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.

The tacos were delicious and the service was good. The menu had clear gluten free options and a lot of them too. The tacos are more expensive than average, around $5 each, but worth it because of how tasty they are. I would recommend this place.
Only had takeout from here so far, but it was noteworthy.
The gluten free pizza is some of the best we've had.
The glutenous is of course amazing as well.
The burger and chicken sandwich are expensive but also exemplary. (They are huge!)
In our opinion you can share a small pizza with two people and a sandwich with two people.
I've been going here for several years now, and the food never disappoints. This locally-owned restaurant serves healthy, delicious and carefully prepared food -- from delicious gluten-free crêpes to fresh fish. For those looking to binge eat and complain about the portion size, this is not the place to go. For those interested in a healthy, fresh, and delicious French meal however, this place is highly-recommended. It is without doubt one of the best restaurants in Old Town Alexandria.

I visited with family and we had a wonderful time! Ada's is the perfect combination of atmosphere, food and service. The location on the Potomac River is ideal too, making it an exquisite experience anytime of the day.
Our waiter, Theo was friendly, efficient and attentive. Based on my reservations, he knew that I had gluten intolerance and made sure to suggest the foods that were within my restrictions. He did so without me having to ask and even communicated with the chef to ensure I had the perfect meal.
When you go to Ada's be prepared to be well cared for and fully satisfied. That's why we love it there 💜

I really can’t enough good things about this restaurant!
The staff was unbelievable, and addressed my options with me as soon as I mentioned I had celiac disease. Our server Gara was great!!! Once our order was in, the manager Diego came over to introduce himself, and he reassured me the kitchen was taking care with my order!
The scallops and risotto were incredible, and melted in your mouth! I’m so happy having a place I can count on for dining out!!!!
One of the best hidden gems in the area. Everything about this place is amazing, service is impeccable, staff is friendly, and their cook on their steaks is always spot on. They’ve got a separate menu for gluten free options as well.
The baked cod was very good -- light, flaky, moist, and delicious. The sides of roasted potatoes and green beans were quite good as well. As a gluten-free option, the shrimp and grits were very, very good.

The food here is absolutely amazing! I'm both gluten and dairy free and they are very cognizant of allergens and dietary restrictions. We went on Valentine's Day and the manager made sure that every woman received a rose. I had the Mahi Mahi Tacos and blueberry lemonade! The service was great, wonderful atmosphere and it was a perfect evening! We'll be back!!!
Great spot and not too pricey considering it's King St. Great choices in drinks and food and gluten free choices! Friendly servers and great bartenders. What a gem!

So many people recommend this place because of its extensive gluten-free menu. But upon arrival, I was told by our server that nothing fried would be gluten-free, ok, I understand that. But the majority of the vegetables were also not gluten-free for one reason or another, which was baffling! Not a single appetizer was gluten free, the waitress suggested the steak or a fish. Unfortunately, I'm vegan as well. So we had to leave. I'm not sure who went to this place and found it to be gluten-free, friendly, but it is absolutely NOT a place to go if you have celiac disease! Exceptionally disappointing as we drive and hunted for parking for quite a while all to turn around and leave.
Food was fabulous! Great ambience and our service was very friendly and knowledgeable. Just a couple minor hiccups - I ordered the shrimp tacos but unfortunately they were half corn half flour - I was hoping there would be more gluten free options. Also my mother ordered the strawberry salad which was apparently amazing, but she added a chicken breast which had some sort of curry seasoning on it - she said was a weird flavor on the salad. Final qualm is that we were told it would be a 50 min wait for the patio. After 60 mins we checked on our spot in line and they told us they gave our table away because they attempted to call us but didn’t get an answer - we did not get any phone calls. We had to wait an Additional 15 mins which was a bummer. At least the food came quickly. We’ll likely try this place out again.
Bugy's is an Old Town staple! Originally owned by a retired hockey player, it is a true sports bar upstairs. On either floor you can enjoy their amazing pizza's. The Florentine is an amazing option. As well you can get wings. They have gluten-free crust as well. Make sure to ask for Enzo if you're dining downstairs.
From the service to the food, our experience was phenomenal! The owner and chef Rajat tended to us personally, giving us recommendations that exceeded our expectations. One of our party has a gluten allergy and was able to fully enjoy the experience with a plethora of menu items.
Our server, Thuba, was so wonderful! The restaurant offered a lot of gluten free options and food was delicious. Highly recommended the sautéed shrimp “Diane”. Will definitely return.
Food was excellent! Especially appreciated our server Erick noting my gluten allergy and making solid recommendations! I ordered the 8oz filet and my husband ordered the Ribeye. The sides were good as well. Overall, food was good, and cocktails were even better. Highly recommend the Guava Coco Margarita with LaGritona tequila!! Can't wait to come back, great service & food!
Well done menu and flavorful. Very accommodating to gluten-sensitive/GF adjustments to some of the dishes (not serving Naan or pita, but cucumbers instead). Great job!
My husband and I got engaged in August and we knew we wanted to have a small wedding in the fall (two months later!). This all hinged on finding a restaurant that had a good atmosphere, was light and airy, and could handle my dietary restrictions. Hummingbird was our answer - we had a Sunday brunch reception here for 60 people after our midday wedding ceremony. Kenneth was so pleasant to work - he was detail oriented, responsive to emails and meeting requests, and he was able to proactively accommodate many food restrictions. I am gluten, dairy, and egg free and there were many foods (at a brunch!) that I could eat. Kenneth also went back and forth with me on the paper menu I created with GF/DF/etc symbols so I could make sure all my friends/family with dietary restrictions were covered. They also prepared a special plate and got a dessert for our vegan friend.
We had many friends compliment us on the food (I hear the avocado toast was particularly amazing), most of whom I consider to be foodies so I took that as quite high praise. It made us very happy that our friends were full and content - that hasn't always happened to us at weddings so that was really important to us when we were planning.
We ended up doing a full restaurant buy out and a partial patio buy out. There was a baby shower on the other portion of the patio which they had put up a tent for since it was early November. Our photographer and some guests got confused by the second event - it blocked the main entry vestibule so people missed all the signage for our event and also no one wanted to hang out at the outside tables even though the weather was beautiful. My recommendation would be to try to also do a full patio buy out so you aren't sharing any outdoor space and it's just your event. All in all, though, I highly recommend!
Falafel bowl is fresh, well seasoned, and hearty for a great price. The cafe itself is pretty small but the workers and atmosphere is clean and kind. There’s likely something that naturally gluten free here, too, though it felt too busy to ask while I was there. I’d definitely go back.
Very cute and fun tea service! Great staff, lots of tea options, cute inside. The sandwiches are great, we loved the chicken salad and apple and Brie. They have MANY gluten free options that are all delicious! They’ll make GF sandwiches, scones, macarons, creme brûlée, pana cotta. Great place for GF tea experience.
Nice location and relatively easy parking on side street. Not too crowded early on a Saturday night. Flavorful and authentic food. The table enjoyed the Brussel sprouts, halloumi goulash, and hummus. All delicious. Pita fabulous. For the main dish, shared the scallops, shrimp, mixed grill and added vermicelli rice and white rice. Dessert was baklava AND phyllo wrapped brownie. Staff were able to accommodate gluten free (except dessert) and vegetarian. All of the food was wonderful. One star off because while the staff were professional and kind, they seemed a bit busy. Regardless, we will return.
