Visiting Monterey for the weekend and was looking for a gluten-free cafe to grab some lunch. Ended up at Nece's GF and YUM! The ancient grain bread I chose for my sandwich was superb, the snickerdoodle cookie was just the right amount of sweet, and my dog got all the love while we were sitting outside on the patio. Definitely will return next time I'm in town. :)
I've been coming to this place for years now. The manager is a friend at this point. I love the quality of the food, from the pastries to the savory offerings, and my gluten free / celiac folks can eat here too! Delicious and worth every penny. Thanks Lilly Mae's!
As a healthy-foodie type who is also gluten sensitive, this place was a fabulous find! All organic with amazing natural choices, for both vegetarian and paleo, and obviously, cautious about food allergy prep! Staff was beyond friendly and food was delicious! We will def make this a go-to spot when in town!
Great burger joint with some perfectly seared hamburgers, and a really nice staff and atmosphere. Excellent Gluten Free bun also, top notch all around.
The all you can sectionâs food selections was so delicious, the waiters so helpful and so friendly.My wife on a speciel diet no milk, and gluten free stuff, so they served extra sides for her, without extra cost!!
What a gluten free find. The waitress/cook/?owner knows gluten free and we had a delicious meal. I had their homemade smoked turkey lentil soup. My boyfriend had their smoked Tri-tip with grilled veggies and finished with bananas foster. So delicious that I ate to much. Love the unique funky atmosphere of 60âs albums on the wall. I would love to attend when they have live music but alas we are only here for a couple of days. However will return tomorrow for some of the other gluten free items on their menu like borscht.
I used to really love this place. I have celiac disease, and almost all of their items are gluten free. Theyâve always been pretty willing to accommodate me, and I considered this one of my staple spots. Unfortunately, after many times eating there successfully, I was glutened and got super sick. When I tried to discuss this with them, they showed very little compassion and basically hung up on me. So disappointing.
Great place for a friends/family sit down dinner! The people working there are really nice. Lots of Gluten Free food well marked on the menu. Dog Friendly too!
We always enjoy our meals at MidiCi! Their meatball appetizer is super delish. They make some of the BEST gluten free pizza dough weâve had and probably the best on the peninsula. I get the regular Neapolitan with the bbq chicken & mushroom truffle prosciutto and itâs perfect. The pizza size is nice too, good for sharing with two people or one hungry person (my hubby lol) the staff are very friendly and attentive. I want to come back for the tiramisu night nextâŠ
The food here was fantastic but what really makes the experience is the staff, who were friendly, accommodating and absolutely delightful. As a coeliac vegetarian, they were very accommodating and were prepared to alter the dish I wanted to make it both! This shows they cook everything fresh and the chefs know their stuff. Would definitely recommend, just a bit on the pricey side ($30-50 for a main)
The atmosphere was good, but personally I found the food slightly lacking. I got a cup of lobster corn chowder that I thought was just ok. And a Caesar salad that was very good. Not to many gluten free options on the menu...
WARNING allergies dietary requirements are not taken seriously, they served us nuts despite repeatedly telling them about nut allergy + gluten to guests with celiac. (!!!) Menu doesn't even accurately list ingredients, multiple waiters and kitchen staff got it wrong and I didn't realize until I had already started eating. Date night ended in allergic reaction and having to take out the epipen.
Excellent! Chocolate chip cookies are perfect. We had a pepperoni pizza and a gluten free pizza. Both were very good. So many topping options. Definitely recommend!
Reasonably priced option with ample parking in this otherwise expensive tourist town. Thank you to Danitza, our very friendly and attentive server, when we visited for dinner earlier this month. She kindly helped us with the gluten-free options (and drink specials). Yes, the food was very good and generous portions, but we most appreciated her personable service. Not far from the Monterey Bay Aquarium (hence the albatross picture).
Racism at its finest.
I would not recommend going here if you are person of color.
Was treated a little differently because of my Caucasian husband.
Ruined my Dads birthday.
My husband still gave a great tip.
The waiter was very attentive with the people behind us who have insufferable food sensitivity needs.
I have traveled the world & this is the first place a birthday mention was ignored.
He even asked us ARE YOU SHARING THE ENTREE when what we ordered is double the amount and price of the gluten sensitive customers.
Food & ambiance is ok for a costal California restaurant.
My husband spot with golf friends but will not recommend and will never come back here.
It's always a hopeful sign when vegan (V) and gluten free (GF) are clearly identified. That's the reason I chose Jacks at the Portola Hotel in Old Monterey. There were more than one item I can order. We selected a salad, The Sesame Ginger Bowl without the hoisin sauce, a side of fried tofu for protein, and the Turkey Pot Pie. Both items were delicious. The server forgot about the fried tofu, but when it finally came, it was oil soaked and not very enjoyable. The salad was enjoyable. The Turkey Pot Pie came with a spoon because it was kind of soupy inside, but enough turkey and very delicious. The hotel interior was nicely designed by the ambience at our table was not as nice because it felt like a low end sports bar. If we came back to Monterey or Pacific Grove again, we would definitely dine here.
I wish we could them 50 stars!! This restaurant is top notch in every possible way and we cannot wait to return for another incredible dining experience. Their grilled octopus is one of the best you will ever have. The scallops were perfection. The salads fresh, delicious and refreshing while also being very flavorful. And the desserts!!! Make it to the desserts!! And in addition to all of this they have a multitude of gluten free options. Heaven. Thank you to the chef and staff for what you do!!
