Vegetarian and gluten free? I helped the restaurant create a tasty, substantive meal option for you. The bottom line: Being insistent with the restaurant to accommodate my dietary restrictions = I helped them create the tasty salad you see in my picture. It’s a Portabella Mushroom Asian Noodle Salad. It’s not on the menu yet, but hopefully will be. Read more about the salad ingredients in my experience below! Thanks to my server Dawn for making this tasty meal happen.The DetailsI am traveling for work. Hotel restaurants are notorious for not having food that meets people’s dietary restrictions. At face value and with initial questions, this restaurant seemed to be like all hotel restaurants Butternut squash soup made with chicken broth, salads with non-substantial vegetables, and vegetarian sandwiches with no gluten free bread option. When I initially shared my dietary restrictions, my server Dawn asked the kitchen about alternate food options for me. She even went to find the package of rice noodles to verify they were really gluten-free. Regrettably, the package did not show the noodles were gluten-free. She said to err on the side of safety to try an alternative: gluten-free pasta. The chef offered to boil, then fry the gluten-free spaghetti into Asian crispy noodles. I created a salad with these noodles, mixed greens, Napa cabbage, vegetable ribbons, and grilled pesto Portabella mushrooms. The salad came with sherry shallot vinaigrette dressing. The food was made with concern, served with a smile, And tasted amazing. The pesto mushrooms work well with the Asian-themed ingredients, and paired well with the sherry shallot vinaigrette. I don’t remember the last time I had a meal at a hotel that tasted this good!While the salad is not on the menu, all of the ingredients are in other menu items. I recommend calling ahead to make sure they have gluten-free pasta to use for the noodles. Hopefully by the time you read this review and call the restaurant, the salad will be a regular item on their menu.
