Dedicated Gluten Free kitchen, and the food was delicious! Raspberry mojito was amazing. Alligator dip was so good with amazing baquette toast, hard to beleive it was gluten free, the texture of the baguette was amazing. The gumbo had perfect amount of spice. The chicken wings were the best. The fettucine had such great texture for a gluten free pasta, totally nailed it. Loved chatting with Chesa! The atmosphere, decor, music, waitstaff, food were all wonderful.
I am so happy we stopped here for dinner. The staff were knowledgeable and so kind to me when I told them of my gluten and dairy allergies. Service was amazing and the food was sublime. I missed eating Italian for fear of cross contamination but they reassured me pasta were cooked separately. What a lovely place! I will be revisiting when I'm back in town.
Edit: Forgot to add, my husband got an Amaretto sour and he said it was the BEST one he's had.
Fantastic food and service! We ordered through door dash, everything was great. The bad apple burger is fantastic, I had it on gluten free bun which was great, it was holding well and not crumbly. The fries were also fantastic, which is rare because fries don’t travel very well, I am sure they are even more amazing when eaten at the restaurant. We also had the fried cheese curds and the chocolate mousse, both of them were perfectly executed. I requested my gluten free burger to be marked on the notes and someone from staff called me on the phone to make sure that they understood my request correctly, I am grateful for the sensitivity. Hats off to the chefs back in the kitchen and thanks! Hopefully we can go and dine in too.
First issue was the lack of understanding of celiac. I get that my fiancée having a disease is our limitation but this restaurant was supposed to be good about it. We explained about how even cross contamination makes her sick and the 2nd thing we ordered was brought out and when we asked if it was fried (Brussel Sprouts) they said yes and we asked if it was a shared fryer and they said yes. So she couldn’t eat it. (When we already explained that she would get sick from cross contamination, this was a major oversight by the waiter). They also had very small portions of the pasta dishes and the prices were way higher than they should be given the quality of food being just okay. Really disappointed overall.
Happy to have visited the Chicago location after going to Seattle's earlier this year. What a great spot.. A so happy to realize that most is gluten free! Vegans and non vegans alike should check this place out.
I do NOT recommend for gluten allergies. They have an amazing menu. However, transitioning from no gluten allergy to allergy dining here post diagnosis they have super limited options and their Andros seasoning contains gluten! Why?! It’s not necessary.
Uvae is a gem. Love the happy hour oysters and bubbly. Some favorite dishes are the charcuterie board (the lavender honey!), brussel sprouts, cauliflower, scallops, shrimp + grits, chicken thigh... honestly we've liked everything! Cocktails are balanced and creative. Emma is a wonderful, personable server with top-notch wine recommendations, and was very accommodating to a gluten-free family member. I really appreciate that they have a few mocktails on the menu too. Chef Whitney is thoughtful, talented, and doing super cool things: last night we had a beet hummus plate with veggies and sesame tapioca crisps. It looked like an art piece and tasted like heaven; we were scraping our plates. The vibe is cozy and unpretentious. Go spend your money here!
Avli brunch never misses, my boyfriend and I have become regulars. Wait staff is amazing, Dimitri and Alekos always take great care of us. Recommend the dip trio and breakfast sandwich! Also has gluten free pita
The miso soup was great and started the meal off on a high. Sadly the sushi course was disappointing. The fish was mediocre at best (saba and medai), uni was bland, avocado in my roll was not ripe. Too much rice on the nigiri and overcooked.
Tea was tasty and refilled regularly. They had gluten-free soy and were communicative about gluten in dishes. Service was great.
Sadly it was overpriced for the quality of the food being served. Won’t be going back.
Great spot — highly recommend!
Beautiful decor and ambiance with solid drinks and food to match.
What we ordered:
Whipped feta with truffle honey — delicious
Feta pistachio pesto
Gluten-free spiced beluga lentils
Drinks were great too. If you’re into something on the sweeter side, try the Lavender Knees Bees.
All around, 10/10
More than half the menu is gluten free. They use separate fryers and prep space for the gluten free items. Everything is vegan. Soy free options too. Very yummy!!
This was one of my best experiences in Chicago, the food is awesome, the waiter was super kind and helpful when explaining the gluten free options and the vibes and music are amazing. Highly recommended if you are around the River North area

Veggie staple! I love the new menu changes! I have been eating here for at least 13 years and I am thrilled to have newer options. Love all the gluten free options now too, especially that new cheesecake. So nice to see a little menu revamp while keeping the favs. Well done! - also their delivery travels/holds up a lot better than most, so that's a plus.
Went for lunch the other day. Amazing gluten free menu and staff so friendly. We arrived last hour they were open and I didn't feel rushed at all. Prices great and food was delicious!
The first thing you're going to notice when you walk into this business is the aroma, it is so wonderful, it smells absolutely incredible in here! The next thing you're going to notice is how easy the menu is. It looks effortless, even though it was obviously curated over time with great care and precision. There are options for literally everyone. The gluten-free offerings are extensive! They are incredibly careful and gracious. If you have a food allergy, the staff is very well informed about which are the safe foods and which are not. If you are celiac, they did not make us feel in any way like an inconvenience or a problem. The food here is absolutely incredible, as are the chai drinks. We recommend this place all the time! Really hoping that this place is always here, because they never, ever disappoint.
The restaurant itself is beautiful and great for pictures, my friends food was good, but I ordered the avocado toast and asked for the salsa on the side and it’s still came out smothered in onions so be aware of that if you hate onions like I do. Also they could’ve been more gluten free friendly.
So grateful that they have various gluten free options on the menu. Ended up with Pad Thai tofu. It was missing something & I couldn’t place it but yet still pretty tasty. I’ll be back. Loved the live jazz band that was there the time before this.
Our waitress Emily was an angel ! Took my gluten allergy into consideration and provided great recommendations. I feel she was often described as a pleasure to have in class. Will be coming back soon!
We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience at Ceres'. Everything we ordered was beautifully presented, absolutely delicious and very satisfying. Our server, Matthew, could not have been more of a pleasure and enhanced our evening all the more. Excellent options for vegans and vegetarians, as for gluten free.
How to sum it up, let's say I will back in September I hope as I was blown away with their special and they even had great gluten free pasta. For two people you won't break over 50$ which is very surprising. This is by far best pasta I've had since I last visited chicago.
No doubts they have a great outdoor seating but my little one is messy haha
Thank you for your great food please keep it up
Great experience! I eat gluten free for an allergy/celiac reasons, and the food here was great. I told the waiter I had an allergy, and he assured me that they could avoid cross contamination during preparation if I needed it, which i did need. I am so grateful, as I know sushi can sometimes not be done gluten free and I felt very safe and happy here! Thank you so much !

I'd heard mixed reviews about Cabra, but I love Lazybird/Cira so I decided to make my way. Y'all... GO. I've eaten so much Peruvian food in Chicago and Cabra is right up there. The food tastes like the actual food in Peru, the rooftop venue is stunning, and the staff is very friend (including our lovely waiter Leo. Pay him more!!!!) The bass ceviche and avocado dip were the stars for me. The yuca fries were also good, and I was very impressed by the tailored gluten-free and vegetarian menus (yes, two additional menus!). I had the Just a Chill Guy cocktail which was delicious. Happy to have completed the Hoxton trifecta-- all strong spaces for food and entertainment. I'll be returning!
Husband and I are from Florida and make it a point to visit each trip to Chicago. Easy access from the city on the red linr. He has celiac disease and has not had any problems. We love the variety and quality of the dishes. The service has always been excellent. Thoroughly enjoy our visits to Tapas Valencia!
I absolutely love Mas Alla del Sol! Not only do they have amazing food and drink options, but they have very friendly staff as well.
The food may be a bit pricy compared to other Mexican/Latino restaurants but it's worth it.
Additionally, as someone with Celiac, I have personally never gotten sick from eating there. I highly recommend the tortilla soup and salsa verde!
Always a great energy & environment. Their patio on a nice day is awesome. I’ve had dinner here multiple times and it’s always great. We recently had brunch and it was delicious. They have limited vegetarian/gluten free options but are willing to omit ingredients when needed.
Outstanding food, service, ambience. And the prices are extremely reasonable relative to other choices. The attentiveness of the staff rivals Michelin starred restaurants. The pasta was gluten free and fabulously delicious.
I don't quite understand how, but every time we come back here, it's better than the last. Go immediately.
Many different types of dishes, and around half of them are gluten free.
We enjoyed the cocktails and food. The waiter was attentive and careful to help us select gluten-free and dairy-free items. Great location, close to high-end shopping and several hotels. Music volume was nice and allowed for conversation. They have coat check at the front when we we’re greeted. We were seated immediately.
I often come here for lunch. The lunch specials are really tasty. They offer sushi specials with raw and cooked options. Also cooked meals like pad Thai and basil chicken. I enjoy the Thai iced tea. They are very welcoming to solo diners, which is much appreciated. I recommend the taro custard for dessert. I also have the ramen here, which they will make with rice noodles for gluten-free diners.
