Thank you everyone who attended last night!
We had a large group and I love that everyone starts talking right away. Conversation flows easily and effortlessly in the safe space we create; everyone shares resources, personal stories, and listens to each other and laughs together—so fantastic!
A special thank you to Chef Mike Gershkovich for adapting his already wonderful menu to be gluten-free, fish-free and nut-free for us [it was already dairy-free]!

Most of us started with the carrot-ginger bisque that was deceptively creamy but no dairy, no soy: just deliciousness. Some of us started with the salad mushroom Arugula salad. For mains, I saw a lot of the luscious rib eye fillet. I had the white asparagus salad as my main. [After a long weekend in Bermuda eating lots of steak I needed a veggie dinner.]
Below are some pictures of the appetizers and the table whilst we ate and talked. I should have taken more, I always forget, between the eating and laughing and sharing who has time for photos!

it was, everyone was kvelling over the soup!
that looks so great! and the goodie bag looks awesome. it's a bummer that crave has dropped (or is about to drop) their kosher certification. i complained to them about it - i love their brownies. bah. anyway i've been wanting to go to mikes and knowing that they can accommodate GF folks makes me more likely to go next time i have that much money to blow on a nice date for me and my lady.
