If you've never been to 
Gaylord Palms in Orlando, prepare yourself, it's an experience!!  I was lucky enough to be there for a work conference.  Wandering around the hotel you realize just how amazing the hotel is.  You literally feel like your outside in the atrium - almost like a Vegas feel.  
 
This is the atrium of the hotel - gorgeous, no?! 

You can go from Key West to St. Augustine at Gaylord Palms, as different wings of the hotel are themed.  If you do go, you MUST request a balcony.  Seeing the different views of the atrium from your very own balcony are plain and simply cool!  Our balcony view in the Everglades Atrium was of 
Old Hickory Steakhouse.
 
I couldn't look at the Steakhouse daily and not try it!  And I'm SO glad I did.
Let me begin by saying GLUTEN FREE ACCOMMODATING!!!!
First off, they have GLUTEN FREE BREAD!!! Yes, its true.  And... It's yummy!!!!!

| This is the first time I've been served gluten free bread in a restaurant!! | 
|  | 
| I was in utter shock when the bread was served.  I immediately said, that can't be for us, I cannot have gluten.  They immediately said, it's Gluten Free!  I've never been so excited!! | 
Next up, fillet!

| Fillet! | 
|  | 
| Delicious sauteed onions! | 
|  | 
| Whipped mashed potatoes | 
The steak, onions and mashed potatoes were all very good.
The most memorable parts of the meal we're the gluten free bread and the surprise dessert I was served!!  Oh how I will always think of Old Hickory Steakhouse fondly after this.  They surprised me with "Enjoy Life" gluten free chocolate chip cookies, with 2 scoops of chocolate ice cream, strawberries and chocolate sauce on top.  It's like they've known me all my life!

| SOOO YUMMY | 
HUGE THUMBS UP!!  

 
I'm willing to make a detour just to get the free gluten free bread! I can't wait to compare it to the ones I get at long island gluten free stores. Thanks for the tip.
