Jiko Celiac Menu

[figgie]

DH and I will be going to eat at Jiko at the AKL for our 36th anniversary tomorrow night. I talked to Chef Brett Hill on the phone today and he e-mailed me their Gluten Intolerance menu so I thought I'd share it with my Intercot family. We are checking into the Coronado Springs Resort tomorrow morning for a much needed mini vacation....

Thanks for sharing that. Sounds like there's a wide variety of choices and they all sound good!

We had our anniversary meal at Jiko on Tuesday night and I will say it was a hit. The Prince Island Mussels were extraordinay and by far the best part of the meal. My lamb was a little dry but DH's steak was wonderful. We had a table by the window and it was quiet and romantic. We will go back and revisit this restaurant sometime.
