Gabriele Phillips

Lots of gluten free options!

I went here with two girlfriends and sat at the bar. We order the beans, the hummus with arugula and prosciutto and a gluten free crust pizza. All of it was spectacular. The pizza crust was a think crust - but texture and flavor were spot on! The bean dish was out of this world and the sauce was excellent. Cocktails were also good and service impeccable. Highly recommend.

Jordan Tessler

Amazing mexi food! The tacos were awesome and basically everything on the menu (besides dessert) is gluten free. We got a bunch of tacos to try and the guac, which was so flavorful and a decent portion size. Pork belly taco was the best imo, also so fun to try the fried fish (I was told it’s fried in rice flour/batter). Watermelon marg was delicious. They have outdoor seating, but it’s not the nicest views (street/parking lot) and indoors is a nice atmosphere, so I’d recommend going inside

Lewis Beynon

Fantastic spot for interesting, creative food without breaking the bank. 1 drink and enough food we all left satisfied was only 120 bucks total for a table of 4. Our servers were fantastic and the kitchen and serving staff were very accommodating of my girlfriend's celiac concerns. Absolutely fantastic.

Amber Easterling

Homemade GF pasta and mozzarella sticks!!! Yes please!! My sister and I both have celiac and our waiter put us at ease right away, letting us know that the gluten-free food was prepared in a separate area. I did have my 10 year old niece with me. She was not as appreciative of the menu. There were not many options for her as a child.

Amber Easterling

Always a great option for gluten-free Asian food! All GF options are listed on the menu! We had the chicken lettuce wraps, as well as the chicken and broccoli! It was delicious!

Langley B

Some good options! Definitely caters towards allergies. Pancake wasn’t my favorite but everything else was good! Wait time was a lil crazy but great atmosphere! Would def recommend!

Lorna Vaughen

Dedicated to gluten free. The afternoon tea set was just like when I went to London (before I had been diagnosed with celiac). Amazing! Expensive, but so so fun.

Raena Woods

Great selection of gluten free treats. I was thrilled how much care the server took and my meal even had a little toothpick that said gluten free. So reassuring!

Mike K

Delicious! Gluten free options! Great service!

Kaitlin Kobrenski

All but one item on their menu can be made gluten free. All fryers are dedicated GF. Great meal!

brian smith

Food was all excellent, staff was great, gluten free kitchen. We will definitely be back!!

Large, light and airy (think windows, wicker & large potted plants in an old factory building). However, there was no greeter; we sat at the counter and were ignored. Finally figured out we had to order around the corner at the register. The associate (they were all young) answered the phone while we were ordering. Very rude. We sat at a table and waited for our drinks (first) and sandwiches (a somewhat lengthy second) to be delivered. Gluten-free sandwiches were a disappointment--$10 & $11 for a BLT and a cheese & egg served on small sandwich-sized bread. Large drinks (the size of a Dunkin' medium) were $5 @. Neither of us will ever return. (P.S. Parking is horrendous. We nabbed a spot in the adjacent small lot but we would not have walked over from the municipal garage for the Gallagher Terminal.)

I think we caught them on an off day. While the place is beautiful and the staff is very friendly, I just didn’t meet expectations. We went for bottomless Sunday brunch during what was supposed to be a special “Dia de Los Muertos festivities” week. They did have a beautiful ofrenda at the entrance. Other than that, all we got was a 50 min wait for food to come out. Some small plates we ordered never came, others were missing ingredients/toppings, one we started eating, no one checked if we needed more drinks. Now they did ask about and accommodate a gluten allergy. I greatly appreciate that. Would have been even better if it was marked on the menu. All in all, the people were nice and the food was very good, but on this day, when it wasn’t packed, we waited a long time for nothing all that special.

Really friendly staff, great pizza, amazing gluten free pizza and fun place overall

Emily Aldous

Food was delicious, server was kind and very accommodating of my friend who has celiac! She even marked up the menu with all the foods that she could and couldn’t eat to make it easier for her. We both got paellas and oh my god the portion is HUGE so if you are going with another person make sure to share it btw the two of you. Great dinner spot in the city

Paul Cannon

The veal and eggplant parm was AMAZING. These guys rival Mother Wolf in Vegas and have more gluten free options. This place is top notch!

Health Enthusiast

Candlepin is $30/5 pers/hr Pizza are $16-$26+tax, salad is the only other option but there is gluten free dough. They natural and organic ingredients and sodas. Environment is modern and cute. Parking is pretty bad. 2h free until 8pm, then unlimited. There's a gym in the same block and a fancy parking garage.

Sydney Erickson

A dedicated gluten free fryer, gluten free beer, this place is amazing! Theres tons of seating and the service was good, I’d go back for the gf fried chicken sandwich.

Jenny

The staff is very knowledgeable about which items on the menu are gluten free. I recommend the curried goat stew, which is very nice. The staff is friendly, despite being in a busy environment on a Saturday night. The drinks are good and the drink menu has a nice variety.

Olivia Hart-Paulson

Take allergies very seriously and most of their menu can be gluten free with dedicated stations for gluten allergies

Jason Knowlton

Matthew Fanning

Two guys working on Sunday afternoon. We walked in to a few folks at the bar and an empty set of tables. Didn’t look promising. We were pleasantly surprised from start to finish. The after show rush filled up the place in 20 minutes and the place got busy! The guys were humping, but did a great job taking care of everyone we saw in the place, despite looking short handed. Food was all good, solid pub fare. North shore roast beef took me back to Ipswich. The number of gluten free options was awesome to see.

Jason Knowlton

Dr Lynn KeenRocha

Excellent gluten-free options

Michael Lucey

Very chill, local vibes spot with a vast menu of options for everyone. Everything that I have ordered is great…loaded fries with bacon, deep fried pickles, crab cakes, baked cod, mozzarella sticks, pulled pork tacos, all good! Probably the best Gluten Free meals that I have eaten on the mid Cape! Plus for all you non drinkers, like me, they have top notch zero proof mock-tails. Service is outstanding and the food is always consistently good. Just go. Hang out, order a lot. Enjoy!

Melanie Thomson

We celebrated my best friends birthday last night and burtons was very accommodating! It is her favorite place especially because of her gluten allergy and they always are on point with making their dishes safe for her to eat. Thank you burtons for allowing us to stay past your closing time. We’ll be back.

I can't rave enough about Spoke, nor could I possibly count the number of times I've enjoyed their incredible food, drinks, and hospitality. This is our special occasion place *and* our neighborhood place (I admit it's appropriately a little expensive, so it's slightly more on the special occasion side), and it's the place where we know we're going to regularly be blown away. We've brought friends from out of town, and each time they've marveled at the experience. On occasion there might be a dish that we might not love as much as the others, but I appreciate that the chefs are always pushing boundaries and being creative. Also, for such a thoughtful and yet small menu, there are great options for vegetarians, gluten-free folks, and vegans. (I brought a friend from London who can't eat gluten and she was in seventh heaven.) I'm almost reluctant to tell you how much I love it because I want to be able to get in, but I also want them to always be around!

Stacy Wilson

If your gluten free this place is it!! I’m talking best food I’ve had in a long time! The staff was amazing and super personable. The atmosphere was great not too loud but definitely busy. Even so we got our food within a decent time and everything was fresh and hot. Did I mention there were so many gluten free options!! Ive been here before and will definitely keep returning!

Nicole B

There are gluten free options but the quality swings significantly. They don’t have a separate fryer so fries are off the list

Liz Purvis

Dedicated GF Fryer and amazing cornflake crusted Chicken Tenders! So delicious and everything is brought out by the manager with an allergy pick in it. This Celiac recommends~ Definitely enjoy it on your next outing 💚

veena manjunath

We had such an amazing experience here during our visit to Boston! My son is a celiac and Jamie, the manager was just so amazing and understanding. The whole staff was so careful, took such good care of us and made sure all the food was gluten free. The food was absolutely delicious and so flavorful. We loved the place so much, we came back again! Highly recommend!

P West

Had lunch there because they have great gluten-free options. I got the fish and chips and hubby got the shrimp and crab cake combo. They were both delicious. We thought we had room for dessert and while the key lime pie and Boston Cream cake were also very good, we were too full to finish them. We came in contact with several employees and each one was cheerful and helpful.

One of the best places to go if you have a gluten allergy. They are super well trained in allergy stuff and incredibly accomodating. Chicken sandwich and Louisiana pasta are my two faves.

christina desantis

The food is always fresh and they have plenty of gluten free options for my husband

Sydney Erickson

They do have gluten free pasta which is nice, but the sauce wasn’t very good, not worth the price.

Joanne Sumner

Most of menu is gluten free and dairy free. Gluten free buns available. Dedicated frier. Knowledgeable staff.

I was so excited to try food from a place that's mostly gluten free, but holy shit this place wasn't even mid. I got lukewarm sweet n creamy something on an arepa with lettuce. And my boyfriend's dish had wicked good steak BUT it was slathered in A1 sauce which should be a crime. Panela has a mandatory 18% gratuity, which I'm fine with. But we saw our waitress twice; once to order and once to get the check. Now I'm out 40 bucks and have a tummy ache :(

karen morales

Will start by saying my experience is with ordering online and take-out. Ordering was quick and easy. I ordered a gluten free pizza (as a celiac) and can say this was one tasty gluten free pizza. I also did not get any reaction which is the cherry on top. The price was fine for me it was about 18 bucks (charge of $4 to sub the dough) but that’s the gluten free life. Would order again and again. For reference I got the not just a roni pizza. The staff was also very nice.

Rebecca Trailor

I have been coming here for years, in both MA and CT, and have never had a bad experience. They were especially great this past time when a member of our party was celiac. When we arrived to the restaurant the menus were already prepared for us, highlighting our GF options, and the manager constantly helped us feel comfortable that everything was cooked separately and safely. Great people, great bivibes

craig moran

My go to spot for New Year’s Eve. Always great gluten free options. Drive 35 minutes just for the food! Worth the trip every time

Leslie Carrio

Brought a large party in after my daughter's graduation. Service was fantastic, chef very willing to customize dishes, plus lots of options for our gluten-free guest. Well done!

john bodkin

To go order for my parents, they loved it. Always great. Ty. Gluten free options, dedicated gluten free fryer 🤘. Thank you Berkowitz (My lil bro met his wife working at legal harborside years ago ) Really great organization.

Brett Murphy Hunt

The atmosphere is nice, but the food is very very average. The Bangkok noodles and octopus were overcharred, such that none of the other flavor notes came through almost at all. An extra star for gluten free consciousness. But it was a two star experience in terms of the culinary side. And very pricey for tapas. If you end up here with a group of friends, it won’t be the worst thing, but don’t waste a date night.

Nicholas Bryant

Normally Tempo is a nice location with good food and service. Worthy of 4 stars maybe better on some nights when they update their menu, as they frequently do, with creative and fun new dishes. Unfortunately my wife and I ordered take out deserts right before I writing this review and as you can see from the picture their idea of coffee creme brulee is unacceptable. For $10 I expect it to have a shape at the least. Gluten Free friendly place though. Bonus points for that.

Wonderful Food, Wonderful Customer Service Davio’s is a great place for a special meal, especially if one (like me) is allergic to wheat. They have wonderful gluten-free options while satisfying that steak-house craving. The soups and salads are superb, the special appetizers are excellent (I had the glute-free lobster gnocchi one night, and the lollipop lamb chops another), and the mains never let us down (steak, and cod on risotto). Also the cocktails are wonderful - I especially like that they have Keel Vodka available for martini’s. Keel is a local vodka with a lower alcohol, which is nice if one wants wine with dinner. And, most importantly, the customer service is great. A cautionary tale for all who enjoy dining out - if you are not happy with a meal or service - let the management know via a simple talk, a call, or an email. We went to dinner on a Sunday and our main took over 2 hours to arrive at our table, which we promptly had packed to take home (we were exhausted and no longer hungry). We paid our check (with a healthy tip, because it was not fault of the waitstaff), and left. I wrote to the management then next day, with a copy of my receipt, and an explaining the situation. I asked for nothing in return other than a response. I like Davio's, and I’m happy they are doing well, but I want to assure that my future meals are excellent even if it’s a busy night. I mistakenly assumed the glitch was that the kitchen could not keep up with individual diners as well as larger groups in scheduled events. I received a prompt response to my email and spoke to the general manager who told me that actually a lot of staff had called in sick with the flu/allergies that day. Even so, she acknowledged the lack of attention we received - with such delays, someone in management should have come to the individual tables to offer an explanation. She invited us back to make things right. We did return a few days later and had a wonderful meal. Obviously she’d spoken to the staff - as all were very attentive. And she comp'd us a few items off our meal, as a thank you for reaching out. The lesson: Never assume and never write a bad review before telling management about your concerns - it’s the kind thing to do, and the right thing to do. We will be back at Davio’s soon - the rose wine flights are a nice summer treat.

As you know, I don't do food photos as you know. It comes on a plate most times, and Legal.Seafood in Dedham really knocked it out of the park in that category. I might add a Pic from outside. Excellent location, btw! All kinds of shopping. I would suggest getting on your device and adding a reservation. It's pretty busy. Nathan was our server. He was well-versed and enthusiastic about Legal Seafood's attentiveness to the nation's recent rash of food allergies. The Manager as well, I didn't get her name, was as well. Essentially, if you are looking for a place in SW Boston where you can safely get a very decent meal even totally gluten free, this is the place. Sevice: excellent On to the food: great variety of Seafood as one would think. Very fresh, very well prepared, and plated. This was our first Legal Seafood, and we were exceptionally pleased. We found the prices very reasonable, and certainly worth the time (quick service in any event). But I would suggest going on your device and hooking yourself up with a reservation. It's easy enough. Having said that, enjoy.
