Expectation vs. Reality
Drag to dismantle every assumption.
Six years of interrogating servers. Apologetic menus. Food that arrives wrapped in the word "sorry." We built something different. Drag and see.
The argument is over.
Seven courses. Nothing to explain. Nothing to ask.

Guest Stories
The exhale when you sit down and realize you don't have to ask.
I've eaten at restaurants with celiac for eleven years. I've learned to order plain grilled fish and smile. At Grain I ordered the pasta and cried a little. I'm not embarrassed about that.

Celiac for 11 years · Dined February 2026
My husband has celiac. I don't. We've spent our entire relationship negotiating restaurants. Grain was the first place we've ever walked in and both just... looked at the menu. The whole menu.

Anniversary dinner · Dined January 2026
My son was diagnosed at six. He's nine now. Last Saturday was the first birthday dinner where he could order anything at the table — the same thing as everyone else. That's not a small thing.

The soufflé cracks exactly the way a soufflé should crack. That's it. That's the whole review.
