Top 8 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots to Delight in Independence

Chaos Entertainment

I got a steak and chicken fajitas. I gave the service 4 stars because I ordered corn tortillas and the kitchen gave me flour tortillas and I'm gluten free. The wait staff was great. I couldn't understand why I got one slice of a tomato normal slices of tomatoes for fajitas. All in all, a nice place to get some Mexican food

Great service, good food. Small gluten free menu, but tasty.

Our server was Kimberly. One of my grandchildren has Celiac and another is gluten intolerant and Kimberly was awesome at helping them feel comfortable with the fact that they were taking their need for gluten free seriously. They loved the gf options and really appreciated the flexibility that the restaurant had in giving them as many options as possible. The food was great and Kimberly's attitude and friendless helped to make this an experience with my grandchildren that we all will remember for many years to come. Thank you all for that experience.

Walked in with very little idea what to expect. Which is, firstly, that you should have a reservation. The decor could be overwhelming if it wasn't so well put together. The restaurant is also an antique store, so a lot, if not all, of the decor, is for sale, along with another floor or two of antiques, which I did not visit. Back to the lack of reservation - the manager said they could serve the two of us in half an hour, and we were welcome to view the garden in the meantime. The garden is gorgeous, with plenty of shade along the walkway, and outdoor seating and it was somehow cooler there than anywhere else on this summer day. When it was time for us to order, it was a tough decision. Menu items range in price mostly from $16-30. It was more than I'd anticipated, but not unreasonable. I wanted to eat light, and got salmon and herbed cream cheese bruschetta, minus the bread, since I'm gluten free. My companion got a housemade chicken salad sandwich with a side of potato salad. The portion sizes completely justified the price. I got 4 thin slices of salmon rolled up with cream cheese (the server said the kitchen had fun making that) on a bed of shredded romaine, topped with housemade (bread & butter style) pickles, picked red onion, sliced hard boiled egg, crumbled goat cheese, and capers. There was a slice of orange and of watermelon on the side. The chicken salad was on thick toasted bread. It also came with fruit and pickles. We both decided the pickles were tasty, but too spicy. We considered dessert, but were already taking home half of our meals, so we declined. The options were lemon cake with mascarpone filling, flourless chocolate torte, or créme bruleé. UPDATE 6/22/23: Went with my husband for our anniversary. Dinner entrée prices range from $20-60. I had a grilled salmon with apricot sauce, rice pilaf and sautéed vegetables on the side. My husband got a tenderloin steak with loaded baked potato and sautéed vegetables. I got dessert this time! Creme brulee with berries - a traditional nutmeg custard. We also walked around the upper floors and in the gardens. The ambience is magical.

I met with some friends there on Sunday 5/4 for the brunch buffet. The decor is quite dated (50’s to 70’s), dark with glass and brass, which was nostalgic for me. All of the buffet food was room temp, which was quite disappointing and unpleasant (especially the hollandaise, it really affected the texture). The plate of various meats that were brought to the table were warm but very overcooked. I also found the seasoning very inconsistent, some things needed salt, other things had too much salt. Our server, Cheryl, was fantastic, attentive and friendly. The bathroom was quite small and difficult to move around in if you were in there with another person. They were also down some steep stairs. One of my party has mobility issues and didn’t feel safe using them. Another of my party needed Gluten Free and there wasn’t much available to her, the server kindly offered to bring her some ice cream. This was overall a disappointing experience considering it was $30.

Food was top notch, wine expert was patient and helpful and gluten free options was the best for me!

Every time I eat here it is such a good experience. Although it is family-friendly dining, it still has a quaint and romantic atmosphere to it. The food is delicious, and the wait staff always does a nice job. I developed a food allergy which they were so happy to check on things with the chef for me to make sure I was accommodated safely. If I remember correctly, they also have gluten-free options on the menu. This is a great place for a date, or a special occasion. I don't think you could be disappointed! If you have young children you may want to divert their attention away from the bar area to the right as you walk in.
