They took our group of 20 elementary school kids and 6 adults without a reservation. The food came incredibly fast, tasted good and the waitress was amazing. She worked around the kids, gluten intolerance, and food allergies like a pro
Cantina is always my go to restaurant especially in the city! The roasted chicken tacos are always my favorite! They have so many gluten free options too! The service at the bar or if you are sitting at a table is always amazing! The manager was very informative on higher shelf tequila and helped our group out tremendously! I will always recommended cantina! Can’t wait to visit again!
Be it dining in, take out or delivery it’s been perfection EVERY. SINGLE. TIME!!!
I have celiac disease and have a really hard time finding places to eat. As luck would have it THEY ACCOMMODATED to my needs so I would be safe eating at their establishments.
Their customer service is bare none so I hope you try them!
Incredible food drinks and desert. I had a carrot cocktail which was amazing, yummy quail and local cheese, amazing SC fresh shrimp and the best grits I have ever had in a restaurant. To top it off a delicious gluten free and dairy free desert cake that was remarkable and one of the best gluten free desserts I have ever had. Service was perfect and great knowledge of all the foods and dietary restrictions. One of the best restaurants I have been to all year.
Great fresh food! There are ample gluten free protein choices and base choices. The sauces for GF are either sriracha or GF soy sauce or wasabi which is good, but I would so love to see a ginger soy sauce gf option. Still it is clean, bright, friendly and tasty.
Very tasty BBQ in vibrant Five Points Columbia! Nice selection of sides. Some meats and sides were out during our visit. Good drinks and wonderful service. Took our gluten and onion allergies seriously. Loved having a huge selection of sauces right on the table.
Free onsite parking. Lots of food and shopping nearby. Safe area with lots of activity.
I have been to Coa twice now with my friends and Dan is a wonderful server. He always makes sure we are taken care of, that we are having a great time, and that everything comes out perfect! My friend has a gluten allergy and he always make sure that anything she orders is gluten free without us even asking! He is a wonderful guy all around and if you go to Coa, Dan is the Man!! Other than the excellent service, I am never disappointed by the amazing food they always have. I love their rice, dobladitas, and my partner fell in love with their off the menu Birria tacos. The drinks are also super well made and they pack a punch so watch out! All in all, Coa is a must if you live or are visiting the Columbia area.
Very elegant dining experience! Food is expensive, but worth the splurge for special moments or if you can afford it. Steaks are top notch and premium sides are worth it. Very Gluten Free friendly! Will go again!
p.s. might want to call first and make reservations, very popular...
Green Olive is a gem near USC! The food is incredibly tasty, delicious, and fresh. We tried both the chicken and lamb shawarma platters, and they were fantastic. The salads were crisp and flavorful, complementing the meats perfectly. Plus, everything is very affordable, making it a great spot for a quick, satisfying Mediterranean meal. They have pizza so I’ll be back! They also have gluten free and vegan options.
Super super popular, reservations recommended! We had a large party and we were able to get outside seating with a short wait. Inside would have been a lot longer. The only reason I gave 4 stars was one of our party had to send back a steak for being overdone. We had to wait a bit for our food, but it was reasonable considering how slammed the kitchen must have been. Very friendly and accommodating service. We had a party member who has a very restrictive diet, and they were able to serve him easily. Plenty of gluten-free options!
Busy sit down breakfast restaurant🥚🥓
Very good food. Even has a bar area you can eat at. Some outdoor seating. Large menu. Some gluten friendly options. Lots of drink choices. Coke products including Coke Zero. Food came out very fast on a busy Saturday morning. Service is friendly and checks on you often.
Located not far from downtown Columbia in a vibrant area with restaurants, shopping and bars.
Parking can be a bit tricky. There is a small parking lot and on street parking. There is also a free lot up and behind the building a little hard to find.
Bourbon deserves 5 stars across the board! The ambiance was lovely..The food was great, and there is something for everyone- the menu has numerous vegetarian and gluten free options. But most of all the staff was amazing!! Christan our server was awesome and gave me an amazing recommendation (éttouffée was delicious).. and I truly don't have enough kind words for the manager Deborah!! We had a great conversation, and you could tell she takes pride in managing Bourbon and making sure every diner was happy and well taken care of. Next time I find myself in the area I will surely be back!
Gluten-free options (mostly Gluten-free).
It's soooooooooo good. Like, you could get ice cream but this????? Whole new level of amazing. Fruit, nuts, seeds .. might not sound like some amazing dessert... but it is! Just do it. Go get some.
Instead of a cake my daughter requested an ice cream bar for her wedding reception. It was a wonderful idea and was a hit. There was no need to stop the reception to cut the cake and many of the guests has gluten allergies. The guests had their choice of multiple flavors and there were a lot of positive feedback on the taste. I thought it was a great!
This hidden gem of restaurant was one we just happened to stumble across while site seeing on foot downtown. We didn’t make a reservation, however they were kind enough to fit us in. The menu had some interesting items ranging from different countries surrounding the Mediterranean but having the kids with us meant pizza all around. We went with the gluten free crust on both pizzas and we left with our stomachs happy and full. Definitely worth a try if you’re in the area or just so happen to get semi lost and they can squeeze you in. Oh and the staff were kind and gracious.
Had several great experiences here. The tacos and margaritas are delicious. Lots of variety to choose from on the menu. Inviting atmosphere, professional service. Lots of gluten-free options, which is very appreciated.
Wife and I love CAVA for a quick, healthy lunch. She's gluten sensitive and their menu is very gluten friendly for her to choose options/substitutions to avoid any problems
Went 1st time last night. Love the atmosphere... they were playing Sinatra, soft jazz, etc when we got there. Bumped up to more contemporary, but not too loud, which was great for conversation. We ordered the 1lb mussels w/Thai chili...YUM! And Beef Borganion...good but could've used more wine. Tuesdays are 25% off bottles of wine. Nice surprise. I do wish there was a goat dish on the menu! The duck tacos were fabulous (& Gluten free if matters for you). We will be going back! OP (or Opie?) the owner and Johanna or server were very gracious!
Brought my dad here for his birthday. Not my normal haunt and we didnt have reservations (eek). The hostess, Anna, was so kind and sat us in the bar area! (Thank you for helping me avoid a crisis Anna!) My dad had the filet and I had the seabass and mushrooms. The food was great! On top of that, our server, James, was knowledgable and welcoming. I have celiac disease and it's really difficult to dine out. Being service industry myself, and having "eating stipulations," I could not be more thankful to be able to eat GREAT FOOD ... ***SAFELY!*** with knowledgeable and empathetic service! 10/10 all the way around. This may be the new birthday spot to treat everyone I love! Thank yall so very much!
Best iced latte I’ve had in a long time! The service was great, super friendly, and fast! Really glad to have this coffee shop in the area I live in, I will be back! I got an Iced Caramel Latte and a Rainbow Bagel (with cream cheese). The atmosphere is very modern yet cozy and great study space. Also free wifi and a seating area outside! They also had gluten free (friendly) cookies available!
