Stopped by while traveling through town twice. Separate prep area for gluten free pizza. Loved the Jamaican Jerk Chicken pizza.

I am not someone who writes reviews very often but Canopy Road (specifically the Apalachee Parkway location) is incredible. I have been going there for years and have never once had a bad experience. The staff works extremely hard and always has the best attitude. Definitely worth the wait if there is one. It was rare that I was not there on a Saturday or Sunday morning during my time as an Undergraduate student. The staff remembered who I was every single time and was always extra cautious when handling my food (due to my gluten allergy).Chelsea at the front is one of the reasons this location is so special. She greets everyone she meets with the most genuine smile and is one of the hardest workers I have ever seen.

Love the breakfast here, especially the gluten free pancakes!

Canopy Road is the best. I try something different every time. The food is always delicious and it comes out fast! They have tons of gluten free options (that all taste incredible). Highly recommended!!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Backwoods Crossing, and I can’t say enough about their salad with gluten-free catfish bites. The catfish was perfectly seasoned and had a delightful crunch that paired beautifully with the fresh, crisp greens. The highlight, however, was the oyster mushrooms – their flavor and texture were simply out of this world. A big shout-out to Jade and Ella for their outstanding service. They were attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our meal. The atmosphere was top tier, creating a relaxing and enjoyable dining experience. I highly recommend this dish and this restaurant for anyone looking for a delicious, gluten-free option in a wonderful setting. Kia

I have celiac and Amanda was very knowledage about what was okay and not okay and pointed out all my options. Also the best scrambled eggs I've ever had!

We had sworn off returning to this location after many bad meals, but we recently heard they had a new manager and decided to give them another shot. I’m SO glad we did because we had the best meal! They have a dedicated gluten free menu, and our waitress, Brandie, did a great job at making sure our food was celiac safe for my husband! Our steak was cooked to perfection. We will absolutely be regulars again!

Elevated Fine Dining at The Huntsman – A Culinary Celebration Worth Remembering We recently celebrated our daughter’s graduation from Florida State University (FSU) at The Huntsman Restaurant and Bar, and the entire experience was nothing short of extraordinary. If you’re searching for the best fine dining restaurant in Tallahassee, Florida for a celebration, anniversary, or just an elevated night out—this is it. From the moment we stepped inside, the atmosphere radiated class and comfort. The elegant bar setup instantly caught my eye, signaling that this is a place where handcrafted Old Fashioneds and curated cocktails are serious business. My Whistle Pig Old Fashioned was smooth, perfectly balanced, and honestly one of the best I’ve had. Andrew, our server, was exceptional—warm, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. His recommendation of the Rabbit Makhani from the main course menu stole the show. With its savory Indian curry, cardamom basmati rice, and garlic naan, it was so incredible I paused mid-bite on my 16oz Prime Split Bone-In Ribeye—which speaks volumes! Our table shared a variety of stunning starters: the A5 Wagyu Pierogies with hazelnut pesto and beet butter, the crispy eggplant with mascarpone mousse and pearl onion agrodolce, and a generously portioned charcuterie board that hit every note from salty to sweet. Dining in one of their private rooms made our celebration feel intimate and personalized. Even the valet team added to the experience by walking each of us to our vehicle with umbrellas during a light rain—pure hospitality at its finest. To top it off, we were gifted a bottle of WhistlePig 10-Year Single Barrel, exclusively bottled for The Huntsman. That thoughtful touch sealed the night as one of our most cherished family memories. Menu Highlights for Food Lovers: • Signature mains like Wood Fired Ribeye & Lobster, Guajillo Grilled South Texas Antelope, and Wild Game Lasagna • Creative preparations including Boar Bacon Wedge Salad, Fire Roasted Oysters, and Charred Octopus • A5 wagyu, elk filet, bison ribeye, and Faroe Islands salmon • Signature cocktails like The Huntsman, Black Gold, and Cafe Con Lechon • Top wine selection from Napa Valley, Paso Robles, Burgundy, and Mendoza • Vegetarian and gluten-free friendly with options like the Cauliflower Jagerschnitzel and Braised Jamaican Trumpet Mushrooms If you’re looking for a high-end dining experience with a wild twist, expertly crafted food, flawless service, and unforgettable ambiance—The Huntsman delivers. Treat your server like family, and they’ll treat you even better. We can’t wait to return. Hats off to Chef Skylar Stafford, Andrew and the whole team!

Staff were very helpful and friendly. Helped me order gluten-free. While the prices seemed high. It's probably typical of what eating out costs now. Since my boss was treating us. I didn't have to worry about it.

Our local slims have catered three events for me now and today we had lunch after church. They are a lovely crew that run our stores and I love their grilled chicken. I'm gluten-free free so their grilled chicken salad (no croutons or onions) has the best flavor. Chicken so good I don't need dressing! Definitely give them a visit soon

Lovely place to eat. We want to come back and try some other dishes. Would love to see if a dish is gluten free or could be served gluten free. Meyer lemon Creme Brulee and Salted Butterscotch Pots de Creme were amazing! Our server Artemis was wonderful.
