"Came here for dinner with my boyfriend because I 've heard about how good their gluten free menu options are and my boyfriend has celiac so reputable GF kitchens are so important. Whenever we make reservations we always note that we are eating GF and make sure to tell the waiter as we order, and noted that he did mark it down. However, my boyfriend was glutened after eating here which bums me out so much! Maybe it was a mixup in the kitchen or some accidental cross contamination which happens, but when a menu is voted as the best GF menu I think I do expect a little more. Their menu does say that they cannot guarantee a 100% GF kitchen, but they do take precautions against cross contamination. We ordered the calamari to start; we 're pretty sure this is how he got glutened but because the dish is on the gluten free menu we assumed it would be fried separately? In the moment it was really good, and the aioli was great. For mains, I tried the Bobby Flay Throwdown Winner (a zucchini lasagna) and my boyfriend ordered the cappesante (a mascarpone sauce pasta with scallops). We were a little underwhelmed for the price of the entrées. The lasagna was good, but better reheated the next day--something I don 't really expect when paying $30 for a veggie lasagna to be completely honest. The cappesante had a really overwhelming lemon flavor that put my boyfriend off, but I didn 't really mind a few days later (after reheating). The scallops on his pasta were cooked nicely. We went in on a Thursday evening and it was busier than I thought it would be, at some points every single seat was filled. We had to wait a long time before our waiter even came by the first time (enough time for both of us to go to the bathroom and come back and finish our water). The ambiance of Nebo is really nice, I loved the look of the interior and I 'm a sucker for good ambient lighting. Maybe we came here on an off day, but for the price and after effects of glutening, I can 't strongly recommend Nebo."
