Brian Keene

Great time with a group of 6 for brunch. Sat down immediately. Food was great and my favorite which I cannot find anywhere is gluten free pancakes and waffles.

We were wandering around Asbury Park in December on a very cold windy afternoon , and we were just looking for a place to duck inside and have a nice hot cup of cappuccino and maybe something sweet. We stumbled upon Dolce Fantasia, it's not on the main drag so we almost missed it. The inside is decorated very kitschy eclectic with a sense of welcome. Bright yellow and black with great personality just starts you off in a happy mood. And then it gets even better! I have recently been told that I need to stay away from gluten, that eating it inflames my joints and inflicts pain. Do you know how hard that is to do when you have a massive sweet tooth? The dessert menu had so many amazing choices that I could eat, I was so excited. And then I met the pistachio crème brûlée. Seriously, this had to have been heaven sent. I have never had such a delicious, decadent dessert. If it wasn't so rude, I would've licked out the bowl. We were telling friends of ours about this great little place we found and decided to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday dinner there on a Saturday night in the middle of January. If I was impressed by the pistachio crème brûlée, everything we ordered was equally delicious and beautifully presented. They definitely do not skimp on quality and you leave there quite satisfied. I'd say the worst part of the evening was trying to narrow down the choices, we sat there watching as the waiters delivered plates to other tables for inspiration, everything smelled and looked amazing and the people around us were really enjoying each dish. We actually struck up conversations with total strangers to find out if they recommended what they were eating. Sadly, I had to narrow it down to just one appetizer, one main dish, and my beloved crème brûlée. The crabcake appetizer was scrumptious with surprising flavors on the side. My lamb shank was fall off the bone tender and the accompanying risotto was really tastefully done. The three other people I was with all ordered different dishes so we can taste test everything, and even the pickiest among us, Meat and Potatoes Bob, cleaned his entire plate. Unfortunately, the rest of our birthdays are in August so we are brainstorming to find an excuse to come back before. I think if we went there more often, I would be extremely spoiled and not want to eat anywhere else. So we're going to keep Dolce Fantasia as our special celebratory home and visit Chef John and his remarkably professional staff at the next possible excuse.... we missed everybody's half birthday so we'll have to wait for someone to share good news I know I'm going to be very sorry for writing this review, it's going to make it harder to get a reservation, but Chef John deserves every delicious word.

The food was just delicious! And our server was very helpful with my gluten allergy! Would definitely come here again! Unfortunately, I left my leftovers on the table. I’m so sad. I’m missing out on a second meal.

Good lunch spot right on the boardwalk in Asbury. Super nice place / view of the ocean and beach with seating indoors or on the boardwalk. Gluten free options are available and marked on the menu. Shops and other spots along the boardwalk and also you could drive downtown which has a lot going on

Great food and fun vibe. They accommodate my gluten allergy well. Kennedy was a great server!

Cutest restaurant, sweetest staff, excellent food with plenty of gluten free options! It does get busy, but they do take walk ins.

We are a local architecture firm and held our office holiday party here recently. Having been to the Supper Club for different music events throughout the years, I wasn't sold on how their event planners, Vicki & Libby, would be able to create a warm and inviting place for our 48 staff members in a room that can accommodate 160 guests. But I have to say, they knocked it out of the park! The placement of the buffet tables to close in the space a bit was perfect and they were happy to accommodate my requests when it came to fostering an environment where everyone could choose to casually hang out at hi-top tables, at the bar, in the seated window spaces or at regular tables with their colleagues. They rolled in a Christmas tree for the stage, designated an area for our selfie station, permitted us to add our company logo to their 2 LCD panels on stage, provided a microphone for our speeches, played my specific Spotify playlist for us in their audio booth, etc. We did not pay extra for these items/services. Our add-on appetizer table by the bar was perfect for guests who arrived hungry and needed a little something before the buffet came out. The food we chose from their generous menu was all wonderful. We added a carving station with roast beef, which got rave reviews. The staff was perfectly accommodating that day, even to our gluten free employee (which I had forgotten about!). We chose the open bar tab package which worked out great because half of our staff doesn't drink alcohol. We have a culturally diverse team scattered amongst all ages here and as the HR Manager, it was important to me that EVERYONE had a good time and felt they were appreciated. I received fantastic feedback across the board. Especially from our Owner/Principal. He couldn't have been more pleased. Big thank you to Vicki & Libby for making me look good:)

Truly a wonderful experience! My husband and I were due for a date night and we like to try new places and REYLA has been on our list for a while. I decided to make a reservation at the chefs table which was an amazing decision! At first we weren’t sure what this entailed but Chef Anthony helped us along the way on what we should try, he took my gluten allergy seriously and truly an exceptional experience. The level of flavor and creativity in the food was beyond delicious, you could taste the love they put into their meals. We truthfully travel outside of NJ to get this level of flavor and accessibility to allergy friendly restaurants. Majority of their menu is gluten free, they have vegetarian options marked, as well. We cannot wait to come back and enjoy another fantastic meal and experience by Chef Anthony and his team!

Gluten free friendly! I think they've done an awesome job since taking over from the prior owners. The indoor space is brighter and more open, the food is a huge improvement and bonus points - they offer gluten free burger buns. Can't beat the views outside on the boardwalk. The weekend music scene is unchanged from old Langosta, still the best spot on a Fri or Sat for local live music.

👀👀Looking for the perfect spot in Asbury Park to enjoy great food and vibes? Look no further than 📍Pascal & Sabine! This cozy gem offers a fantastic dining experience for all occasions. As a gluten-free diner, I’m always on the lookout for places that cater to my needs without sacrificing taste. Pascal & Sabine’s escargot is simply to die for, and the occasional gluten-free bread is a delightful bonus. 🥹 I make the drive from NYC just to indulge in their delicious offerings. Thanks, Pascal & Sabine, for always keeping things exciting. Can’t wait to try their new experiences in 2024! Oui, oui! 😎

I really enjoyed my meal from here. It was healthy and tasty. I love that their baked goods are gluten free! I also love how they have unsweetened hibiscus tea. This is a great addition to asbury park!

Cardinal's catering is absolutely the GOLD STANDARD. In addition to being freakin' delicious, they had lots of options for vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free, which was key for our wedding. We got so many compliments on the cocktail hour - I've never heard so much appreciation for cheese and appetizers! The dinner was fantastic too - everyone loved the short rib, harissa salmon, and cauliflower steaks. Even meat-eaters wanted those cauliflower steaks! And of course they knocked it out of the park with dessert, a lovely lemon cake with a hint of blackberry and their delicious iced cream sandwiches. If you want your event to have memorable, delicious food, served by an incredible team who was all over every detail, go with Cardinal! I could go on and on, but their team ran so smoothly and again THE FOOD WAS EPIC.

Parmagianni Pizza is the BEST! Detroit- style and vegan (plus gluten-free options) with so many creations that it is hard to choose just one type to get. I crave their pizza all the time. The staff are all wonderful, amazing, thoughtful, accommodating, and caring, too! Definitely check them out when you can and consider them for an event as well.
