bulletNotes:  BD's is a great place; choose from the buffet of ingredients (meats, seafood, veggies, etc.) to put in your stir-fry.  I personally do not use the sauces; I have not checked their GF status, so I bring my own soy sauce, etc.  When you have your ingredients put together, tell the fry guys that yours is an "allergy bowl"  (yes, we know CD isn't an allergy, but that's their terminology).  They will take your ingredients to the back to be cooked separately.  Steamed white rice is brought to the table by the servers.  BD's also has a salad bar and a nice selection of red and white wines, too.  The restaurant will take reservations for parties of 8 or more, but if your group is large, call well ahead as they can only accommodate a few large parties at a given timeslot.
