I am proud to be a gluten-intolerant guest columnist on Natasha's blog! I had the pleasure of spending an evening for dinner at Burton's Grill http://www.burtonsgrill.com/ near Fenway with Natasha, Kim, and Ruthie. Burton's has a lovely gluten-free menu available upon request. It highlights the regular menu items that are already gluten-free and it offers several adapted dishes that are prepared with gluten-free substitutes.
My first delightful gluten-free experience was their home-made (I think?) dinner roll! It was light, sweet, a little crumbly, but delicious. It's tough to succeed with gluten-free bread, but Burton's passed the test. For the entree, I ordered the Pan-seared Chicken and Mushroom Ravioli with Asparagus in a Sherry Cream Sauce. While they didn't bring me ravioli (it was over gluten-free penne pasta instead), it was very tasty! The sherry cream sauce was smooth and flavorful. The entire dish had no sign of gluten-free taste or texture to it. I would order it again in a heartbeat. For some reason, the 
charge on the check was $2 more than the menu claimed, and their typo of "ravioli" was pretty misleading ("I'm gluten intolerant, but I'm not an idiot." -NR). Good thing I was happy with the dish anyway! I suspect that they cut and pasted the dish name from the main menu and forgot to edit the details on the hard copy because the website is correct.Natasha, it's been a pleasure! Till next time... Lisa :-)
