peanut butter cookies, it was all I could do not to eat all of them in one sitting. The bagels of course are great, and I'm really excited to eat my muffins (chocolate chip, pumpkin, and banana this time), and speaking of those black and white cookies... when my mom went to buy all the food, the owner of the bakery said she simply couldn't go to visit me without a black and white cookie... and she didn't even know that those were probably my favorite cookie as a kid!

I'm going to be on a sugar high for the next week...... and enjoying every minute of it!

I also have nejoyed Bonefish Grill. They are owned by the same company that owns Outback and Carrabas.

I did not like Carrabas as well - thought the menu was too limited. Claire

I love Bonefish too, I've never had a problem them but I go over everything when I order and when the food is delivered. I agree that the staff there has been briefed on gluten issues, every time I've ever been in a Bonefish they have always known about gluten-free.
