Dinner at the Crosswinds Grille was a delight!  There are number of items on the menu indicated as gluten-free options including the Duck entree that was divine.   The property sits right on the lake in Geneva with amazing views and outdoor seating for enjoying your wine.  Dinners are not served outdoors as of yet.  If you are looking for a perfect stay-cation this is a great choice as they have the bed and breakfast, spa, winery and restaurant all within walking distance of Geneva on the Lake including the Geneva Lodge!  (6/14)

Paws is the casual dining option at the Bertram Inn Hotel.  I recently attended an event in the private party seating area of the restaurant where I was offered a specially printed gluten-free menu for the event guests.  I had the shrimp and grits and the ribs with slaw – both appetizers but substantial enough for a meal.   Paws has a nice cocktail lounge with a cozy dining room.  Through the glass doors – the upscale dining room, Leopard Restaurant.  While I have not eaten yet at Leopard the menu posted on-line states the kitchens willingness to accommodate all dietary requests.  (6/14)

Pamela shares her experience:

Menu?  No

What did you order?
Salads, Steaks, Chicken

Was the server knowledgeable?
Sometimes

I dine at Trivs 2-3 times a month without incidence.  The staff is great about asking the kitchen any questions I need answered.  They are also great about changing the dishes (sauces, sides) to make it gluten-free.  They just switched the menu for the summer and I’m not as familiar with it yet, but I’m sure there will be a few items that I’ll be able to order with adjustments since they’re amazingly accommodating.

Thank you Pamela for your valuable comments:

Restaurants that I’ve dined at regularly without incidence but do not have a gluten-free menu.

What did you order?
salads, steaks, gf pasta

Was server knowledgeable?
Mostly – if not, they checked with the kitchen

When did you dine?
Mostly weekends, some weeknights.  I would recommend the two Bucci’s (J Bella and Crowne Plaza) because I’ve eaten at both several times without incidence. I dine at J Bellas 2-3 times a month and notice the staff is g-f aware.  They offer gf penne pasta, steaks and salads.

Crowne Plaza staff is not as gf aware but they are very nice about finding out the answers to your questions.  Not sure if they offer gf pasta but they do offer some of the same salads and steaks as J Bella.
