Great food with lots of gluten free options. They have indoor and outdoor seating but the takeout is great.

Great food, lots of options for someone with gluten allergies/celiac. Wonderful service, Fernando made our night extra special! Thank you!

I was throughly blown away when the waiter told us that everything is fried in the same oil. Seafood and French fries, same oil. So forget about French fries if you have a seafood and gluten allergy. Why aren't fries cooked separately? The waiter was kind and considerate. He waiter was kind, and his service was excellent.

Pressed Cafe on Needham St is one of the only places in Newton where you can get a hearty breakfast bowl or burrito around 6 AM. One major benefit I found is that they also have extensive gluten-free options! They are well versed and responsive to allergy concerns, as this morning I asked if a particular item had gluten in it. The cashier then took the time to check the allergen booklet to see if there was any concern. There was not. I am very thankful for that cashier because they displayed a discipline and hard work when some Pain In The Butt Customer is asking about allergy concerns. I appreciate that! They have a variety of foods, but I recommend any of the foods they have. They also cater to people who are Paleo eaters, with a few desserts or pastries that are Paleo friendly. Personally, one of my favorites is their cold brew coffee with light coconut milk. It is a George Howell brand rocket fuel that is flavorful and even craved on a winter morning. There chia pudding is adorned with fresh cut fruit, jam, and peanut butter, giving it a variety of flavors. Their GF sandwiches and wraps are ample. Pricewise, you may find comparable options if you can wait until 7 or 8 AM, but Pressed Cafe is hard to beat if you're an early bird and want consistent high quality foods. If you can't make it to the Newton area, make sure to check their website. They are located around the greater Boston area, too!

We had a great meal. We reserved a table for 5 and were seated immediately when we arrived. Servers were all nice and attentive. They have a rather large gluten free menu. My wife needs to eat gluten free, so that's a big part of why we chose Davio's for this family meal. She was not disappointed! All the servers were very aware and knowledgeable about the whole GF thing, and that's huge! She didn't see exactly what she was hoping for on the menu, so she asked one of our servers if they could make her some seafood and pasta alfredo. No problem. The kitchen made her a very generous plate w gf pasta, scallops and shrimp and alfredo sauce! It was delicious! Cooked perfectly. And she had a gf roll, and clam chowder. She was very happy, so thank you to the kitchen and staff to make this happen. The rest of us also had delicious meals as well. Clam chowder was hot and delicious (and GF anyway), popovers, and spring roll trio were all yum! Steaks cooked perfectly as we ordered them. We also shared roasted potatoes, risotto and Brussel sprouts. All very good, although the risotto was a little bland. And its very dark in there. But that's it for negatives. We would go back without hesitation.

Good service, and the food came out fast even during a busy lunch hour. A bit better taste and quality than your typical diner, which was a pleasant surprise. You'll get better hummus and falafel here than you would at some dedicated Mediterranean places in the area. They do have plenty of gluten free options for the folks who need that, too.

My organization held a 20-person staff dinner in Social's private event space recently, and I was completely blow away by the experience. Bill Costa worked with us in the weeks leading up to the event to help us plan a really lovely event, including working with us to design a custom multi-course menu with our logo on it. There were plenty of vegetarian and gluten-free menu options, and we were told the chef could take a request for a vegan dish to cover our vegan staff as well. The private event space was spacious and nicely isolated from the rest of the restaurant; the food and drinks were quality; the price was excellent; and the service was truly above and beyond. Staff appreciated the free validated parking, and it was especially convenient for our staff who were staying at the Four Points hotel. It was a five star experience in every way, and for a fraction of the price we would have paid elsewhere. I really cannot say enough good things!

First I’d like to say, their reservation system is great. You can basically get into a queue ahead of time to make sure you get a spot as they do not take reservations. The staff were very friendly and the spot itself is pretty interesting looking. There is a lot to look at when you walk in. The food itself was very good. They also had many options to pick from. The main issue is with allergies. First, they are very knowledgeable about what is safe and what is not safe. The issue is we he ordered a breakfast meal that indicated it could be made gluten free. The waiter had stated the hash browns were not in fact gluten free so we were offered a fruit cup. The fruit cup was bland and most likely not fresh. Not the end of the world, however we were charged an extra fee for the substitution which the waiter did not mention. So, the item should not be labeled gluten free or the up-charge should be mentioned beforehand. Or, the up charge should be fully removed if the item is gluten free. This spot is definitely worth going to but I will not be returning any time soon.
