Tasty and they had good gluten-free options. And very fresh.

Great food, reasonable gluten safe options, breakfasts are great, you have to try a Ted tart.

I went to Ambar with my friends early Saturday morning. They are extremely efficient and our server Peter (Pex) was AMAZING. He was quick, friendly, and super alert to my gluten allergy. I would highly recommend in terms of the environment and atmosphere. Plus the food was absolutely to die for. I would get the unlimited breakfast tapas style with a bunch of friends with the mimosas!

This place was amazing from the phone call. I called ahead to see if they could accommondate my many dietary needs. I cannot have gluten, canola oil, sunflower oil, or soybean oil. Lauren, one of the hostesses assure me they could accommondate everything. While she strongly suggested to book a reservation, she mentioned there were some spots that are available but on a first come first serve basis. When we arrived we were seated immediately at the community table and had Ian as our waiter who went out of his way to make sure our meal and experience was perfect and it was. He was made away of all my dietary needs which was amazing not to run through that again with a different person. They were able to accommondate just as they said they would. The chef even made up for me a side dish that I could have. I had the beef wagyu which was cooked to perfection and juicy. My husband had the halibut. Now, I don't even like fish, and I thought his dish was amazing. If all fish tasted like that, I would eat fish more often. The portions were a little on the smaller side, but the dishes themselves had excellent flavors. My husband also had the parker rolls with goat butter, the hard apple cider, and the s'more bar. I didn't eat dessert, but the desserts look beautifully presented and my husband raved about it. Also, I never had goat butter before and that was also delicious. What drew me to this place is that from their info on the website said they try to source locally and organic when possibly. This is what we try to do ourselves. We love that this place adopted that as well. The food, service, and the presentation was superior. When we are back in town, we will definitely return. We also got the butterhead lettuce salad and dates too go, which of course was also delicious.

A full sensory experience, our dinner here was one of the best I've ever had. I have celiac, and noted that in my reservation - they accommodated gluten free with no issues. The angel eggs were a whimsical tongue in cheek surprise. I couldn't even describe the crab and grits, and the gluten free biscuit was a perfect pairing. Instead of dinner and a show for a $400-500 night out, consider this your full experience. What a treat!

First time here. Partner (who is celiac) & I dined in about an hour before they closed so we weren't sure if they would be happy to see us... we were pleasantly surprised. I had three chicken tacos, and she had a bowl. She let them know about her gluten allergy and they were already changing gloves before we had the chance to ask them to! You can mark your allergies on the order kiosk but we always like to double check. They were awesome, even this close to closing time. Tacos were packed full and veggies tasted fresh. Everything was full of flavor, and tables were clean. Will definitely go back next time we're in DC!

This place has the best gluten free crust I've ever had. Great pizza and cocktails

One of the most unique and delicious Italian foods in DC. It’s pinsa (light pizza) or like a open sandwich. They bring all ingredients from italy including flour and meats. My wife is gluten free in the US, but the flour from Europe does not bother her, so it’s really nice to have a spot to enjoy pinsa together without worrying about allergies. Chef Angelina and Chef Fabrizio are the best. They work hours and hours in the kitchen themselves to make sure serving their guests the highest quality. We are so lucky that they moved here near us and started this awesome restaurant.

Lovely cafe! Food was beautiful and delicious. Interior is adorable! Went for lunch- unfortunately the staff is not super informed on what’s gluten free but I knew I’d be safe with the omelette. Looked at the dinner menu and it notes gluten free items (yay!) and I think there may a few more they overlooked labeling…buckwheat for example is a root and not related to wheat. Will return!

This place is not Celiac friendly. I ordered a gluten free dish and was sick for a day. What a waste! I paid too much for something that made me sick. If you are Celiac or gluten intolerant, this is NOT the place for you.

Gluten free bread is an option! So I got the tuna sandwich and it was So Good. Downstairs feels like a comfy dim coffeehouse vibe and upstairs transforms into whatever it needs to be. The day I went there were multiple panels for Lavender Con and later a drag show.
