Great food and has gluten free options

What started out as a not so good service, was turned in to a good one. My daughter has celiac, and I ordered a gluten free dinner to go. When I arrived home, there was flour tortillas in her meal. I called the restaurant back, talked to the manager Gali. She apologized and hand delivered her a new meal. I can’t thank Gali enough for caring about the service and my daughter condition enough to offer correction. Papi’s, great choice as a manager. Gali, keep up the great work.

Absolutely EXCELLENT Food with a big focus on Gluten Free. Wonderful Beer and Bourbon selection in a great atmosphere with wonderful servers.

We love dining at Corto Lima. This place knows how to do Mexican food in a way that will surprise it's guests! Their menu is filled with an array of delicious dishes that are sure to satisfy your palate. And there are quite a few vegan and gluten free dishes for those v/gf peeps. Let's start with their guacamole because it's been our go to. It's rich and bursting with flavor. Served on a grape leaf and topped with finely chopped onions and tomatoes, you can really taste the freshness of the avocados, and it was just the right amount of tangy. Without a doubt, we're in love with their guac! The spicy margs are exceptional as well. They use a cousin to the jalapeno that gives the marg a more reddish tint and taste even fresher. Very well done. We also tried their ceviche which was good but not what you'd normally expect from a ceviche dish. It came topped with corn nuts which added an interesting twist. Definitely worth trying if you're up for something different. Among our favorites was definitely the Lomo Saltado. The flavors were bold and spicy which made it mouth-wateringly good! The meat was tender and cooked to perfection. Of course, you really can't go wrong ordering any of their tacos. Just slightly smaller portions. If you're in search of scrumptious Mexican food that stays true to its roots while offering unique twists, this place won't disappoint!

First time at BJs in Lexington and we are so glad we stopped. Our server Angel was amazing and kind! All the items we tried were delicious! Our party had the Kickin' chicken sandwich, gluten free chicken bacon ranch pizza, broccoli cheese soup, cheeseburger sliders, and couscous mac and cheese balls. Also the pizookies were a hit, I would recommend the triple chocolate one.

The food was lackluster, my tacos were dry, and the flavors were just ok. The service was absolutely minimal, a little snippy at the register and food delivery was fine. The atmosphere is loud, and kinda worn out but clean. I thought this place was great when it opened. I went every week, but I became gluten intolerant and they only have 3 tacos that I can eat, so I've only come back a couple of times. Both visits in the last year were like this so I feel fine saying that it's mediocre.

Joanne Andres

Great place. Delicious menu with gluten free bread.

Jon Andrews

We loved our location in Georgetown and wish they would come back! Great gluten-free options including pancakes. Prices have increased and that is the only reason I don’t give Josie’s 5 stars. Coffee is $3.50. Selections and portions are above average. Would like to see seasonal or weekly specials. I chose the grilled pork chops on this visit. If I’m going to spend almost $20 on breakfast with water for one person I might as well get my money’s worth. Generous portion of meat and potatoes. Felt like one of the few choices priced appropriately.

Monica West

Danielle was our server..she was absolutely phenomenal, excellent service, excellent food. We had a gluten allergy at our table, she took the time to make sure the food was prepared properly. Ordered a Hanava Coconut mixed drink, would definitely order again. Overall, A+++ from our table. If in the area, we would return again From: your Cincinnati pickleball friends

Reese Wheatley

Callie is the best!! My family is gluten free and she always helps us and is the sweetest server!!

Alex Francke Sohn

Great for dietary restrictions and gluten free options! The servers are so kind and always handle my food allergies with great care. If you're looking for southern-homestyle cooking on a gluten or dairy free diet, Ramseys will take good care of ya!

I took my daughters out to Parlor as a treat, we were first timers here. There is meter parking on the side of the building and a small strip of free parking in the back, parking was pretty good for the area. The 4 of us each got a donut, and the 4 of us have different reviews. Service was phenomenal, the staff was so friendly and patient. As for the food, we got the vegan option of their donuts and they come gluten free which was nice because i needed mine to be both gluten free and vegan. I personally wasnt a fan, but understand i am a plain jane kinda gal, and these are fancy gourmet donuts. It was great for what its supposed to be, but not for me preference wise. My daughter however LOVED it. Shes more of a classy gal, she loves fancy places and macarons lol so this was right up her alley. They are on the more expensive side, but what isn't these days? Also, again, i would consider these gourmet donuts. Think along the realm of crumble cookie in donut form with a more hipster vide to it. Give them a try.

Mylinda Casey

Really good food, fast friendly service, and affordable! Plus I like that they offer a good amount of gluten free items.

Adam Keyser

Soooo good. Great variety of meats and sides. Delicious pie. Plenty of gluten free options.

Libby Ramm

Truly can't say enough about this place. Food, cocktails, service, ambiance are all 10/10. We have a celiac/gluten free in the family and they always are very careful in food prep!! Super accommodating to all meal preferences. A spectacular meal every time you go, with an every changing list for food and cocktails, its worth a trip several times a year.

David Gregory

Connor our server was friendly and helpful. Gluten-free menu was wonderful. Enjoyed our food- I had the Gluten-free high stack of Strawberry pancakes!

Kelsey Voight

Delicious coffee in a super cool and unique environment. As a gluten free individual, I appreciated that they offered GF cookies and muffins. Lots of art all around and fun past time such as games, puzzles, yarn, magnetic poetry, and coloring books. This place is one of a kind. Highly recommend!

Ashley Wilbers

We went here to celebrate our engagement in early February. It was absolutely wonderful. The staff were so friendly and helpful. My fiancé had called ahead and made some special arrangements and we were greeted at the door with them. The food was FANTASTIC. They gave us free champagne and desert. Also, I have celiac and they had wonderful gluten free options. Best Italian food in Lexington! The atmosphere is upscale and fun.

My husband had been raving to me about First Watch in Asheville. This location was my first experience. It was a Sunday morning @ 10 am & the restaurant was EXTREMELY crowded! We were fortunate as a party of two and were seated quickly. We ordered, and breakfast arrived within 15 minutes which I felt was great. I had the Traditional Breakfast and was pleased that gluten free toast was available. The food was high quality and very good. Our server was great as well. The only complaint I have about this establishment is that the tables are jammed so close together. Where we were sitting, you could actually disturb and bump into people at the next table. You had to strategically sit. I left my seat to use the restroom and when I got back, a different party had been seated next to us. It was impossible for me to get back to my seat he was so close to my chair. I had to reach over the table to collect my belongings. It was very uncomfortable sitting this closely to other patrons throughout the meal. I will probably not be back to this location, as we were traveling, but I will try other locations, and hope the seating is much better.

One of the best Italian restaurants in our humble opinions. We were pleasantly surprised they had gluten free pasta. Everything was incredibly flavorful. Apart from the bar section of the restaurant with the TVs, the environment is cozy, warm, and romantic. The night we dined there was a brilliant live music artist serenading the room with piano and sax. We'd definitely recommend and we're already planning our next outing here.

Rachel Leigh

Our orders came out wrong..at least two of three. My request for gluten free bread has arrived with gluten toast on top of my meal twice at this location. And my eggs were overcooked this time. There was just four tiny slivers of avocado...usually it has much more. Our waitress removed one meal even without us making any complaint...she saw the orders were wrong and took the initiative, so I am giving 5 stars for service. 3 stars for atmosphere because it is incredibly noisy with little noise dampening implementation.

In town for the derby, went here with a friend so she could have her prickly pear margarita. And I am glad we did! The food and staff here are absolutely amazing!! My wife can't have gluten, and they substituted what needed to be so she could have nachos! Highly recommend this place!!!

Ordered gluten free for my kid. They made it with regular white bread (I'll post pics on googles pics for this biz). My son already ate some of the bread before noticing. I called to let them know. The manager was super nice about it and even brought replacement order to our house which I thought was great. We got his allergy under control after having to give him meds for it. He still feels sick, of course as is common after eating gluten when allergic. He was ready to try to eat the replacement meal she brought. The bread is the grain one this time. The problem though is that the meat looks dirty like particles of some nasty like actual dirt. I'll post pics of that too. Congratulations. You succeeded in running 3 customers off. I'm sure they'll be happy cause clearly that's the goal based on this food.

Nancy Turner

We started with one of the best appetizers we've ever had. The 4:00 Snack Pack has something for everyone, in our group that includes gluten free, vegan, pescatarian and everything. Food is made fresh in house and we all enjoyed our dish. You won't be disappointed!

Nina G

Absolutely incredible food. Likely some of the best Italian I've had in a long time. Add to the fact the pasta was freshly made! It was perfectly spicy with a wonderful amount of sauce. The cheesecake was gluten free so it had an odd texture but was still delicious. The whip cream on it though, THAT was beyond amazing. Soft, fluffy wonderful delight. Lastly, the fig old fashioned was refreshing and fun. The menu changed since last time but dinner was just as incredible. I promise you'll not be disappointed.

Michelle Shotwell

We chose to go here after another restaurant let us down. So glad we did had awesome food wait staff was extremely helpful and had Gluten Free options there were delicious!!!!!! Thank you !!!!!

Abigail Wafford

Great vegan and gluten-free options menu clearly list all ingredients you can build your own put them over fries nachos or have it as a burrito. Staff was friendly. We go all three pets of food and two drinks. It was Thursday so two for one margaritas and it was only around 40.

Emily Alberti

Fantastic Gluten Free options! Always hits the spot and so good.

Renee Mancino

Met a local friend for dinner here while in town for a conference. Does not disappoint. Started with the fried mild banana peppers, which were phenomenal. No idea what breading or oil they use, but the best I’ve had. We also had the Hot brown (must try turkey, ham, white cheddar mornay, local bacon & tomato concoction that you can only eat half of), 10-ounce delmonico steak, and Kentucky Cobb. You order at the counter and they bring it out to you, so all hot, unfussy, and tasty. We didn’t have any dessert but they did have some really unbelievable items, including giant gluten free brownies. Excellent food, lots of local favorites, great local charm and service. Look for the white horse in the front, otherwise you may think it’s just another farmhouse along the road of many others. Highly recommend.

Bennett V

Best gluten free muffins anywhere!

Betsy Southerland

They no longer offer gluten-free buns. This was very disappointing as this was the reason we chose this restaurant. A bun-less sausage is just not as satisfying.

Bennett Darling

Absolutely wonderful!! We had a private party on Sunday and the whole place was gorgeous. Our server Auggie was extremely welcoming and the rest of the staff were so nice as well. They were also very well informed on dietary restrictions (gluten, dairy, vegan; cross contamination practices) and had lots of delicious options that we couldn’t even tell were gf. Everyone loved the tea (I wanted to try them all!), food, and atmosphere. I will be back for sure! ✨💕

My family and I had dinner. Our server, Sara, was terrific! She helped my granddaughter with her gluten-free menu, and she was very polite. Thank you to Sara R and the rest of the staff for an excellent meal and experience.

Karyn Renfrow

Great service, I always feel safe eating here as a person with celiac disease. Staff very knowledgeable

Natasha Wente

As a person with celiac, it's so hard to find safe and delicious food! They had both! The best food I've had since I've being gluten free. The service was amazing and the chef was so friendly.

Jamie Wilcox

If you’re gluten-free, you have to check out Grounded All Day — their options are actually delicious! I had the Katniss without wontons on a gluten-free bagel, and it was absolutely fantastic. The shredded chicken with fig spread was the perfect combo — flavorful, satisfying, and honestly one of the best gluten-free bagels I’ve ever had. My husband had a blueberry bagel with plain cream cheese and loved his too, and my latte was perfectly made and hit the spot. The space itself is super cute, thoughtfully designed, and they’ve got a beautiful outdoor seating area that’s ideal for relaxing. The staff were wonderful, and the owner made our experience extra special — taking time to chat, explain the menu, offer samples, and even share great local recommendations for the rest of our Bourbon Trail adventure. Five stars all the way — from the food to the people to the atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!

D Barrett

What a great find! They were able to accommodate a gluten free plate for one of us. Love the ambience and the Thai curry chicken was amazing. Coffee ice cream was a bonus!

Lona West

Chef Nate is Amazing! The Lobster Pappardelle is delicious, regular or gluten-free! We got the potato wedges and Mussels for starters. Both were wonderful and gluten-free! We sat on their beautiful patio and enjoyed our freshly prepared meal! Chef Nate is so knowledgeable and capable that when we go back, we will tell him to surprise us! Thanks for making my birthday fabulous!

Christina Wethington, United Real Estate Bluegrass

Kelsey & Stephanie & Chandler are truly 5 Stars!! ⭐️ this is our second trip here in 3 days because the service is a whole vibe! Chandler caught that I had ordered a gluten free burger and that there were onion straws still on my burger. He cared enough to check for me as those are not gf! Severe Allergy avoided! Can’t say enough great things about this staff! May just be our new Lex fav! You must try the bbq burger if you’re celiac like me!! Thank you all! Kelsey & Stephanie worked non stop and kept the bar spotless! 🙌🏼🩷

Came in with my girlfriend, and the staff were more than happy to accommodate her gluten intolerance, which we both appreciated. The food here is phenomenal too! *6/5 stars atmosphere

Michael Hancock

The service staff here is impeccable, and they were more than happy to accommodate my partner's gluten allergy with substitutions.

Kim Mobley

Run don’t walk! Everything was amazing. My husband and I have eaten at 5 star restaurants all over the country and this is one of our top favorites. We have the chargrilled oysters, seasonal special catch of the day, and pecans coconut dessert. Service was fantastic as well. Thank you for an awesome restaurant in my hometown. Side note everything we had was gluten free. It is possible to make food amazing AND gluten free.

Jean SH.

Noticed some of the patties were small but at least I got gluten free!I travel all over but with Allergies It's hard but we know they have allergy menu I love the gifts also!
