I bought two gluten free toasts, one with eggs and bacon one with avocado, GF is 1$ extra. When brought to my table, I noticed that one plate had different bread than the other, which I suspected was not GF. I asked one waiter and he said yes yes it's gluten free. I was still suspicious, asked another one who said yes. Asked him if he was really sure. He went to check and lo and behold it was not GF bread. It takes you 30 seconds to check, saves me hours of discomfort. I then get my plate changed to a GF toast half the size of the normal one. Pictured is my $10 avocado toast. They also forgot to register bacon on my order. They forgot my bottle of water. Then they forgot to bring me a glass. Had to ask each time. It was not busy. They ask for tips at the counter. What am I tipping for exactly?

Run, or bike, to La Bicyclette now- their food is incredible! Highlights include their Winter Citrus salad (they graciously converted it to gluten free; in doing so they provided a citrus dressing rather than the standard vinaigrette) which was bright and perfectly balanced. The Steak au Poivre was expertly prepared. Our server was excellent-very attentive but not overbearing. The space has an energetic, but not chaotic, vibe. I am looking forward to returning!

We were blown away with this place. We enjoyed it so much we came back again the next night. The food is so good, very unique in taste and presentation I would call it elevated "Mexican" food although don't expect what some people call "traditional" Mexican food. Great gluten free options, awesome drinks, great service from everyone and the hot chocolate after dinner drinks are such a nice touch we couldn't wait to get them again. We looked around at other restaurants in the area that all seem to be very much the same, this place was not the same in a good way it was very unique and delicious.

Yummy! Best pizza I've had in a long, long time. My son and I shared a gluten-free crust pizza and it was super delicious. The rest of the family had the regular crusts and they loved it. And I ordered the Greek salad which was fantastic. Wonderful service. Definitely 5-star experience.
