Great gluten free options.

I chose this restaurant while I was in town specifically because I have celiac disease and they had items on their menu that were clearly labeled as gluten free. What I was able to eat was delicious, but their gluten free labelling on the menu is incredibly misleading. I asked our server if the tortilla chips (labelled gluten free) on the menu were fried in a fryer that also fried foods that contained gluten and was told they are. So not gluten free. I asked if their corn tortillas for the tacos were warmed on the same surface as their flour tortillas and was told they were. So they're not gluten free. This sounds like an insane distinction if you aren't familiar with celiac disease, but I have had tacos make me sick this way in the past. Our server asked the kitchen to warm them differently and it was fine. And again, my tacos were delicious. I appreciated that the server communicated with the kitchen to warm my tacos. But if I had trusted the menu (or I guess just ASKED if things were gluten free vs asking specifics about how items were made) I would have spent tonight very ill.

Tazza is my top pick in the Columbia area. You need to make a reservation, ideally a day or so in advance. Our table was ready at our reservation time. Our server was attentive without hovering and he was knowledgeable. I am Gluten Free and there are several items (appetizers, sides, main course) labeled as GF. I also do not drink alcohol and they had 3 mocktails on the menu. The food is delicious. Complex flavors, and combination which I either wouldn't have time or the ingredients to make at home. We don't go out to eat often, but I truly feel that it is always worth it to eat at Tazza. I always leave satisfied.

Cantina is always my go to restaurant especially in the city! The roasted chicken tacos are always my favorite! They have so many gluten free options too! The service at the bar or if you are sitting at a table is always amazing! The manager was very informative on higher shelf tequila and helped our group out tremendously! I will always recommended cantina! Can’t wait to visit again!

I have been to Coa twice now with my friends and Dan is a wonderful server. He always makes sure we are taken care of, that we are having a great time, and that everything comes out perfect! My friend has a gluten allergy and he always make sure that anything she orders is gluten free without us even asking! He is a wonderful guy all around and if you go to Coa, Dan is the Man!! Other than the excellent service, I am never disappointed by the amazing food they always have. I love their rice, dobladitas, and my partner fell in love with their off the menu Birria tacos. The drinks are also super well made and they pack a punch so watch out! All in all, Coa is a must if you live or are visiting the Columbia area.

Bourbon deserves 5 stars across the board! The ambiance was lovely..The food was great, and there is something for everyone- the menu has numerous vegetarian and gluten free options. But most of all the staff was amazing!! Christan our server was awesome and gave me an amazing recommendation (éttouffée was delicious).. and I truly don't have enough kind words for the manager Deborah!! We had a great conversation, and you could tell she takes pride in managing Bourbon and making sure every diner was happy and well taken care of. Next time I find myself in the area I will surely be back!
