Absolutely amazing!
The staff is thoroughly trained and managers bring allergies to the table. They even use a black napkin under allergy plates as a signal to all employees that the dish is an allergy. They use casarecce GF pasta - so they can know it’s GF just by looking at it. I felt incredibly safe eating here, and I got an almond flour cannoli!
I went here with two girlfriends and sat at the bar. We order the beans, the hummus with arugula and prosciutto and a gluten free crust pizza. All of it was spectacular. The pizza crust was a think crust - but texture and flavor were spot on!
The bean dish was out of this world and the sauce was excellent. Cocktails were also good and service impeccable. Highly recommend.
Having visited this establishment on several occasions, I have consistently found the food to be delightful. My nephew and I often encounter challenges in locating dining options that cater to our dietary needs, as he has a gluten allergy and I have a dairy allergy. However, the staff here have always been incredibly friendly, kind, and accommodating. The food is consistently served promptly and prepared to perfection. I would certainly recommend this place for a quick and enjoyable meal.

Some good options! Definitely caters towards allergies. Pancake wasn’t my favorite but everything else was good! Wait time was a lil crazy but great atmosphere! Would def recommend!
I wanted to like this place but the service was really terrible. It took us an hour to receive an order of chicken fingers and they still messed up the order fairly seriously (we ordered gluten free chicken fingers and stated that it was due to an allergy multiple times). When our order finally came out (45 minutes after the couple that were were with received their food), it was definitely not gluten free. It took several minutes to flag down our server to ask if the order was GF, she took it back to the kitchen, and 10 minutes later she came out with a new plate and just said “this one is definitely gluten free.” No acknowledgement or apology for almost getting us sick or the hour that it took to receive our food, and we still paid full price. Which $15+ for 4 chicken fingers and some tater tots is insane.
I watched the kitchen runner bring food to the wrong table at least 4 or 5 times. Just blindly asking people “did you order this?” The lack of attention could get someone sick when dealing with food allergies.
Half of the arcade games were either out of order or in desperate need of service. I really wanted to like this place but we left feeling ripped off.
Food is great; lots of gluten-free options clearly marked on the menu. The staff was friendly & service was pretty great. The location, tucked away from the main drag and yet in eyesight of most everything is fantastic & makes for epic people-watching.
TLDR; quiet neighborhood, nice views, outdoor seating, highly celiac friendly
This restaurant is ironically set back off of route 9 in a plaza that seems to be otherwise vacant. Fortunately, the vacancy means there’s quite a bit of vegetation overgrowth. The views from the patio here are surprisingly lush and because of the plaza vacancy it is fairly quiet.
My celiac friend had a wonderful time as their menu caters heavily to gluten-free options that are actually edible! We got a burger and fries accompanied by chicken tenders and fries. Both were delicious and her meal didn’t taste gluten free but based on her lack of illness afterwards, it was definitely gluten free. We’re very happy this place exists and highly recommend checking it out!
Also, Dave our waiter was awesome and helped us very quickly move indoors when it began to rain. We are very appreciative of Dave.
When we ordered we informed the waiter about our gluten allergy, he was very knowledgeable and the food came out incredibly fast and was absolutely delicious!
Candlepin is $30/5 pers/hr
Pizza are $16-$26+tax, salad is the only other option but there is gluten free dough. They natural and organic ingredients and sodas.
Environment is modern and cute.
Parking is pretty bad. 2h free until 8pm, then unlimited. There's a gym in the same block and a fancy parking garage.
The Abbey is the perfect place to grab drinks with friends at midnight, enjoy a tomato bisque with parents at 5pm, and get married!!
lol yes I did get married here a month ago, and prior to that event, my partner and I have been proud patrons for the last 3.5 years. An excellent $12 cocktail menu, delicious cod and steak frites, and a warm, classy but casual atmosphere. Servers are consistently great. They also have an entirely separate gluten-free menu that my gluten-free friends are super happy with.
We also reserved their downstairs for our 30-person wedding! Dean, the manager, was super enjoyable to work with to plan the event, and Rachel and Matt were our bartenders and servers day-of and really made everything so easy. Thank you guys!
If you’re looking for a wedding space that’s inviting, classy, and casual, and you don’t mind getting married in front of an exit sign (we did not mind lol), I strongly recommend. We genuinely feel that the evening was pretty perfect, and our friends are still raving about the tomato bisque and grilled cheese. I could also imagine their downstairs being a great space for any relatively intimate event you’d like to host!
If you’re not planning to get married soon, I’d still suggest stopping by for an enjoyable meal and cleverly named cocktail. We will be soon.
This place is so cool! Great vibes, friendly and quick servers plus the food is fantastic. All of the gluten free options are delicious, especially the churros. It was really fun to be able to eat tacos and oysters at the same time.
A dedicated gluten free fryer, gluten free beer, this place is amazing! Theres tons of seating and the service was good, I’d go back for the gf fried chicken sandwich.
The staff is very knowledgeable about which items on the menu are gluten free. I recommend the curried goat stew, which is very nice. The staff is friendly, despite being in a busy environment on a Saturday night. The drinks are good and the drink menu has a nice variety.
Two guys working on Sunday afternoon. We walked in to a few folks at the bar and an empty set of tables. Didn’t look promising. We were pleasantly surprised from start to finish.
The after show rush filled up the place in 20 minutes and the place got busy! The guys were humping, but did a great job taking care of everyone we saw in the place, despite looking short handed.
Food was all good, solid pub fare. North shore roast beef took me back to Ipswich. The number of gluten free options was awesome to see.

My husband thought the seared seafood scallops was amazing. I was really looking forward to gluten free dishes I can't have all the time. However, I thought the gluten free mac and cheese was less than desirable. The noodles were not quite done, the cheese was melted in and that was it. No spices or creamieness to the dish. Lobster is always good. I'm sad that I paid $38 for that dish. My son had a good burger with a gf bun.
Great food. went foe brunch, and they take allergies seriously.
We need to be careful of gluten-free options.
very pleased with choices and food was incredible.
Stopped in before a movie with my boyfriend, Stephanie was a great bartender super friendly and knowledgeable and took extra care of me with my gluten allergy. Extra points to earls in general for havin gluten free calamari!!

Best Place to come especially for my daughter’s celiac disease. They do an amazing job Catering to food allergies and have a variety of gluten free options! They take special care into serving the food by the manager specifically making sure no cross contamination!
I can't rave enough about Spoke, nor could I possibly count the number of times I've enjoyed their incredible food, drinks, and hospitality. This is our special occasion place *and* our neighborhood place (I admit it's appropriately a little expensive, so it's slightly more on the special occasion side), and it's the place where we know we're going to regularly be blown away. We've brought friends from out of town, and each time they've marveled at the experience. On occasion there might be a dish that we might not love as much as the others, but I appreciate that the chefs are always pushing boundaries and being creative. Also, for such a thoughtful and yet small menu, there are great options for vegetarians, gluten-free folks, and vegans. (I brought a friend from London who can't eat gluten and she was in seventh heaven.) I'm almost reluctant to tell you how much I love it because I want to be able to get in, but I also want them to always be around!
Awesome spot! Our server (Luisa?) was fantastic - very kind and attentive. The menu is marked for all different allergens and they have a separate fryer for gluten-free (the pit-spiced fries are so good!). Great vibes, great drink selection, and really good food.
So many gluten free options. BEST fried pickles and crispy Brussels. All of our food was so fresh. Our server was very friendly and happy to answer any questions. Highly recommend

I love this place!! It has so many gluten-free options. Almost everything on the menu is gluten-free or can be made gluten-free!! The gluten-free pizza is one of the best I’ve ever had!!
I’m sitting here right now, and I basically never feel inclined to leave a review mid meal, but here I am. After less than a year of realizing I have a severe gluten intolerance, it’s been an adjustment, to say the least, and not a yummy one. This food about brought me to tears. Maybe it’s the long travel, but nonetheless, I find myself trying to savor every bite.
They have a gluten free menu, which I decided to try the house made Ricotta (chips instead of bread), and the bolognese. I can’t. Every bite is amazing, and if you have a gluten allergy, you know what delectable pasta isn’t always easy to come by. Not to mention, I’m sitting by the bar and can hear the kitchen staff talking about the gluten dishes, grabbing clean pans, and ensuring they leave the hold window when they’re done. Just beyond what most restaurants do. I cannot wait to be back in town to come again.
Oh, and the staff is just so nice and helpful, and everyone seems to just sincerely love their job! You know when the owners and chefs (and sous chef!) are named on the menu, they take real pride in what they do. Highly recommend!
The food overall is acceptable, but steer clear of a gluten-free pizza! You will get confused as to whether you’re eating the cardboard box or the pizza itself!
All I need to say is YUM! The food was on point! Everything came out hot, fresh and delicious. They catered to my son’s Gluten allergy with care. TOM is amazing! He didn’t just give customer service, he gave us a guest experience to make us feel as if we were a guest in their home. He blessed our family with an experience we won’t forget.
Highly recommend! Food, service and atmosphere was great! Was extremely happy that they offered lots of gluten free options. Love love love the women's bathroom decor! Would definitely come back!
Wow! The best clam chowder! Filled with carefully cut up pieces of the potatoes and clams delightfully seasoned and gluten free!!! Had to sample my Nieces lobster Mac, creamy,cheesy, and lobster beyond expectation! Other family members raved about the lobster roll which coukd also be made gluten free! As New Yorkers, they were totally immersed in the flavor!! We came just before closing, and took it to go, which can be sketchy, but it was an incredible meal to enjoy on the last ferry home! Thanks!
Gf buns available when asked. Separate plates to show an allergy. Separate person brings you your food. I also recently learned that it’s a separate fryer for gf fries. A couple of sauce do contain gluten but I have always been told by the wait staff ahead of time.
We told our server more than 3 times we have a diary and gluten allergy. First, fries show up and they are not gluten free. Second, meal shows up with cheese. We waited over an hour for our food to be messed up twice. Unfortunately, this has happened more than once and this was the last time we’ll be coming here. Service is never good, servers are not kind or friendly.
Our large group thoroughly enjoyed. Food was delicious, service impeccable, and we especially appreciate the careful attention to gluten sensitivities.
