where do I start? 😍 the service is chefs kiss 👌- I’ve always had amazing servers who try to make our experience special. ✨I could write a love song about the wedge salad. I get it every time. ✨I dream about the thunderbird pizza. (also, all the pizzas can come gluten free! big win) It’s slightly spicy and sweet. ✨I wish I could swim in the espresso martini.. I think it's the best one in Memphis. they have a revolving drink menu and I've never tried one I didn't like. my only complaint is it's a little loud in the center of the room so it's hard to hear if you're sitting at a large table.

Had the cauliflower and salad. My husband had the enchilada bowl. The staff seemed knowledgeable about celiac and the food was excellent. Glad to have this app to find celiac safe restaurants when traveling.

My goodness!! If only I had pictures of the experience that I could share. I had such a great time I forgot to take pictures of the food, but this experience was just so phenomenal. It’s my third time patronizing this location altogether. (2 dine-in and 1 takeout; each time positive experience.) I was there to celebrate my mother’s birthday and from the moment I placed my reservation that morning I was dealt with in a courteous manner and utmost patience. Thank you Ben for setting the tone for a great evening and thank you Ms. Dean later when I called to confirm that I was still on my way. Although I recommend trying your best to be on time for your reservation out of respect to the staff and guests, I ended up being an hour late (but I asked my guests to check in for me); however, the diligence and care of the staff was touching. I was escorted to my reserved area with a smile. The reservation was originally for a smaller amount of guests but since I was unsure about the specific number in attendance, when I got there they had not 1, but 2 tables reserved! Ana, our server for the first table, promptly greeted us and had a perfect attitude which gave us an even more pleasant experience! She was so attentive to our needs that night, and did everything in a timely manner. I’ve never had such excellent service. She even took pictures of our guests for us, and was very friendly. I believe Rachel was the name of the server at our second table and she even served the couple who came in a little before closing with us. When I did interact with her she did very well and an excellent attitude! All of the food everyone loved, and the guests asked me for recommendations so the majority of them ordered my suggestion which is also the restaurant’s suggestion: cedar plank salmon! I get it every time. Literally the best salmon, veggies, and marble potatoes, but some guests ordered different sides. The lamb I tried was so juicy and tender. I had the botanical smash mocktail and it was good. The birthday girl enjoyed her meal as well and they cater to gluten-free eaters like herself which was another factor in choosing this location. Great selection of food!! Great quality AND quantity at a great price. Beautiful, intimate, and sophisticated ambiance. Also, I love the on-site security and the option of valet parking. The staff that night really took great care of us and it all points back to the great managers there and God. Everything was so perfect that night I knew He was in the midst. All of it was what I prayed for and exceeded my expectations. It was such a magnificent experience and such a blessing—the type of evening that will have our guests, myself, and my mom, whom I surprised that night (was in joyful tears), with a party that will be talked about greatly for years!! Thank you so very much and of course, I will be back and continue to look forward to many more positive experiences. Highly appreciated and highly recommended. :) (The pictures, except the receipt from the night of, are actually from the very first time I tried Seasons 52 which was a great experience.)

I love Amerigo. last week and my visit there, I had a great waiter. My friend and I got there early enough to do the early bird special and I think I'll do that again. All that great food and a glass of wine for a very reasonable price. And I can have gluten-free there and not get sick. Hurrah! I just wish they would find some good gluten-free bread because I miss it so. I know it's been years since they had it, but it was so good! And a treat celiac don't get very often when they go out.

Claudia English

Great gluten free options and lovely service! All around a great breakfast place.

Alli Haskill

Delicious food, pleasant servers, and lots of gluten free options.

Ashley Chapman

I absolutely love Imagine Vegan and to all my sweet tooth friends. The owner is an incredible baker serving up the best sweet treats in the city! When I'm craving something sweet, this is always my go-to place, and they have gluten-free options 😊. Stop in. You'll be glad you did!

Gretchen Robison

Celiac friendly!!! Great margaritas and a wonderful gluten free selections.

Mark Robertson

The menu is spectacular and the food is every bit as deliciously described. We loved the way the menu wasn’t a fixture and we could construct our own meals. Our gluten free requirements were happily accorded with. Staff from the meet and greet onwards were outstanding, particularly Avery who took care of everything with decorum and humour looking after us and our little girl who summed it up when Avery asked Harper “What was the best for you tonight?” She said “You”!

David Garvin

Great menu with a few vegan items listed on the menu, also gluten free is marked the menu menu. Loved the selections of appetizers too.

Perry Knotts

They have a Gluten Free specific menu which was super helpful for my girlfriend. The bartender went out of his way to make sure everything could be prepared for her the way she needed.

Jessica Harrison

Cortisha was super sweet during our visit for 4 birthday parties all together. I love that I can order a gluten free pizza and never have a reaction. The whole crew is amazing

SUPPORT SUPPORT SUPPORT!!!!!! One of my top places to dine in. They have amazing gluten free options.

Lauren Baker

Lots of coffee options, delicious! This place has a lot of character from plants to books to the company there. There are gluten free pastry options. I had a piece of blueberry bread! It was alright, not the best I’ve had but definitely a fun treat. They also have lunch options.

korey

Great breakfast spot! The pancakes are huge, and the breakfast potatoes are some of the best I've ever had. Today, I had the loaded grits, and they were sooooo good. Vegan and gluten-free items are marked on the menu,too.

Chayah Fagan

A little overpriced in our opinion, but delicious steak! The second one that is. We ordered a medium rare steak and were served a medium well, BUT, the staff made SURE we were happy and raced out an absolutely wonderful filet mignon- free of charge. One big plus side, was that they offered a gluten-free/vegetarian menu for dietary restrictions. We enjoyed ourselves and were satisfied in the end.

Nicole H

The food was amazing! Delicious Gluten Free and cauliflower pizza. Good service and would definitely return. Sadly if you want extra dressing for your salad, or a veggie added to your salad like onions; it does come with an up charge.

Babalu East Memphis is not as loud as a Babalu Midtown, but it's still a little loud for a lot of conversation. However, the food is so good (and there are a lot of choices for us celiacs) that I go anyway, when I get a chance. I had a great glass of red sangria (made on site) and my companion had a yummy looking drink, but I forgot what it was. The service was good, and I especially enjoyed the new server who made the guacamole table side. Can't wait to go back!

Meredith Avery

I recently discovered that I have Celiac disease, which made me worried about the foods I would have to give up, like pancakes. But then, I found out that Another Broken Egg Cafe offers gluten-free pancakes on its menu, along with a variety of other gluten-friendly options. I was pleasantly surprised by the taste of the pancakes, and since they are prepared to order, I could customize them to my liking. Moreover, our server, Chris, provided excellent service that exceeded our expectations. I'm looking forward to returning!

Laura Irvine

The food was delicious! Cute atmosphere. They were able to accommodate my gluten free mod to the salmon Benedict. 😋 The hot chai was ok but not exceptional.

Felicia White

Great experience. Our lunch started with a complimentary bowl of popcorn that the severs bring to each table. It was a welcomed snack as we surveyed the menu. We started off the the GENERAL TSO'S CAULIFLOWER, which was the highlight of the meal. I eat gluten-free, so I finally got to enjoy an appetizer! The hubs said, "We could feed this this to the kids and they would never know it wasn't chicken." It was fantastic and we polished off every piece. I had the ENCHILADA CHICKEN BOWL (gf). The shredded chicken was tender and complimented by the seasoned rice, black beans, guac and lettuce. I didn't finish it all, but I did make a dent in the Gen. Tso's cauliflower earlier. The hubs ordered the SOB BURGER with CANDIED BACON. He ate every bite, so I'm assuming that was two thumbs up. The fries were a medium thickness and came out hot!. The atmosphere was soothing and aesthetically pleasing. I enjoyed looking into the open kitchen while we talked between courses. We will be returning to SOB East! If you found my review helpful, tap the heart & let see know. Thanks!

Friday Lunch. Gluten-free options and fully capable staff.. both entrées were amazing!

I’m titling this one of the worst anniversary experiences we’ve probably ever had in 22 years. I will keep it short. To start the valet is not covered between the restaurant and where you drop off. It was raining and we got soaked going into the restaurant. Also, the signage is small for the restaurant and valet, we had to call to find both. Next, my wife is gluten free( gluten intolerance that makes her super sick) she stated this on the reservation and to the server when she asked for a gluten free menu. This did not happen, the wrong food, that looked similar to what she ordered( we thought) and was told by the expo was her food was delivered. We did not find out until she was 3/4 the way complete with the meal. The server and manager were great and super apologetic but this is bad. My wife has not touched gluten in 6+ years, she is now in the restroom and will be there the remainder of the night. This is not a good look for a super expensive restaurant. I have to say my food was excellent, the reason I paid for it. Best pasta, I have probably ever had. Anyways food is good despite the circumstance. Last, the valet, we give the ticket to the server to get the car. After 10 minutes or so we go to the stand to get it. The valet standing there says I’m on my way to get it. We wait another 20 mins and still no one has come back. At this point we are worried. We finally see the other valet who tells us that the guy has lost our fob and is looking for it. The guy who lost the fob finally comes back and admits this to us. Don’t forget it is still pouring down rain. I go with no umbrella to retrace his footsteps. Needless to say in the half mile between the lot they park the cars and the restaurant we do not find it. Long story short, we have friends on the way to bring us another key, and I happen to find it using the flashlight I have after an hour and a half search. The owner of the valet service was spoken with and was planning to buy a new fob, but just know if you valet here that they park your car in a gravel parking lot that is unattended a half mile from the restaurant. The car is dirty and again a half mile from the restaurant. To end I will probably order pasta Togo sometime, but will probably never be back. Also, the atmosphere was kind of boring, definitely not a magical night.

Scott Perkins

Great experience. Menu items were not your standard run of the mill options. But server was great at answering questions and confirming which items were, or could be modified to be, gluten-free or vegetarian. And I got to sit in the Priscilla chair! Would definitely recommend or return when I'm in the area.

Very friendly and accommodating to gluten intolerance.

This little place is a gem. I was going to have the gluten free fried chicken, Wednesday special but we got there at 8pm and they were sold out. Our waiter suggested another dish, pork tenderloin. It was amazing! The combination of flavors was a delight because it was stuffed and wrapped in bacon, sitting on a bed of polenta with avocado etc. Truly wonderful for my taste buds. My husband had a burger and he said it was okay. So it’s better to order something that the chef can create with. Their menu doesn’t describe enough what goes into the dishes so ask. Also we shared (the pic shows half) the watermelon salad. Again a very creative combination of flavors that was delightful. I feel like they picked the best part of the watermelon to make it, (the center) in order for it to be perfect. The food was well worth the price as I don’t mind spending money on food that is excellent. The one down side is the incredible noise as the room was full of loud joyous people. I think they were so full of joy because of the food. I will definitely tolerate this noise to get this food! And last but not least, the service was excellent.

My dining companion and I had a lovely dinner at Paulette's before going to the Orpheum. The service was really top notch and our view from our table looking out at the river at sunset was lovely. For food – the shrimp and pasta dish. (She asked for extra shrimp - no fish) then I had the pork tenderloin. In order to make sure I did not get gluten, I did not have any sauce with my pork tenderloin. I'm sure it would've been top-notch that I've been able to eat it. Well, it was quite good and the tenderloin tasty, it was disappointing, not to be able to have any sauce. It was also disappointing that they had no dessert that a celiac could have., but my dining companion got my old favorite(back when I was eating wheat flour) the strawberry crêpe, and I think she fell in love. All in all, highly recommended. I want to go back for brunch soon.

The Venezuelan stall is my FAVORITE. The carne mechada (shredded beef) arepa is one of the best I've ever eaten (and I used to live in Miami). My husband likes to get the pabellón criollo plate (with the same meat, fried ripe plantains, rice, and black beans) and we share the empanadas. Everything you see here is gluten-free, too! But if you have celiac there is a cross contamination risk.

Kate Crook

Such a gem and always worth the wait! The flavors are incredible, they also have many gluten free options and take cross contamination seriously. The staff are incredibly attentive and provide exceptional service

My wife and I went for our anniversary. I thought this was fine dining but just believe it is upscale dining. We pulled up to no valet and an armed guard outside. The inside decor is nice but just doesn’t make you feel like fine dining. We had drinks, sautéed crab claws, filet, wedge salad, and lamb. The food was pretty good. We really like the filet and the crab claws, everything else was okay. The balsamic reduction came in a cup on the side of the lamb. In was like jelly and would adhere to the lamb, I believe there could be a better way to do this. Our server never introduced himself, never really spoke to us but was just like what can I get you. My wife is gluten free and his explanation of what they had on the menu was pretty disappointing. I just thought it would be better for the price you pay. The meal was over $200. My wife and I ended up back here with another couple after a manager reached out and apologized for the first time. He recommended the bar area due to it having a better atmosphere. He was right. It was a way better experience. Still not the best but better. I still do not recommend for fine dining.

This place is a gem! The service is always great, and the space is gorgeous. Lots of open room, plenty to choose from on the menu, including (naturally gluten-free) maracons!

The Cuban Platter was very good. The beans had flavor and did taste Cuban style. I made mine gluten free and vegan by substituting the meat for the brussel sprouts. I wish they would of subbed it without a $4 upcharge, but the waitress did advise there would be an upcharge. I did not take any stars off since unfortunately most places charge for subbing to make things vegan. My friend got the Cuban Platter too, but she got the pull pork with it. She also enjoyed her meal. We are both of Hispanic descent and we're both pleasantly surprised at how good the meal was.

Terrible service, very slow. Some dishes were missing but overall the food is good and there are gluten free options.

Falafel Platter comes with rice, hummus, and cucumber salad. It is a great quick lunch option that is pretty healthy. The falafel is gluten free and vegan. This platter comes with a pita that is not gluten free so I didn't eat it.

Denise Wood

My Granddaughter is gluten free and she really enjoyed the gluten free French toast. The wait staff were very friendly and helpful with her gluten allergy.
