Comments: I loved Lambert's before celiac and was really hoping I could enjoy some of my favorite dishes with both celiac and dairy restrictions.

The good news is that Lou Lambert, who is the chef and owner, is wonderful about accomodating special diets.

Every time I have eaten at Lamberts I have called the day of my reservation and talked to Lou. Because all of their meats are marinated and made with a roux, Lou will set aside meat for me that only has demiglace (veal stock, spices, etc) and make sure to make my meat away from anything w/ flour.

They normally have some fish dishes that are easily adaptable. They have a wonderful shrimp pasta dish, and I haven't tried yet, but I think Lou would be open to my bringing in my own special pasta - havent tried that though!

If you go, make sure to make a reservation. It is a small restaurant, and the kitchen is open inside the restaurant, so it is really an atmosphere where you feel like attention is being paid to your requests.

Its only for special occasions for us, because I always try to tip nicely because I am a high maintenance customer!!
