Review of The Royal

Cool vibes and indoor and outdoor seating in hip neighborhood of DC. Food was excellent and GF menu extensive and once I told staff I had Celiac they were clearly knowledgeable. Ordering was confusing because I didn't tell them about GF right away (nor did they ask about allergies), so when I went to order on Toast app via QR it was not clear what was GF v not. Their menu online is also a little unclear because the little tiny astrisk by GF means cross contamination possible, but only figured that out after seeing paper GF menu (it's not listed online). The Toast app where you order has no info at all about GF, so that was also a little tricky. Should have told server when I arrived but it took a while before anyone came to help me which was a little odd. Will try to post Celiac/GF menu since that was key and the food is awesome. Would come back, esp now that I know what to do!
