Last week, I met my girlfriends for lunch at Urban Plates, my first time at this restaurant. I was initially impressed with their idea of fresh and healthy eating as well as their food selection, including highlighting meals that are vegan and/or gluten-free. I was optimistic that my food allergies for gluten, garlic, and dairy would be accommodated. However, my excitement soon vanished when I tried to order. I was notified that everything is cooked with garlic; they were only able to offer steamed asparagus without garlic! The sad truth is, that those fresh and organic vegetables are smothered in garlic seasoning! Imagine promoting freshness and organic and then you cook those delights with some cheap seasoning instead of adding FRESH garlic for those who want it! It was such a disgusting a disappointing experience that only deserves one remark: CULINARY DISASTER!!! Not sure what Chef is responsible for these decisions! ADDITIONAL COMMENT AFTER RESTAURANT'S RESPONSE: I had arrived early and talked with the staff about my needs; the manager talked to the kitchen staff and confirmed that they are using seasoning in all the side dishes (except for asparagus that can the steamed). While waiting for my friends to arrive, I was observing and did see the shelf with all the many, many seasoning containers.... The carrot-beet dish was so full of seasoning that I could not even recognize the flavor of a carrot or a beet. AGAIN: you promote organic freshness which means I expect to be able to enjoy the FLAVORS of the vegetable instead of seasoning with strong garlic flavor.... It was a horrible experience and defeats the purpose of eating fresh vegetables. Incredibly disappointing!

I recently dined at Trattoria Trullo for the fourth time - and this review is long overdue! It is always an exceptional experience from start to finish. I appreciate they offer gluten friendly options and the authentic Italian dishes are to die! The menu offers seasonal faire and my new favorites are the squash blossoms, crudo, and the Pesto Spaghetti with green beans. My staples: the focaccia (Tip: if you call in advance of your reservation, they can usually make you a gluten free focaccia! AND I recommend you try each dip option!) and rigatoni bolognese. The welcoming atmosphere and attentive service make the dining even more enjoyable. A special shoutout to the fabulous GM, Jill, who always goes above and beyond to ensure everything is perfect. Highly recommend this restaurant for a true taste of Italy!

Visiting California for a few days and stopped in to Fennel Kitchen and Bar for lunch after a 6 hour flight from New York. I am pleased to say the food, service and atmosphere were all amazing!! Jacob, our server, was so accommodating, especially to our dietary needs ( gluten free, keto, etc). The lentil soup was by far one of the best we have ever had (Jacob told us it was an old family recipe and that’s exactly what it tasted like!). The cocktails were delicious! We will be coming in for another meal before heading home!!! Highly recommend!!!

We celebrated my sons 5th birthday here and it was perfect!!! The staff was extremely accommodating and helpful. They set up the outdoor patio for us and it was great to let the kids run around. There were heaters for later in the evening. Not only was the staff so great, but the food was delicious!!! I am gluten free and dairy free and am not used to getting to eat what everybody else has, but they had both of those options for pizza and it was so good! I will definitely be bringing the kids back here for family pizza night

Nice little restaurant. Quick service. The yellow curry is one of the best I’ve had. It happens to be gluten free. The waitress we have is always super nice and she has a cracking memory for what we’ve ordered before. She’s amazing.
