Our experience was fantastic. The food was amazing! My friend has a severe gluten allergy and pretty much all the food on the menu was gluten free (even the fried chicken!) and she was so excited. We went right before 6 and it was quiet and delightful but com 6:30 the crowd started to pour in and it became very loud. It was not anything that was truly bad but it did take away from the experience a little for me. Loved it though, will definitely go again!

Found this little cafe on Christmas Eve and we're glad we did. Went for breakfast. The food was very fresh and tasted great. Coffee was also very nice. Plenty of gluten free options so everyone is covered. Service was fast and attentive.

The absolute best gluten free fried chicken I’ve ever had! Great approachable vibe and the essence of “west coast comfort food”.

The tacos are great, but if you have food allergies, STAY AWAY. I have celiac, and I spoke to the server, and had a relatively high degree of confidence that I could be accommodated. But after my meal, while waiting in line for the bathroom, I observed the kitchen put slaw on a plate of flour tortillas, look at the ticket, and then proceed to dump the slaw BACK INTO THE PREP LINE. I have to do a lot of research to go to restaurants and understand that I eat out at my own risk. But a busy Chipotle manages cross contact better than this, and I did end up very sick (shocker). FOH talks a good game, but this restaurant does not take food allergies seriously, and is not safe if you have one.

I've wanted to eat here for a long time and it was worth the wait! It's a really fun place to enjoy outdoor brunch on Montana Avenue in Santa Monica. They have a few gluten-free and vegan options. It's quite tiny, so expect to wait for the restroom as there is only one.

Massilia is a French restaurant nestled in Santa Monica near third street promenade, featuring a cozy interior and an intimate patio. Our group ordered the steak frites and lamb shank and both were quite delicious. Unlike most steak frites, the steak was thicker and you were able to select the temperature as well. The fries were perfectly crispy and deliciously seasoned. You have the option to get a chimichurri or bearnaise sauce, both of which are excellent options. The lamb shank is a gluten free meal and was so soft it pulled right off to the bone! In terms of cocktails, La Française was a clear winner. Anything with St. Germain is an obvious choice. Our server was very friendly, also French, and such a delight throughout the meal service. I definitely recommend dining here for modestly priced options with great ambiance. (32/50--2024)

Vito strikes again!! I've been to both Mother Wolf and Felix in the past month, and can confidently say that Vito has BETTER pasta than both these places! I didn't even know it was possible to make gnocchi with as light and pillowy a texture as Vito does, and the pesto sauce is the creamiest and most delectable that's ever graced these tastebuds. The wait staff is incredibly friendly and fits right in with the cozy Italian atmosphere (though it can get a little loud in the main dining room). Vito himself also assured me that the entire menu is keto and gluten friendly-- I don't know how they do it! Anyone looking for a 5 star classic Italian meal must come here.
