Early dinner on a weekday. Restaurant was largely empty but began to fill up after we finished our meal. Really nice seating and bar area. Hostess was friendly and helpful. Service was very good and she was able to provide a lot of information regarding the gluten free menu items. The gluten free menu is pretty extensive which was great! Had the cheese steak spring rolls which were absolutely delicious! Crab cake and fish sandwich were enjoyable. Dessert was upside down pineapple cake which we really liked as well. Drinks were also made well - we had the espresso martini which we would definitely order again! The only issue we encountered was the bathroom soap dispenser was broken so we couldn't wash our hands. That was a little frustrating but they helped resolve the situation. I would definitely return again to try more menu items!

Amazing restaurant with a different menu for gluten free, they are super careful with any type of allergies. the food is delicious I 100% recommend it

Amethyst Smith

They were stellar from the moment we walked in. They had my mind at ease immediately assuring me they don’t even bring gluten into the building. The food was amazing it felt like a 5 star dining experience. The whole menu being gluten free and without worries of cross contamination it was a fantastic experience with food and service. I will be returning for all of my events worth celebrating. Not to mention a full side menu of mocktails 😊

Noah Steege

Not Celiac safe. Went there for lunch yesterday and my wife got glutened by cross contamination.

Scott Coker

Excellent food and a lot of Gluten free options.

Came here on Valentine’s Day. My server Lexi made sure my meals would be shellfish and gluten free. Also love how many gluten free options there are too. I had the devils pass dip which was so flavorful and had the cheeseburger which was good too. Also tried the chocolate decadence which is gluten free too, very rich chocolate flavor

Michelle Marcet

BEST options for gluten free and dairy free. Sam the sever was very respectful of my allergies and it was truly appreciated.

Elenwin L

They have Gluten Free fried chicken and also GF Fish & Chips. What more can I say? Yum!

Ariane Volk

Delicious Thai street food & all the classics. Also high end cocktails. Highly recommend! Excellent gluten free options, as well as vegetarian options, and clearly marked.

Lora Davis

Several gluten free options. Delicious

Sandy Hinden

Great flexible eating offering lots of gluten free options. Turkey burger was dry but flavorful. Glazed salmon was fantastic. Pork buns were rich, smokey, spiced and delicious.

Hagar Sivan

The food was very tasty. However, I have celiac and despite ordering a gluten free dish and informing the waiter of my allergy, I got sick and believe my food had some cross contamination.

Don Houpt

Love us some Bartaco! Wonderful attentive staff, great drinks, and great food. Had their roasted duck and sesame ribeye taco's for lunch. Loved it so much I went back for dinner; got chicken tortilla soup, and the pork belly and roasted duck tacos. Best damn taco's outside of Texas... Oh, and the reposado margarita's are frickin' awesome. Yes, they have strict gluten-free options as well, one of our guests has celiac disease so that is a big concern.

Sheena Bee

Wonderful experience. They were pretty busy, and a storm was coming in, so they were in the process of moving outside parties to inside tables. Even with all of that, wait time was 10 minutes. We decided to sit at the bar. We were thrilled to see they had so many gluten-free options. I had the shrimp and crab pasta without any reaction. My fiance had the bacon, egg, and cheddar smash burger and was in pain 😢 The service and experience overall was nice. Next time, we will verify they have a dedicated space to cook. Pretty sure he was Cross contaminated.

Kate

Great alternative brunch spot! Excellent GF waffles (both sweet and savory), but GF protein choices are limited. This spot consistently makes a kick ass cup of coffee.

I had dinner at True Food and it was excellent. Lots of menu variety for gluten free and vegan individuals. Our meatloaf (non gluten free) and burger were tasty, prepared exactly the way we requested. The service and ambience was outstanding. When you go, ask for Fernanda to be your waitress. She’s very customer oriented and kind. Emerson the Manager brought out our food and was very professional and helpful. True Food is a great place to eat!

Tyra Drouillard

The food is always delicious and the service is great! I love that they have so many gluten free options!

Well, here is my honest review. When we walked in, there were three employees behind the stand. One was busy on the phone and the other two were just standing around and giggling. We stood there for about a minute and no one acknowledged us. I literally turned around and opened the door and said “I guess they are closed.” (Nigel - you can actually check the camera because it’s a great feedback/teaching moment to your staff.) The two girls still said nothing to us. We stayed because of your Gluten Free options. We got sat and we waited. Then, we waited some more. Then, we flagged down a passing server and inquired where ours was. She told us that she would check. A few moments later, someone appeared at the table. Our server Talina was a bag full of sunshine… NOT. She was mediocre at best. While waiting for our food, we were subjected to the inappropriate music being blasted from the kitchen. (We sat in the booth right in front of the kitchen expo.) Speaking of food, I asked for the pasta with chicken; no mushrooms but substitute broccoli. I was charged $3 for a few measly pieces of it but hey, its 2024. The food overall was very, very good. However, due to the lack of hospitality and pleasant atmosphere, it was a fail in my book. *Bonus tidbit, I called from my seat asking if Nigel was in tonight. They answered “no” to which I replied, it’s clearly evident.

Michael Iachini

This place was amazing for our food allergies, and the food was yummy! We had a whole group of people with gluten allergies and one person with both gluten and dairy allergies. The server, Pemba, was awesome! He brought out a photo of the ingredients of their boba so we could check to make sure it's dairy free (it is!), and he was super careful about all of our allergies. Good food, great service! Definitely will return.

Shannon Henley

Allie was our waitress and she was amazing!!!! Made the experience enjoyable and the gluten free options were great!

Melinda Mero

My husband I went here for lunch and it was good I got the the alpine chicken on gf bun and it all tasted so delicious. The bun was it tasted good unlike other places. I felt comfortable that it would be made with caution and it was i got see them cook and handle food where we were seated.

Bella Youssef

A little loud, but phenomenal spot. Tons of gluten free options. Fast service and extremely affordable. The app to order makes splitting checks way less awkward. I recommend if you are ordering for you and your partner, sit next to them if you are in a group. It makes it way easier to know what’s yours.

Stacey Smith

Wonderful dining experience! My husband is gluten free and we were so pleased with the number of gluten free options. And the cocktails were amazing!

Rhys James

Great food, Alex was amazing at her job. Amazing for gluten free / coeliac-friendly food.

Corey

Worth the title of best restaurant in Richmond. This meal did NOT disappoint. I can’t eat gluten and was told the Chef has celiac and that’s why so many items on the menu cater to that. Amazing service by Drew!!. I wish I lived closer and I would eat here weekly! Get the squash appetizer 🥰

Jordan M

Excellent food. Excellent and helpfull wait staff (Odaliz was our server). They had some tasty options that work for gluten free needs.

Leta Sharkey

1st time and loved gluten free pizza!

Anthony Monioudis

Tasty meals with really good service. Super attentive to gluten issues, so this place should be on every celiac radar.

Ashley Williams

From a Celiac's perspective, we couldn't have been happier. The GF options were plentiful and the wait staff knew about cross-contamination without having to ask. The gluten eaters seemed to really enjoy their food, too

Zoé Tkaczyk

Great gluten free options and so delicious. Tee was our waiter and absolutely killed it!!

Lisa Caskey

The staff is very knowledgeable about celiac and took their time to explain which foods were gluten free.

Joseph Dondlinger

Great place to grab a burger and drink. Super friendly staff were great with accommodating gluten free dining.

Jorge Juarez

Went for Easter brunch. Service was attentive, food was great and reasonably priced for a fancy buffet. Would love at least one dairy-free and gluten-free option for dessert. Will definitely go back!!

Anne DeSimone

Tasty food in a lovely space. The service was very fast and attentive. There are many gluten free options(be sure to let your server know you want the GFO) All our food was delicious and the serving size was generous. It’s pricier than your everyday take out, but this restaurant has wonderful quality. Can’t wait to return to Peter Chang’s!

kelsey McPherson

We love this place. Every time we visit the waiter asks about dietary restrictions and the chef marks up the menu notating what I can eat(Celiac) and what my son can eat(dairy free). They have great seasonal options, my husband and I love coming here for date night because of how loud and crowded this place gets it is hard to get our stroller in even though our toddler LOVES this place. The cocktails here are delicious and we have fun trying something new and different every time.

Carly Jannone

Great at accommodating gluten allergies

Brandi Breslin

Excellent food and service in this cozy little spot that we just happened to find en route to the beach. We choose this place over a few similar looking ones on the block because they had a variety of menu items marked as gluten free and/or vegetarian. My GF hubby was delighted by the option for a pizza. My son and I split a daily special pizza and ordered a taco each - everything was tasty and original, house made (no frozen food truck stuff that are the same mediocre items everywhere). Drink menu was enticing too, and their daily/weekly specials made me want to come back even though I don't live in the area. Highly recommend, and I'll be planning to visit anytime I'm back in the area.

R S

We went here with friends and neither of us had ever been. The menu is diverse and it is a well marked menu that identifies allergies and vegan options. Being celiac, I was very thankful for the many gluten free options. This is a great addition to Staunton and I’m so thankful we finally tried this place. We will be back!

Amanda Brannan

Wanted to give Matt and his team on Friday night a shoutout. Matt, you are a true example of what the hospitality industry is all about. As a previous restaurant manager and with a great understanding of the challenge to find great people to stay in the industry right now, I'm thankful you are one of the passionate people still in the industry and who shines a light and positive example on to the rest of your team. Keep up the great work! I am gluten free and was hesitant about getting the pizza due to cross contamination. Matt walked through the process with me of what the staff does to ensure It is safe. Thank you for taking dietary restrictions seriously.

Thomas & Elyse West-Bates

Beautiful views, top-notch service and delicious food! Wide variety of gluten-free options and servers were very knowledgeable.

Kayla Gioia

The gluten free pizza was SOO good 10/10 recommend!!! Dog friendly patio- took my dog and they brought him a bowl of water. Love this place

Adam S.

Food was great. Service was great. They have a gluten free menu which I appreciated.

Patrick Min

I have visited this California Pizza location in Fairfax Corner several times, especially when my nephews come to town, and we always have a good time. Their pizzas are consistently delicious and less salty than other pizza restaurants. They also have healthier options like gluten-free pizzas and tasty salads. This makes it more appealing to go back and try. The service is decent, and the servers are friendly. The place is well-maintained and clean. Although parking is free, finding a spot on weekends can be challenging since Fairfax Corner is a popular hangout spot.

Pam Ryan

Supergirl restaurant with our awesome server Alondra. The atmosphere was super exciting and fun. We played pickle ball first across the street and then enjoy delicious margaritas and Mexican beers with delicious chips and dips. The ambience is really cool. We enjoyed eating outside. I am strict gluten-free with celiac and I was able to find a lot of delicious things to eat. It's a fabulous place to eat!

Robyn Ladd

Great drinks and the bartender Irish was very personable! We stopped in for brunch, the Benedict’s were great and they have options for gluten free diets!

Monica Avila

Gina did an amazing job. She made our gluten free diet very easy. She was very professional and was on top of everything. We appreciated her service.

Karen Jackson

Gluten free options

Tiffany Von

Hands-down, one of my favorite more upscale restaurants. The service is phenomenal. It is one of my favorite restaurants in Tysons. Everything is consistent from the service and the food. I always go for the raw oysters. Their shrimp cocktail is huge and delicious. They accommodate my gluten sensitivities and their food is just delicious. I always go having at least four courses. Whether you’re a fish person or a steak person or even vegetarian, they have a great menu with a lot of variety. One of my favorite items that I get as an entrée is there branzino which I’m not sure if I spelled that right but it’s a fish is so light and delicate and the season it wonderfully. It is the type of place where you can get sides and they have such a variety. If there is just two people, I recommend asking for the half portion of the signs because if you get the full, that’s going to be a lot. Either way they’re sides are very generous. Great dessert varieties. They make a variety of cocktails and have a wonderful expanded wine list and a beautiful view. They also have valet which I highly recommend. There valet is very professional, and they make it easy. I’ll have to come back here later to share some photos but if you’re looking for a great date night or even a place to sit at the bar and unwind after work you’re going to enjoy Eddie V‘s.

Emily Palmer

We had an absolutely wonderful meal. The brussels sprouts were fantastic, the seasonal mocktail was light and refreshing. I've not had a better gluten free pasta in years, and the rice pudding was phenomenal. Can't wait to come back! *Editing to add that we had another great meal in June of 2023* the gluten free pasta is still amazing and the summer menu was amazing. Only one miss with the "Between the Sheets" cocktail, but otherwise a fantastic meal.
