Had to wait a few minutes to get seated as they were busy. Obviously popular so that's good. Lots of gluten free and vegan options which were clearly marked on the menu and much appreciated. The food was delicious and the staff helpful and friendly.
SO MANY GLUTEN FREE OPTIONS!!! I adore Pinky’s they have a very up beat and fun vibe to them but also some I impeccable food with a large variety of options! I’ve been enjoying their brunch for years but I recently went for dinner with a girl friend of mine and to no shock their dinner menu is just as perfect as their brunch!
Absolutely fantastic restaurant! My partner has celiac and they have a full gluten free menu. We go at least once a month. I highly recommend for ANYONE!
My husband and I got our wedding cake and cupcakes done through Pearl's, and we are so happy with how everything turned out! We had a complimentary tasting a few months before. We had gluten-free and vegan guests, and Pearl's was able to make cupcakes for those needs which was really important to us. They worked with us to get exactly what we wanted. Highly recommend!
Went for a late lunch after visiting the Childrens Museum. The burgers were phenomenal, very tasty beef and homemade gluten free buns. Duck fat fries were an extra special treat. Topped it all off with milkshakes.
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 am gluten free and dairy free (by choice) the food was amazing. The drinks were also fantastic. The bartender, I believe his name was Owen, checked on me multiple times and made a great Moscow mule. I will 100000% be coming back. For those fellow gluten free dairy free folks, this is the best pizza I’ve ever had.
My first google review because I would like to let my fellow allergy ridden people know this is the spot!
Fun Creperie in Richmond. When you get to the building you have to walk up the stairs and the door opens up to a main floor. The hallway you face looks like a little town. The hostess will greet you and ask what your seating prefer. They have the option of outdoor seating, there is also an upstairs floor.
They have a lot of options for crepes, including nin crepe items. There are cocktails and hot drinks. I also noticed a kids menu, vegetarian and gluten free options. This trip is my first here and I ordered two crepes a savory and sweet. The savory one was the Carbonara crepe. This crepe looked fancy and tasted rich. The crepes are packed full. Personally I found it a bit too rich or salty, not sure if it was the pesto adding to an already cheesy chicken bacon filled crepe. The sweet crepe I ordered was the Tirimisu. The tirimisu crepe was decadent and delicious and very filling.
Overall it was a great experience. I did find their hours a little later (most Creperies I have come across are open in the morning). At the time of this review they opened at 11 am on Saturday.
I was like how diverse can the menu be, aren’t crepes basically dessert? Then was like this is kinda pricey- guys- this place is incredible and the food is next level and the menu is awesome. I am a convert and will 100% be back- we loved it- kids menu was great- great happy hour even on weekends- gluten free crepes were so good- you guys have to try it out!
Absolutely fantastic!! The drinks were delicious and dangerous (in a good way)! Gluten free options everywhere! Housemate pickles were scrumptious! The wait staff looked happy to be there and excited about the food.
12/10. This place is phenomenal. The food and service were both top notch. Also, lucky for me they have A LOT of gluten free options, for those who have allergies or sensitivities to gluten. I figured they would have at least a few options but according to our server, either the owner or the head chef has celiac so they try to incorporate several gluten free options for guests.
So we ordered the fried broccolette, the seven hills 16 oz ribeye, and the Greg’s catch of the day. The broccolette might not sound that interesting but it was actually super delicious and 10 times better than we thought it would be. We only ordered after our server (i think her name is Kat) recommended it. The ribeye was really good on its own, but the Greg’s catch was the pride and joy of the evening. I didn’t know what panisse was before this evening and now I know it’s one of my favorite food items. It was paired with a trout/salmon like fish and it had a sauce spread all around it too. That dish would be my recommendation to anyone. Our server, Kat, explained a lot to us and was super helpful with recommendations. Definitely coming back.
So I ordered a gluten-free burger and fries the other day from this establishment. My sister also ordered from them. When the order came the buns on the sandwiches looked the same. So I called them and said did you get this order wrong because the buns look the same. (because one of the burgers was supposed to have a gluten-free bun). The guy who answered the phone talked fast with no solution to the problem. He never said that he would refund the order and start over or anything that an establishment that cares about their patrons would do. By the way my sister's order was jacked up had things on the sandwich she did not order and things that she ordered on the sandwich was not on the sandwich.
I'm gluten, dairy and soy free. I have been getting their south lamb without cilantro sauce on a gluten free bun. I can also have their salad with house vinegarette. Their fries are fantastic and the combo of the sweet and salty in the south lamb is fantastic.
We had a great lunch at this restaurant. We ordered the meza platter and two side dishes, which were all delicious. We have been to this restaurant before when it was located on the west side, and we were not disappointed with the menu after it moved to its new location. We were so impressed with our lunch that we also ordered the chicken swarmha to take out. The fact that they have gluten-free options was appreciated, as one of us requested it. The service was excellent, with a friendly and helpful waitress.
There are so many good things to eat here, and they are excellent about indicating gluten free items on the menu. Excellent service and we love the patio almost year-round. Favorites: any tamales on the specials menu, both mocktails, their ceviches, and the birria tacos (maybe my favorite birria in Richmond). The tostados de pescado are the only thing I've ever disliked there. Much saltier than necessary.
Give me Liberty or give me death!!! I felt like death leaving this place. And you will wait for your food to hit the table...
Man, let me start by saying, "Table of 4, holiday weekend, kick off, so the team decided to grab lunch together, COOL."
I am a 1st and LAST timer......
My order: Ol' Faithful (scrambled eggs with cheese, bacon, biscuit, and hashbrowns)
I wanted a side order of pancakes. Well, the waitress wanted to give me an entire pancake meal, and I asked for just 1 side order (a la carte).
The pancakes only (side order) were $12 for 3 that were not edible.
Photo: My food and pancakes were dusty dry inside. Couldn't cut with a knife. They were tough. At clean up, I found out it was gluten-free. No thanks
Others: enjoyed their meal, one inhaled the burger, not sure if she tasted it.
Everyone eats, and we are heading out, returning to the office. Instantly, I needed to sit down and center myself. Felt loopy, headache, nauseous not just me, all of us!!!!
One took a 15-minute nap to try to bounce back, I am flushing with water, and the others are in the bathroom. So, notification are being made to our job because something is clearly off and we all are not sure what is going on....we left the office and directly to get lunch to return directly back to the office. ( I fast until 1100hrs, this was my first meal for the day)
The best way I explained it, feeling loopy like when I eat Chinese food and forget to tell them no MSG.
Nothing on the menu states cooked with MSG.
Called the location just to check if they cook with MSG, Alexia/Alexis (manager) heard my issue, quickly put me on hold to check a sauce they cook with; returned to say no MSG in the building. But you have a sauce you cook with, ok.
Yeah, I will pass on this one. You all enjoy, thou...
The service was very good and prompt here. The staff was very polite and attentive. The food was super good and I was very pleased with how many gluten free options were available. Around half of the items were either gluten free already or had a gluten free option, which I find impressive. Usually, other restaurants might have 2 out of 8 main dishes with gluten free options, but not here.
Biggest issue was trying to find street parking before hand. Good luck with that! Unless you’re lucky on street parking will be closer to 2nd or 3rd street on broad. I do think there’s a parking garage that’s closer but I’m not sure of the cost.
Anyway, I will be back for sure! Oh and I really recommend the shrimp and scallops over polenta for the secondi (second course). That was MAGNIFICENT!
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!
First time dining here. Great dog friendly porch. Had a fabulous lunch/brunch. They have multiple gluten free options on the menu. Service was great and staff went out of their way to make sure our dog had it's own water bowl and shady spot to get out of the sun. The food was terrific. I had a breakfast bowl with pork bbq. Huge portion that I couldn't finish. Can't wait to come back for Supper!
Our waiter Badhan was very nice and helpful. I have a gluten allergy (celiac) and he helped me find items on the menu that were safe to eat and made sure there was no cross contamination. Excellent service!
Is there a perfect restaurant? This is as close as I've seen. The food is incredible, the atmosphere amazing, and the entire staff was very friendly. This is a habit forming restaurant. Their gluten free menu has a wide variety of delicious items.

I got the classic station2 burger!! Gluten free bun!! It was really good. The bun was sooo soft and delicious. The burger was thick so it could’ve used a lot more seasoning. The chili was okay, there were too many beans in my opinion and I wish they gave me more cheese to add in it but it was still pretty good. yummy! I wish they had a dedicated gluten free fryer because I would’ve been able to get fries here instead of somewhere else.
We hosted our wedding rehearsal dinner at Cap Ale downtown and could not have been happier! They were super easy to work with, made accommodations for allergies/dietary restrictions, and the whole thing was super reasonably priced. And of course, all the food and drinks were delicious!
My wife and I are both gluten-free and dairy-free, and we decided to not have dessert since the two options on our pre-set menu weren’t gf and df. The team at Cap Ale took it upon themselves to provide a dairy-free, gluten-free cheesecake for the two of us to share! It was amazing and really left an impression that they took the time to do this. Huge shout out to Jessica who took great care of our whole party, and to Amber who helped us with booking.
Three years ago I stopped by here on a whim. I had gotten tired of eating at the same restaurants, and wanted to try something different. Thank God I did! I’m gluten free and dairy free (and very picky), and can dine here with no issues. The food has always been great. Most importantly, I made friends with the owner, Tom, during my frequent visits. Tom works very hard and puts his all into this place. I’ve observed him dealing with his regulars, with the new folks, and with the not-so-nice folks. He handles everything with such grace! I’ve since brought other members of my family, and he always asks about them. The other servers who have been there awhile know my face and always ask where I have been if it’s been some time since I last visited. Although I work in a different city now, I still do my best to come back here because this place is so special. If you haven’t tried Pho1Grill yet, please do! :D
Our order took long (they seemed to be very busy with takeout) but they gave us a complementary dessert to make up for it. Great food with several vegan and gluten free options (ask for the takeout menu which lists the Vegan and GF options). Staff was really friendly
Food is great and staff is great. They were accommodating/knowledgeable in regards to my need to have gluten free items. This will def be a regular spot for me
Myself and my party had a wonderful brunch. We were celebrating a successful bridal dress pick and engagement. Our waitress Sophie was lovely. Drinks and good was overall tasty. I was glad my vegan and gluten intolerant friends were able to find food they enjoyed. One of the shrimp dishes had a sauce that needed more body, but overall it was a good experience. Definitely would come again!
We have been eating here for years, and have never had a complaint! Whether we choose to dine in, carry out, or have it delivered through DoorDash, the food is always fresh and tasty. My wife has Celiac disease and loves the chicken and rice soup. The menu has enough variety that even very picky eaters will find something to enjoy. If you haven’t tried iThaiz yet, you’re missing out!
My partner and I went to Carrabba's on a Saturday in April around 11:30am. We were seated right away and it was not busy. We were served bread and oil and ordered calamari as an appetizer. Our meals came with either soup or salad also. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. We both ordered pasta dishes and I got their gluten-free noodles. It's really a hit-or-miss with gluten-free noodles, but these were delicious!! We were overall really impressed with everything! The wait staff were responsive and friendly as well. We had a great experience and cannot wait to return!
This place has been phenomenal from my first visit to my last visit. I recently went Thursday of last week and they were closed until Tuesday of this week. However, the owner is from Liberia, the spices in her food and provide such a wonderful robust flavor in the mouth Saturday brunch 0MG the lemon waffles are out of this world, especially with me being vegan and having an extreme gluten allergy, they have made every accommodation average small business would not even think about offering. I’ve called Advance and asked them if they should have the bread that’s gluten-free and vegan for the Saturday brunch and they did that I have taken my family. They have had the lamb chops oh my gosh, the sweet potato soufflé for dinner is out of this world the crabcake the owner personally made for me out of this world the vegan gluten-free dessert. The chocolate dessert is out of this world the lavender beverage is out of this world. The atmosphere is very antiquated Da Cell, her husband is an awesome host and engages very well with their customers. I tell you I am very meticulous. I highly recommend hundred out of 100 if you were looking for a top tier elegant restaurant in the Richmond area this is your place Nu vegan is next-door and there is no competition between the two. please be sure to tip your waitress. It is well worth it. I wish you well on your experience whether it’s your first or your last be well.
This place was great. I had the Devil Mess, which seems to be their signature dish. Was a good level of spice but not too hot. They also were accommodating to my wife with Celiac disease (gluten).
One of my favorite spots in all of Richmond, with fresh pasta made right behind the counter. Yes, it is known they have the best smoked salmon in town (and reasonably priced). But their to-go meals, especially the microwave friendly ones, are also fantastic values (~$8).
Their fresh and dried pastas are outstanding and come in shapes and flavor profiles you can't find elsewhere (the black pepper linguine is so simple yet insanely good; they have gluten free options, as well). Their jarred sauces are as tasty as any I've had; I prefer them to Rao's, for example, and they're $1-2 less.
This isn't a comprehensive Italian market where you can find every imported good known to humankind, it's a curated selection with the majority made in house, which is rare these days.
The family who runs it and the folks who work there are wonderful, as well. It's always a pleasure visiting Bombolini and I'm grateful to live within walking distance.
I'm a gluten free girl (celiac) and was blown away by how delicious the food was last night. I got the part of the special (apple fennel salad with peanut dressing) and THE WOW. The burger I ordered with it was delicious too, but I could have eaten three times the amount of that salad/slaw. It was incredible and I would love to see it on the menu again next time!

The food here was truly exceptional, as was the service and their gorgeous space. Excellent, creative flavors and good knowledgeability about gluten sensitivity. HIGHLY recommend trying the cachapas. The cocktails were good but not quite at the same level as places like Heritage or Roosevelt. Overall it was a wonderful experience and we will absolutely be back!
My sister has wanted to try this place for a while so we went when I was visiting her and wanted to get pizza. So worth it!
It's hard to find good gluten-free pizza that still tastes good and this place did it nicely. I went basic with a Margherita to test it and we got to see them make it. It was delicious and not too saucy, even though it was light on cheese. My sister got the regular Spicy Goat since she can eat gluten and loves hot honey and adored it. She said she almost could've finished it. She also tried some of my Margherita and said it was good, which is high praise since she doesn't like GF food usually.
We want to return and try their tacos sometime. And definitely get more pizza too!
Except dairy (cheese) and honey, all the other items are vegan
They have vegan cheese and dairy cheese as options
Their gluten free bread contains eggs, the regular gluten bread is vegan
We stopped by for an appetizer and a couple glasses of wine on Friday evening. The service was excellent. We ordered the cheese board. The homemade focaccia was gluten free and tasted amazing. I was honestly pretty disappointed in the cheese selection on the board. One was a bleu cheese, I don’t mind bleu cheese but it seems out of place on a cheese board, especially with no warning on the menu. The middle cheese (I think it was Parmesan?) lacked flavor overall. The final cheese was a soft goat cheese and it was delicious. The board is also served with a variety of fruits, jams, and nuts which is an awesome touch. Overall it was a decent experience.
