Zin Restaurant in Healdsburg

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

I just wanted to share with you a really amazing experience I had at Zin

Restaurant in Healdsberg a couple weeks ago. When making the reservation I

explained my celiac disease and asked if it would be possible to accommodate my

needs. Of course, like many places the response on the phone was " Yes, no

problem " . I was nervous to try this place, seeing as I couldn't find any reviews

on gluten-free here. Well- I had the best experience eating out I have had

anywhere (except possibly places in Colorado or Seattle where everyone knows

about gluten). My server was incredibly knowledgable. She even knew that blue

cheese was " controversial " in terms of gluten-content and pointed out to me the

item on the menu that had it. She knew exactly what modifications could be made

to which dishes to make it gluten-free. In the end I had steak with mashed

potatoes and mushrooms. They omitted bread crumbs on the potatoes and a sauce

for the steak.

I highly reccomend this place. It may have just been the wonderful server I had-

so if you go and the server doesn't seem to have the right answers, I would ask

for the manager.

As always, eating out is taking a chance but I thought I'd share my experience.
