Fantastic spot for interesting, creative food without breaking the bank. 1 drink and enough food we all left satisfied was only 120 bucks total for a table of 4. Our servers were fantastic and the kitchen and serving staff were very accommodating of my girlfriend's celiac concerns. Absolutely fantastic.

The flavors are generally pretty complimentary and I am appreciative of the high-quality gluten-free pasta with celiac-friendly preparation. The atmosphere leaves something to be desired in two aspects: 1: the somewhat arrogant pricing 2: the customer conveyor-belt style service flow - they are trying to fit as many seatings as possible into each evening and do everything they possibly can to get people in & out in under an hour - seems a bit self-defeating when they are selling $65+ bottles of wine Worth it if you go in expecting to order light, get one drink, and move on. Definitely find somewhere else if you'd like to enjoy multiple courses and make an evening of it though.

Food was delicious, server was kind and very accommodating of my friend who has celiac! She even marked up the menu with all the foods that she could and couldn’t eat to make it easier for her. We both got paellas and oh my god the portion is HUGE so if you are going with another person make sure to share it btw the two of you. Great dinner spot in the city

My group came here for dinner while we were visiting the area and were all very impressed with the food and the service here. My gluten free pasta was outstanding and the noodles themselves were definitely good quality, not the budget stuff you get at grocery stores. Everyone else loved their pizzas and all said they would be back on our next trip. Atmosphere was not quite what I expected, but that not a bad thing, just don't worry about looking nice to come here! Casual and comfortable with awesome food. 10/10 give them a try.

This spot excels in offering authentic gluten-free Eastern Mediterranean dishes, featuring a delicious vegan and gluten-free falafel wrap made with a rice-based wrap that avoids the heaviness of typical fried falafels.

I ordered the lentil rice Mediterranean bowl with chicken za'atar. They substituted hummus for the walnut harissa due to my need to be gluten-free. This meal was absolutely delicious, fresh, and so filling!! If Eastern Mediterranean food is your jam, you will not be disappointed! So good! Just a not about the four stars for atmosphere: this restaurant is located in the Time Out Market food court so the expectation isn't high for atmosphere. That being the case, the ambiance is beer hall-eaque with subdued lighting and cocktails.

Living in the South End all my life, I’ve been blessed with so many unique restaurants nearby. We even have a seafood boil restaurant! Bootleg Special’s seafood boil is amazing and the garlic noodle is a must! The drinks are super fun and the vibe, NOLA speakeasy. Love it. Yesterday was the first time I stopped by for brunch and it has to be Boston’s best brunch spot! It is great for dates, girls outing, friends and family gatherings. Let’s just say it can accommodate any occasion because it’s such a fun and unique experience. I really enjoyed their brunch menu which include soufflé pancakes, bootleg Benedict, and brunch garlic noodles. They also have MANY gluten free options. I’ve also tried their newly launched menu item, the ConeNado and my favorite was the lobster clam chowder! Super fun and delicious! This is a must visit!

Chili was mostly tomatoes and peppers. Caprese sandwich was good, but soggy. Mediocre GF bread. GF macaroon was good, sugary, and right next to the gluten brownies.

I did not take any photos because I was very much in the moment. This was one of the best meals my husband and I have ever had out! I have to eat a gluten free diet, and they brought us out dishes that were all gluten free. The wine pairings for the dishes were on point. The manager came over and offered us two different white wines to choose from with our meal. One was a very unique white wine while the other was more what you may expect, so she was giving us tastes of each so we could choose. We chose the unique wine - I believe it was made with the grape skins still intact, which gave it an interesting flavor. The service was on point from everyone we came into contact with. Loved every moment of this dining experience.

Really great experience at Yellow Door Taqueria, conveniently by the Ink Block development. They have lots of outdoor tables, bookable on OpenTable, including some under the overhang (for minor drizzle protection) but still fully open-air. Food was delicious and fairly priced, and service was excellent. I listed out all my food allergies and Raffy handled me with aplomb – making me confident in and happy with all the food I got! There's a dedicated gluten-free frier for the chips but it does have seafood cooked in it, so they were kind enough to bring me some cute sliced corn tortillas to have with their delicious house-made guacamole for an appetizer. I can highly recommend the birria tacos (pan-fried and cheesy with excellent barbacoa) and chicken tinga taco (delicious on the plain, house-made corn tortilla). Rice and beans were ok – beans dramatically lardy and rice a little mushy, but ok. The kitchen was thoughtful enough to sub the 'avocado frito' on the chicken tinga for some plain avocado for me. Overall, an excellent experience for delicious tacos, with great outdoor dining and good care for my dietary restrictions. $60 subtotal for a party of two with chips and guacamole and 2-3 hearty tacos and sides but no drinks; more like $90 for two with drinks.
