Is there a gluten-free menu?

— Separate gluten-free menu

Not impressed. The manager or whoever she was (she didn’t introduce herself) literally had no clue about allergens. She had to go back to the kitchen and “call the head chef” three times. I tried to order the lunch special pork chop, which is labeled gluten free in the menu. I asked for it to be gluten free and dairy free, so no butter and grilled veggies instead of mashed potatoes. This manager lady told me they “weren’t able to make the pork chop gluten free” and I showed her it’s literally labeled gluten free in the menu. She had no idea. Then I had THREE different servers try to bring me a pork chop covered in butter and with mashed potatoes.

I didn’t feel safe eating there because they were so clueless. I eventually got what I ordered and it tasted pretty good but I was very anxious and won’t go back. Also, if you get it to go, they take your food back to the kitchen to box it up. I know that’s the “fancy” way of doing it but it’s one more chance for a server to mess it up or use a utensil from someone else’s plate.

Some of the staff is very knowledgeable about gluten and food allergies. We sat at the bar before dinner and had drinks and NY strip carpaccio. Our bartender was fantastic and noted my Gluten and Dairy allergies on the order for the carpaccio, and radio-ed the kitchen to let them know. The dish came out and had what appeared to be parmesan all over the top. I said to the server, oh that looks like cheese and she replied, "yes! Parmesan!" I say I can't have that as cheese is dairy. She takes the plate to the back and comes back and tells us it's horseradish not parm. I had my husband taste test it to be sure and it was horseradish. Then we sit down for dinner. Our waiter was fantastic and knowledgeable. I ordered as simply as possible- an 8oz. Filet and grilled vegetables. I let him know my allergies and request the steak be cooked in olive oil with just salt and pepper. The good comes out. Servers bring an extra steak that is topped with garlic butter and put it in front of me. We all know it isn't correct so they take that one back and put the other steak in front of me. It has some sort of sauce on it. I ask what the sauce is. One of the servers says soy sauce. I ask if they can double check since mine is supposed to be gf df and no sauce. She comes back and says it soy oil. Then our waiter looks at her and says they don't have soy anything in the restaurant. So they deduce its likely coconut aminos, which is typically safe for me but with all the conflicting information I didn't feel comfortable eating it. They take it back and remake my filet, had a manager supervise the cooking and brought it out. In the end I didn't get glutened or dairy-ed. But I would be very wary of eating here in the future.

Had the steak filet mignon, vegan green tartar, and steamed brocolli from the GF menu. Food was very good and cooked perfectly but lacked the "wow" factor I personally wanted. I told the waiter about my allergies/intolerances to soy, wheat, yeast, shrimp, and gluten and they were able to accommodate each one. Good news for celiacs, no reactions. I usually get something because of cross contamination but it seems like they were very careful in the kitchen cause I had none. Thumbs up. What I didn't like was the fact that the utensils were NOT cleaned. Both times I requested replacements they were dirty. That's unacceptable for a higher end restaurant.

And just warning for celiacs, the steamed veggies may come with some type of butter/herb spread. Make sure to request whether you want that or not. I don't like herb/butter spreads because of the potential for soybean being used. This time I had no reaction and was fine but other times have been worse which is why I stay away. They swore what I ate was just the water runoff from the broccoli but I know better. But other than that, everything was okay.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The server, chef, etc all took amazing care of us to make sure I got my food as requested. Wasn't cheap, but my meal was A-mazing!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Wait staff seemed to be knowledgeable about gluten free and said the restaurant takes it seriously. Food was delicious, we had a set menu as it was a company event. I had their wedge salad, no blue cheese, their famous pork chops, with carrots, scalloped potatoes, and pan fried brussel sprouts (the grilled ones are cross contaminated). For dessert we had the bananas fosters. I would caution if you get a mixed drink you have the wait staff double check with the bar, apparently they can't make a gluten free mojito as they put ginger beer in it... Not sure why I could not be left out but, apparently it couldn't be made without it.

Went to Perry’s restaurant for a 50th wedding anniversary party tonight. This was our first time. Well let me tell you they set the standards for Gluten free friendly restaurants. The menu is all labeled for GF. I felt very safe eating here tonight. I have never seen so many choices, even the deserts. Alex the waiter was very knowledgeable about GF. He knows his job very well. He spoke to Kendall (his manager) about my gluten allergy. After we put our orders in Kendall came out and told me he discussed my allergy with the entire kitchen staff and we will not have any issues. I highly recommend this restaurant as Gluten Friendly!!! You have to try their pork chops. They just earned a new customer tonight.

The manager came over to my table after ordering and confirmed that I had celiac before going over all sides that had been ordered for the table and confirming if I could or could not eat them. It made me feel very safe eating there since they made a point to have someone in management come over (not my waiter!)

I’ve been to Perry’s multiple times and they are very knowledgeable about GF and make sure the kitchen is aware. Gluten free items are listed on the menu. Everything is delicious my favorite is the redfish.
