Anthony was an amazing server ! Checking in on us but not interrupting us at the same time ! I am celiac and was able to eat at this restaurant, the staff made me feel heard about my allergy and reassured me with the measures they would take to make my meal safe. Great place to go! Super cute decor and style.
Surf is truly a gem in downtown Whitby. If you’re looking for a place to grab some excellent cocktails and amazing SoCal style small plates and shareables, this is where you wanna be.
They do a feature cocktail each week to keep it fresh (which you can find on their Insta) and everything they serve is made in-house (plus, their entire menu is 100% gluten free).
The staff are all super friendly and very knowledgeable when it comes to the drinks and food. If you come by in the summer they have a really beautiful back patio, too.
All around just a really amazing place that you should check out if you’re looking for a nice cocktail bar/restaurant in Durham.

Love everything!!!!
Added bonus they give me peace of mind bringing my 4 year old with celiac disease there. We don’t get to go out often to eat because people aren’t familiar or experienced with this condition! They are!! I promise, your truly missing out if you don’t try!
Mackenzie was sooo fun to have as a server. Her energy made my day :) food was also delicious, I got one of the skillet’s. Lots of gluten free options on the menu.
My fiance and I recently hosted an Engagement Lunch at The Brock House. Coordinating with Maddison, one of the owners who is also the event coordinator, was incredibly easy as she was very efficient and quick to answer all of my questions.
We reserved the Nash room and it was a beautiful space that was able to easily accommodate our 35 guests without it feeling cramped. One of our guests uses a wheelchair and there was zero issue with her being able to get into the space, have her meal, and use the washroom.
The staff had helped set up and decorate everything before we got there, and it was exactly how we envisioned it. It made walking in feel that much more special. Everyone on the team was so kind and attentive, making sure our guests were taken care of and that the whole event ran smoothly.
The food was absolutely delicious, and we’ve been hearing nonstop compliments from our family and friends. The team was also very attuned to allergies and food intolerances, which was very much appreciated as we had a variety in our group, including gluten-free guests.
We truly couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate such an important day.
Huge thanks to everyone at The Brock House. You made our engagement lunch so memorable, and we’re really grateful. Highly recommend for any special occasion!
Awesome experience here! My best friend is gluten free so we came here for their cinnamon roll gluten free pancakes (delicious by the way). We came in a group of 4, it was kind of busy but the food still came out fast, which was surprising because our server had to actually go get bananas because the ones they had weren’t ripe enough. Synthiyan was our server and he was exceptional! Will definitely be coming back.
Tonight was our first time at Beertown. As someone who is gluten and dairy free, I was excited to try their menu as they have a lot of options catering to my diet.
Unfortunately, a couple of things happened that did not make our experience a great one. First of all, I asked for a gluten free bun and my burger came with a wheat bun on it. I wouldn't have known if I had been alone, but everyone else at my table had the same bun which is how I knew it wasn't allergen-friendly.
My other friend asked for regular truffle fries and he was given vegan parm fries which he did not want. Our fries were also stone cold, which was especially disappointing once we actually got the right order.
The food we all had was just okay, and there was nothing special about it. It also took about 45 minutes for our food to arrive which was quite frustrating and there was no apology or consideration around this.
The drinks were good which we appreciated and the vibes were enjoyable, although very loud on a Friday evening - we often had to yell in order to hear one another.
Overall, I unfortunately won't be back. I'd maybe recommend this place for drinks only and if you are not in a rush.

Every time I’m in town visiting my parents we come here for lunch, the food is amazing. I also have a severe Gluten allergy and I can have quite a few options. I usually go with the russwich sandwich the beef is so tender and the gravy is so flavourful, they also get their GF from the store next to the restaurant so it’s always fresh. Service is always good and friendly, prices are also very reasonable for the portions!
Went here on the recommendation of a friend. Italian restaurants frighten me a little, as I have a gluten allergy. But I needn't have been worried. The menu is clearly marked, and the staff very accommodating. I ended up having the best risotto of my life. My husband had pasta bolognese. He said it was fantastic. The prices are reasonable, staff are friendly, atmosphere is nice. I will go back for sure when in the area again. Thanks Bella Notte, keep up the good work!
Great little brunch spot with a few gluten-free options! Food and service were both AMAZING. I had the Carlos breakfast and my date had the fried chicken over French toast. He said the creamy brown butter was to die for! We had to ask what kind of butter it was and sure enough it's made in-house.
Vibes were feel good all around 🫶🏼
Food was fresh, hot and delicious. Knowledgable and friendly staff was able to recommend gluten free options (everything is gluten free except pasta and pita wraps). Would return without hesitation.
Their kitchen is phenomenal. Fresh, well prepared, everything has a twist. Comparable prices. Their Veggie Burger is better than anything I've had, and it's made right in their kitchen. Gluten free buns. Delicious beet salad.
Celiac friendly
