Nice update! They added some extra gluten free and vegan options since the last time I was here. It was my first time here for brunch so I tried and loved the breakfast tacos(not vegan). Psyched to come back and try some of the new stuff ๐Ÿ˜‹

A nice place for a complete breakfast but unfortunately, the gluten free options are not for celiacs.

Had lunch here for the first time. I like the variety of veggie options, gluten free friendly selections, and customer service. Food arrived promptly. Ashley was friendly and helpful to us. 5 star for service, 3 for food because the food seems too heavy for the healthy options, way too much sauce and dressing for my preference compared to True Food Kitchen.

We were there for breakfast. Simply fantastic ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ˜‹. The wait was worth it again. Since I can't eat bread because of my celiac disease, I was given a fruit bowl for it. I found it very attentive.

Wow! Wow! Wow! What an incredible experience. Michelin-trained chef, Dean Yasharian and his team, including Austin really outdid themselves. From the attentive service, the amazing food, to the perfect wine pairings, I am so impressed by our experience. I couldn't believe they were able to accommodate my dietary restorations: gluten free and dairy free! All without skimping on flavor. I had an incredible dairy-free lobster bisque for the first time in years! โ€œA Taste of Perleโ€ menu was amazing!!!!

Great customer service however, I was expecting to be able to sample the food ahead of ordering it. Also, the place is packed with smaller tables and many visitors. I believe there are more visitors than seating. It is great to find a place that is conscious of the food they serve with a variety of vegan and gluten free options, however, why do they serve fried chicken? I came here to follow pursuit of my nearby Urban Plate and Lemonade. I always wonder if these places are using organic foods or not? They have a few plugs and wifi, (which is a must for me) but more plugs would be helpful as you cannot always sit where one is accessible. I work mobile so I would spend hours in this place. Great place overall.
