Food is excellent! Orange Bike gluten free beer is crisp and refreshing. Gabriela’s smile is refreshing and welcoming. She was kind and offered different beer selections. Very accommodating!

The Butcher Burger did a great job cooking the burger. The toppings went together well and produced an overall good experience. They offer gluten free buns that are a good size and taste good. The table seating is only outside with all the indoor seating being either at the bar or facing out the window. The inside does smell a bit smoky with all the cooking happening in the building, so you may want to eat outside if that bothers you.

I really wanted to love this place! I've heard great things. Unfortunately, it wasn't a memorable experience. Most of the dishes tasted very similar, including everything from the baba ganoush to the tuna and the beef. We ordered the tasting menu hoping for a variety, but ended up receiving two of the same dish from different servers. Service also felt a bit disorganized. When we ordered, the server asked about dietary preferences, but the person who introduced himself at the start of the meal left halfway through, and we didn’t have a consistent point of contact after that. We asked for gluten-sensitive options but no one followed up during the meal. It was confusing, especially when pita was brought out and the server seemed unsure why I was asking about gluten-free items. I can't say this seems to be a safe option for folks with celiac. It was also uncomfortably hot inside. The air conditioning either wasn’t working or couldn’t keep up with the July heat, which made the experience less enjoyable. I’d be open to giving this place another try - maybe it was just an off night - but unfortunately, this visit didn’t quite live up to the hype, especially given the price.

As always, Fore Street does not disappoint. The food, atmosphere and service were spectacular. Our server made navigating my gluten sensitivity seamless by going through each menu item with me at the start. Not to miss when visiting Portland!

This place was good but at about 3 pm they were out of stock of a lot of their menu (almost all the sausage variations, some hot dogs, and some sides). They do have gluten free buns typically but they were out when I went so I just had to have the hot dog without a bun.

The best tasting espresso I've had in Portland - don't sleep on this! Homemade corn tortillas and knowledge of Celiac. Cocktails are unique, staff are chill, and tacos are delicious. Thank you for the quality experience!

Jillian was attentive and friendly. The service was great. The drink menu seemed limited. There's a huge wine list, not much for craft beer drinkers while being located in a craft beer city and there was a "shmedium" cocktail list. Come here for the raw bar. Legit one of the best oyster spots in Portland. The calamari was good, but nothing to go crazy about - it definitely scratches that itch when you're craving a light battered basket of sunshine. The lobster grilled cheese sounded glutenous but was so worth it - absolutely order this. It was LOADED with lobster. The fries that come with it are delicious and I don't go crazy over fries. My fiancee got the salmon BLT and when I asked what he thought about it... He responded, "it was good". 😆 There's a reason why he doesn't do the reviews LOL. Anyways, he did love it though. Would we come again? Yes. Is this a good date night spot? Yes. We'll be back.

In one word - exquisite! We stopped in Portland for a night on our way to Acadia. This restaurant was one of the recommended places in the podcast we listened to when driving, so we made a reservation on the go, what a successful choice this came to be! Got seated at the chef's counter - this is a jackpot seat as you see all the dishes come out and the chef was right there, kindly answering all our questions, as did the servers. We are spoiled in New York, but did this place give... - bluefin tuna crudo GF - the flavors are complex, but not too loud, the fish fresh & buttery - truffle braised leeks GF - cheesy, loved it, especially the fact that truffle was not overpowering - fried maine grains polenta GF - this was so unexpected heavenly, we could come back to Portland for this dish alone... the marigold leaves (we had to ask the chef what the little flavor burst leaves were)... fennel.. that crust.. soft melty fluff inside... mmm.... - bone marrow toast - if you're hungry, this will fill you up. It was tasty but we were waiting for a horseradish kick that never came (our expectations are our problem though). It could be that at this point we were just already full and also spoiled by the dishes that came before. - suckling pig GF - it looks as if it would be too fatty but it's not. It's perfect. It killed the pulled pork for me forever. I don't want to get any pork after this because nothing can beat it. - goat ragu al forno - the flavors were dancing and merry, a bit too salty to our taste, but it might be just us, otherwise perfection, never had a better ragu! - jasmine poached pear GF - we don't eat sweets, ordered a desert still, because evidently this is not an ordinary restaurant. For us, this was too sweet to taste any flavors. It could be we're just sensitized to sugar. We wish we got some veggies on the menu, because they looked fantastic! We definitely will next time we're in Portland. Lora was a class server, drinks on time, plates cleared out of the way at all times, no delays or wait times for anything, all questions answered, very pleasant manners. Thank you for working with us on gluten free options (for one of us).

Delightful array of sandwiches, both for breakfast and lunch. These bad boys are hefty and will fill you up. The flavor profiles are savory and the offering of gluten free bread doesn’t suck (which is hard to come by). Hands down probably the best sandwiches I’ve had! Thank you. :)

Phenomenal! Service was excellent. The gluten free pasta is TERRIFIC. I got the penne al pollo and I have nothing negative to say about the dish. The portions are large, we got a small and still had leftovers. We will definitely return.

A great spot with lots of room and choices for beer. It's a great place if you're looking to meet up with a larger group of friends, or if you just feel like blending in with a larger crowd. It is also one of the few bars in Portland that has a selection of gluten free beers.

Hidden gem in a very cool part of town. The servers are knowledgeable, attentive, and friendly. The vibe is spot on and the food is out of this world good. I drive 2 hours to eat here!! Gluten free options are available and there are fun non-alcoholic drinks. If you’re intimidated by the language on the menu ask questions - the servers are happy to guide you through this stunning culinary journey!!

I came across this restaurant when searching for something unique for an anniversary celebration. Upon arriving I immediately realized the location is in the old Fuji building. We entered the restaurant to be told our reservation with all of our “special” notes (anniversary celebration and gluten allergy) was not there despite multiple email and text reminders I had received throughout the day. There thankfully was an available table in the BBQ section which is what I had reserved. Upon walking into the BBQ dining room it was evident there had been little to no physical upgrades to the restaurant in at least 20 years (as a frequent Fuji guest I can tell). The floors were sticky the brick wall had splatters of something all over it, our water had a bug in it. Needless to say we were not impressed with the physical appearance of the restaurant. The food and cocktails were however delicious and made the overall experience far better than we initially expected it to be upon first impression. We ordered a dinner combo with three meats and veggies. The veggie portion was VERY small (literally a slice of an onion, three mushrooms, 2 zucchini slices, and 2 eggplant slices) but the meat portion was more than enough. We will return and hope some physical plant updates are in the future.

Super nice staff and excellent food! We were a party of 4 to celebrate a birthday at lunch, arriving from 4 distant locations, and were not disappointed. We all had the delicata bahn mi, one special with gluten free bread, and all our plates were empty (except I didn't have enough room for all the incredibly good fries). If I lived closer I'd try the whole menu!

My husband, some good friends, and myself went to Lucky Cheetah and had an incredible dining experience. The menu was able to cater to my gluten-free needs deliciously. I loved the baby corn and the cold sesame noodles! 10 out of 10. Not only was the food exceptional, but the service was top-tier. Lastly, it is such a beautiful space. If you’re looking for yummy food and a luxury feeling experience- look no further! I will be back many, many more times.
