Clyde's Willow Creek Farm 42920 Broadlands Blvd Ashburn, VA 20147 (571) 209-1200 3/3/10 Patron allergic to milk and intolerant to gluten. This review shared by J. I have dined here multiple times. I talk to the manager about food allergies before ordering. One time the chef prepared crab cakes for me and another time he prepared brunch. Clyde’s has both a casual and formal dining area. I learned that a member of the Clyde’s corporate staff has spoken multiple times at FAAN events regarding food allergies. 01/10/10 Patron allergic to peanut and tree nuts. This story shared by Thanita. Talked to Manager. The manager was very accommodating. When I called to make reservations they already knew about our daughter's food allergy from a previous visit! It was last year but from what I remember I brought her food just in case they couldn't make anything for her. This time, they made a meal for my 6 y/o (who is allergic to peanut/tree nuts); a pasta dish that was off menu because it was easier to control/safer. When my finicky eater decided she didn't want it after it came to our table, the manager bent down to her eye level and asked my daughter directly what she would like to eat. She said pizza. The pizza on the menu was not safe. So they improvised and created their own, off menu pizza. My daughter was so happy she loved it (and not to mention it was healthier with fresh marinara sauce and mozzarella) and it made our Sunday afternoon. To make not one but two safe dishes in one sitting was huge to me. In addition, the manager and I spoke of their safe practices and they are a pioneer in educating their staff with regards to food allergies AND cross contamination. I cannot tell you how welcomed my family felt. I highly recommend the Clyde's at Willow Creek Farms. |

Fresh-n-Organic 44031 Ashburn Village Shopping Plaza #115 Ashburn, VA 20147 (703) 723-1221 3/2/10 Patron allergic to milk and intolerant to gluten. This review shared by Ann. My friend frequents this place often. The owner tries to keep something on the menu that is dairy and gluten free. This Wednesday morning that we stopped by, we were hoping for a gluten free, dairy free pastry of some sort. That particular day, there was a gluten free dairy free sandwich available, but not a pastry. We opted for fresh fruit instead. The strawberries, blueberries and bananas were delicious. |
