Put name on waitlist before going it definitely gets busy. We ended up sitting at the bar had Becca as our bartender. It was so nice we came back the next day. We had gluten free egg scramble with fruit. Cinnamon French toast and shrimp and grits . Blackberry smash and cold vanilla brew with almond milk.

Incredible menu with gluten-free options. The owner has gluten allergies and therefore has an entire kitchen designated for gluten-free diets. I’m telling you, their pizza and all their bread options are incredible. Even the gluten-free stuff is bomb. Don’t forget to try that pasta. We love brunch lunch dinner and snacks. You will not be disappointed.

Delicious and very good for gluten free peeps.

My boyfriend and I are both celiac. We went back three times on our week long trip to have the gluten free pizza and Cloud 9 wings. Nef is the best bartender and even showed us the ingredient list for the pizza dough incase it interfered with another allergy of mine

Was in town last week and had dinner at Blanco Cucina for the party of nine. I was a little under the weather but honestly, the food was very nice. The atmosphere was good and our server Elias was exceptional. Enjoyed having him help us pick our meals and make gluten-free suggestions.

Made reservations.it was not too busy.service was wonderful.celiac friendly . We had Frenched chicken breast very strong on the ancho glazed but chicken cooked perfectly. Grilled filet mignonette was overcooked but more because I said medium instead of medium rare.

Had the chance to go last Thursday while in town for a wedding and chose to sit at the Chef’s Counter either my girlfriend. Outstanding experience and choice, great service and server was very good about accommodating my girlfriend’s gluten allergy. Even more impressive was the food, some truly just well done dishes. One of the Chef’s, JD, that we met was awesome and helped give recommendations on fan favorites from their new menu. Check out that pork ribeye and s’mores dessert especially, out of this world. Would travel back to Nashville just to have dinner here again!

An invite from our friend @thetipjarnash took us to @sundanewasian for one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in Nashville. Its name is a nod to the Southeast Asian continental shelf underlying the region inspiring the myriad of flavors highlighted by the array of cuisine from founder @billydec and executive chef @mike_sunda From Dim Sum to sushi rolls, main courses and “new Asian creations,” there is truly something on the menu for everyone. As always, we’ve posted a guide to our “reel” menu below in case you want to say, “I want what they had” (and we’re pretty sure you will.) 🍹: Grass Tiger & Strawberry Fields 🍣: Signature Crispy Rice {Wagyu & Spicy Tuna} 🥗: Crispy Brussels Sprouts 🍱: Sweet Potato Caterpillar & Island Maki 🐟: Tom Yum Sea Bass 🥮: Bibingka* Also of note: Kevin our waiter was incredibly kind and knowledgeable - he elevated the entire dining experience and we’d definitely recommend requesting seating in his section. Also a huge thanks to Matt for his hospitality and attention. Thank you Sunda for a top-notch experience from food to service, start to finish. *Bibingka was an off-menu dessert item that you absolutely should ask for. If you happen to have a gluten sensitivity, bonus points that this cake is made with rice flour! In fact, many items on the menu are friendly to dairy, gluten and other allergies or sensitivities. Also of note, most of their cocktails can be served as mocktails without sacrificing any flavor so you can still drink decadently without imbibing!

has great gluten free options and they were super understanding about my celiac disease and ensured there was no cross contract.

Great catering service! Chauhan catered a Christmas party for our company (upwards of 130 people) and it went off without a hitch! Kelly and her team were on time and set up was quick and efficient. Some of our group didn't specify allergies ahead of time and I had to call her three times after they'd left to check ingredients. She patiently and graciously called the chef multiple times to verify ingredients for us. They were also very responsive and touched base with us several times before the event to ensure nothing was missed, as well as checked in afterwards for feedback. The food was incredible and they can easily accommodate vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free needs. We'll certainly be using them again!

Meghan Nash

One of my new favorite restaurants!! Our server (Emma) was outstanding and the food was really great! I have a gluten allergy and there were many choices for me to choose from. 10/10

Eric Michaud

This place had great service and very good atmosphere. We were on the patio a group of 12. This is higher end and designed for sharing. The portion sizes were bigger than they said (tri tip easily feed 4 of us). You get what you pay for, it was high quality and great tasting food, and priced accordingly. Also has a great whiskey collection and one of the best gluten free menus.

If you’re in Nashville and need a place with fantastic gluten-free options, Two Hands Nashville should be at the top of your list! As someone with gluten sensitivity, finding a spot that offers not just safe but delicious gluten-free dishes can be a challenge—but Two Hands totally delivers. First of all, the menu is full of mouth-watering choices that cater to various dietary needs, and their gluten-free options are top-notch. I tried the gluten-free Korean fried chicken, and wow, it was crispy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Honestly, you wouldn't even guess it was gluten-free! The seasoning was on point, and the texture was just as satisfying as any gluten-filled dish. Their gluten-free bowls and rice-based dishes are also great choices for anyone looking for a wholesome meal that’s both filling and full of flavor. The ingredients feel fresh, and everything is thoughtfully prepared with plenty of options for customization. What really sets Two Hands apart is how they ensure cross-contamination isn’t an issue, which is super important for those with celiac disease or severe gluten intolerance. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and takes great care to make sure the dishes are made properly, which gives me a lot of confidence when dining here. The atmosphere is lively and friendly, perfect for a laid-back meal with friends or even a solo visit. Whether you're gluten-free or just looking for a great meal, Two Hands Nashville is definitely worth checking out. Delicious, fresh, and full of flavor—what more could you ask for?

<3 This is the best Mexican Restaurant in Tennessee. Everything tastes legit Mexican. Most things in the menu are gluten-free. Ambiance is good (dim lighting, not loud music). Perfect for a date night. Service was great! The chef is from Acapulco and came out of the kitchen to personally ask about our experience. Avocado salsa and all ingredients were fresh. LOVED IT! ~ GF

Taylor G

Cute place. Some gluten free options

Lisa Mayberry

Many gluten-free options as shared plates, entrée, and dessert. I had a wonderful birthday dinner here with the topper being the gluten-free cherry cheesecake.

Lauren Klipp

Besides the food and margaritas being absolutely amazing, we were in awe of the amazing staff. Our server Jeff was beyond kind, explained the menu to us, helped us with gluten free and nut free options, and had fun with us! Overall experience was 10/10 and will absolutely be going back. If you have a 6+ people the shareable meal option was more than enough food and delicious.

Liz Abrams

Becky was our waitress and she was fantastic. Lots of gluten-free options and they were very careful about making sure we were safe to eat. Wonderful place to eat.

Had the most amazing lunch at the Omi Hotel! They had a dedicated fryer for gluten free buffalo wings, tots and fries and gluten free buns for the burgers as well!!

Julia

Great place! Fantastic menu, great for gluten free choices. Prices match the quality and the service was great. Definitely give this place a visit.

Daniel Batten

Incredible food. Helpful waitstaff. Pleasant, fun atmosphere. My girlfriend is gluten free and tries to limit dairy. It was easy to have a great GF meal, and their various sheep and goat milk/cheese dishes made it super easy to go low lactose, too. She’s very sensitive and says this is the best dinner she’s had in years. The portions were appropriate for the richness of the food, and we tried almost everything on the GF menu and both left satisfied (and pleasantly surprised by the bill). The pastel de chocolate was a delightful dessert, too.

Dana Dombrowski

Been waiting a long time for Upbeet to open, and it was worth the wait. Best fast healthy in Nashville. The whole restaurant is gluten free and almost everything is organic. The quality of the ingredients is top notch but most of all, everything tastes incredible. Salads, warm bowls, smoothies and smoothies bowls.. so much to choose from. RUN don’t walk to Upbeet!

V P

Very cute place, lovely decor and absolutely loved that the menu had a gluten free dessert!

Jack M

Amazing food and amazing service. Came here for my wife’s and my anniversary. Couldn’t have been happier with the experience. They were careful to explain all of the options and include my gluten allergy in my meal planning for the evening.

Bethaney Moore

everything was awesome! our server Emma was so kind and accommodating, especially with being gluten free! great cocktails, great food, great service. get the street corn

Braydon Shanklin

Great flavors, high quality ice cream. Don’t go expecting huge portions at a decent price. It is expensive and the size is fairly small. Be economical about it and split a $9 between two of you, instead of 2 people getting their own ($7 each) for the same amount of ice cream. That’s free advice - you’re welcome. But the flavors are cool and I LOVE that they have gluten free flavors that usually can’t have (ie cookie butter).
