Had the pleasure of eating breakfast at the Original Pancake House on Chagrin last week. GF pancakes are listed on the menu. The server was not knowledgeable about GF preparation and opined that I would not be able to order an egg dish. However the manager offered numerous options and confirmed that the canadian bacon and eggs with GF pancakes would be prepared GF. The restaurant was full at 9am on a weekday.

While they do not have a GF menu, they are very careful about their food preparation.
I have eaten there numerous times.
Usually order broiled fish (several kinds), liver and onions, or smothered chicken.
Cannot order fries as they do not have a dedicated fryer.
Lots of various salads.
Baked potatoes after 4PM.
Very good food!

Went to Slice on a Tuesday at 3:00 so I would not interfere with lunch/dinner crowd.
Waitress advised they make their own GF pizza.
After ordering she advised shell was made by Udi’s.
Toppings were very good but arrived an hour later & crust was over-baked.

As there are not a lot of GF pizzas in Mentor, I will give them another chance in the near future.

Unexpectedly had the opportunity to visit the museum this Labor Day weekend and with no reservation for dinner found that their was room for a party of two at Provenance:)  Inquiries to the kitchen offered many options that could be modified in the kitchen.  This is not my favorite way to dine but I figured I would check it out and be appreciative of the opportunity to relax and have my meal prepared.  I chose to have a soup over salad – it is so rare to have the option –  going with Chilled Cucumber with Thai Chili and Creme Fraiche; super good!  Pureed cucumber with just the right bite of spice and the cool creaminess of the Creme Fraiche.   For my entree I had the Lamb dish with the lamb  cooked to perfection, still,  I was disappointed in the side dish which was supposed to be polenta but was really just corn grits – and not really good corn grits either.  One of the problems with modifications is that ingredients are subbed or completely removed with nothing added to build on the flavors.  Always a good question to ask –  the Risotto dish looked appealing and most likely would have had the depth of flavor I was seeking.  I would recommend Provenance next time you are visiting the museum but make specific inquiries on the components of the plate.
