Mimi's Cafe at Westgate in San (El Paseo de Saratoga area)

[Guest guest]

Just wanted to let you know that I ate at Mimi's last Saturday night

and had an excellent dinner! I printed the information about Mimi's

from the San Diego celiac website (under Restaurants) and brought it

into the restaurant.

I spoke with the manager, Tom, and he assured me that the Tuscan

chicken dinner was indeed gluten-free if they did not put the

croutons on the dish. The sauce is only composed of butter, dried

tomatoes, squash and artichoke hearts. It was absolutely delicious!

If you order the dish, ask for extra sauce on your mashed potatoes!

Their mashed potatoes do not come from a mix, and their chicken is

not marinated with any type of gluten. I also had their salad with

no croutons and brought my own salad dressing.

While dining, the server mentioned that a guest at a table next to us

also ordered a gluten-free dinner. She was eating turkey with mashed

potatoes and broccoli. I talked with her a moment, and she said that

she loved eating there.

As always, you need to check the ingredients every single time you

eat out, because eating out is risky.
