As someone with a gluten allergy I am grateful to have a food stop where I don’t have to worry about anything on the menu. Been multiple times and everything is fresh and consistently good.

I loved the atmosphere and it was honestly the absolute best gluten-free pizza I have ever had! It is a little pricey but so worth it!

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!!

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.

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!

This was literally the best fried chicken and fries I’ve ever had in my life. AND, IT WAS GLUTEN FREE! I couldn’t believe it. Service was excellent. The workers were all smiling and laughing. Great music.

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!

We had a great time dining with a friend who was visiting from out of town. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. The menu had a nice variety of options to choose from.

The food was excellent, the setting was beautiful, the ambiance was upscale but family friendly. And our server Laura (from New Kent) did an outstanding job! She was very knowledgeable of the menu and helped us with several dietary needs. We had a table of 4 but Needy customer #1 was a very hungry teenager and Needy #2 &3 were two with celiacs disease. We are so grateful your menu was clearly marked with GF options as well. We had the burrata salad with grilled chicken, braised short ribs, filet medallions, fried chicken and sides of cheesy grits and mac 'n cheese. Everyone was so please with their meals. Job well done to all! We'll definitely come again.

Such good food and service! Also don’t sleep on that habanero guava hot sauce. The best part for me is that they have an actually decent gluten free bread option for sandwiches!
