Bonefish: Gluten Free Menu?

[jennashaped]

Hey everyone. We're going out to eat for mother's day to a nice restaurant called Bonefish. They have a 'gluten free' menu. Does that mean those dishes should be safer for me than others? What is 'gluten-free'?

Edit: Here's the menu

Lily's Chicken looks great!! I just have to be careful with 'sauces.'

It depends. Gluten free foods are also sugar, corn, potatoes, nuts/seeds, yogurt and so on. So "gluten free" does not necessarily imply "Induction-legal".

Your choice looks fine though, just be careful with the sauce.

Yeah, the lemon basil sauce, I guess I could just...call and ask what's in it? Haha. I've never done that before. But I don't think they would mind, they're a pretty high-end, customer-oriented place...

Haha. Actually, just called and asked what was in it and they were very helpful. The only thing I wasn't familiar with was 'chalets'? And also, there is white wine in it, but I'm guessing it's a negligible amount, right?

You probably mean shallots. Shallots are like onions.

LMAO. Way to go, me. The 'french major' in me thought he was just pronouncing something wrong. But a 'chalet' is a house. LOL! They have houses in the sauce!!

Thanks for the clarification!

I know it is a little late, but gluten free means no wheat, barley or rye products. It does not, however mean no sugar. It is a much safer place to start because there will be no hidden breading, croutons or flour based fillers, but potentially still fruits and sugars.

A gluten free menu will usually list all of the ingredients and will be much simpler foods.

Hope this helps someone! I am very allergic to gluten and love to find restaurants I can eat at.

Thanks so much for the comments! That's very helpful. I honestly didn't know what gluten free meant.
