Disappointing Experience In San Antonio

[jeannine]

We were meeting some friends for lunch and they picked the restaurant. Canyon Cafe in the Quarry. Anyway, I contact the restaurant and tell them that I have Celiac and do they offer a gluten free menu. No, they don't offer a menu, but ask to speak to the manager because almost everything on their menu can be made gluten-free.

So, I ask to speak to the manager, told he is unavailable. Tell the waiter that I need a gluten-free plate, could the chef come out and talk about this. Then the waiter comes back and just says the fish and the salads SHOULD be fine. I ordered a salad- dang, am I getting sick of salads (I'm allergic to shellfish and fish).

I was frustrated that no one was there to help me and answer my questions. Apparently, it all worked out because I didn't have a reaction.

Well, we won't be going there again!

If you want some place cheaper you can go to Bill Miller's BBQ. All their BBQed meats, veggies, drinks, BBQ sauce, are gluten free. You can ask them to put the meat directly on a plate instead of the sideboard and you can even have fruit salad for dessert.

You can also go to Olive Garden. I have been to the one at Ingram and if you tell the waitstaff that you need to speak with the chef they will come out talk with you and supervise your dinner to make sure it doesn't get gluten.
