I'll start this review by saying I'm extremely gluten intolerant, and the menu didn't mark items as gluten free. I also know it's 2026, and higher end restaurants take food allergies seriously. I figured they'd work with me - and they truly did.
We started with the crab soup. It's not a flour base, and you have to request it gluten free - otherwise, they'll put croutons in it. The presentation of that was amazing. They'll bring it out in a clear kettle and pour it over the crab in the bowl. Truly amazing.
For our main courses, my mom and I had the Bistrot steak, and my husband got the veal. My mom's came with fries, and once she saw (and tried) the mashed potatoes, she said she would sub the fries for those. They're seriously the best mashed potatoes ever.
Our waitress (whose name I can't remember) was so kind and accommodating. She checked with the kitchen on things and gave recommendations.
If I could have gluten, I probably would have sprung for the soft shell crab.
As always, another John Besh restaurant went above and beyond in our books! We will absolutely be back. read more
