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.
