Ashley Kus

Gluten free, very accommodating, thorough, allergen friendly

Mattie *

The tall tables are rough for disabled people but at least there is a long ramp that is pretty usable for the entrance. Gluten free buns, great burger, nice vibes

Patrick Mallon

Service and menu are exceptional. Gluten free options are plentiful. Delicious entrees and appetizers. Our family looks forward to celebrating many occasions at Elizabeth's.

Olga Rodland

I am going to share our "great experience" at Maggie McFly’s this past week-end. Our family comes here because Maggie’s is the only place in the area with a dedicated fryer for people who can’t eat gluten. For those who don’t know, a dedicated fryer prevents cross-contamination from other fried foods that have gluten in them because it’s an additional stand-alone fryer that only has foods cooked in it that don’t have gluten in them. If you want fried foods, and can’t have gluten, you need this. My daughter and I love both their wings and fries. We also come here because they have excellent food, a huge menu that contains a ton of other gluten-free options and not gluten-free options (this helps with my other kids and just in general), and a great selection of tap beer. Our server was Haley. She was extremely knowledgeable about gluten conditions. She has a family member who has Celiac (gluten medical condition) which is what my daughter has. She did an excellent job and was so friendly and understanding. My wife and I, and my kids, highly recommend Haley and Maggie’s!!!

Dedicated fryer and very attentive staff for any and all dietary needs

First time they made food which I clearly instructed I am allergic to. Then manager said he'd personally make sure next sandwich was correct. Burger came out with wrong toppings again. No gluten at least. But the burger was so raw that I feel nauseous from taking a few bites of it. Absolutely disgusting

This is the worst gluten free pizza I've ever had, and they charge an extra $7 dollars for it! If you want GF pizza go to Next Door pizza, they have the best in the area

Amy Dionne

Large selection of Gluten Free options. Had the brisket with gluten free bacon mac and cheese and it was the best gluten free pasta I have had

Sofia Mariona-Gonzalez

This is the best gluten free pasta I've ever had !! I'm almost afraid it's too good to be true 😅

Got to try the newly (only 8 months old) cocktail bar - Hartford Flavor Cocktail Parlor tonight! Drink 1 - clarified key lime pie — a perfectly made clarified punch that’s clarified through gluten-free graham crackers. You can absolutely taste the tartness of the lime, as well as the depth of the crackers. Drink 2 - lady in red - citrus forward with deep notes of cinnamon! Delicious - would get again! Crème brûlée trio - strawberry lime, pandan, and orange — each of these were delicious and perfectly sweet, and the sugar crack was exactly what the doctor ordered! Other notes - women owned and operated, with a gorgeous female bartender! The decor is very girly pop and romantic and whimsical - great for date night or also for a date with your mother! The manager Sabrina was so kind and gave us a little mini tour, and you could see her passion for the space! They also serve food and have multiple fun spaces that you can rent out for events. The whole kitchen is gluten free so there’s no cross contamination. They also have a board game closet in case you’d like to chill!

Enjoyed a nice Valentine’s Day dinner with my Valentine here. Nice atmosphere with a few pretty floral additions and also had a rose for each couple as a parting gift. Very busy with a bit of a line when we were heading out - was happy to have made a reservation on OpenTable. Our server, Jess, was awesome. Super nice with a sense of humor to deftly counter my witty commentary. Since both Sauvignon Blancs in the glass were from New Zealand I wasn’t sure which to choose and Jess was kind enough to bring a taste of each. As we were catching up over a delicious IIPA and a glass of wine from the rather large list (but limited availability for glasses vs bottles), we noticed the music was quite loud - not sure if valentines related or typical. We started with the Farm to Table board which was yummy but should have been called Brussels Sprouts with lots (and lots) of fig jam and a hint of prosciutto. Only a couple thin slices under a mound of fried sprouts. Sprouts were voluminous and tasty but little overdone IMHO. Also needed more salt, pistachios, and burrata. For our mains, we had the Skillet Roasted Salmon and the Nachos. Salmon was very tasty. We ordered medium rare and it was definitely more cooked through. Nice sweetness in the sauce that complimented the unctuousness of the salmon. Could have used a touch more acid and more of the crunch from the pistachios. Toothsome risotto that was very squashy (in a good way)! Nachos were huge with a nice layer of melted cheese and a delicious cheese sauce in addition to the chicken. Definitely a good amount of spice - not sure if in the sauce or only from the peppers. Only criticism was the Arugula. I loves me some peppery lettuce, but just felt like an odd addition on Nachos. Actually, another complaint - Top layer was awesome but you’re left with a pile of baked naked chips underneath. Overall - great atmosphere and good food. Tons of Gluten Free options with friendly and knowledgeable staff. Thumbs up!

I met a friend here for lunch and hadn't been in so long. I forgot how amazing their food is. I got the fried chicken meal and it was to die for. Being gluten sensitive, they are able to accommodate that easily, and have separate fryers. Their food is like southern comfort food. Highly recommend. Food is better than most of the restaurants in West Hartford Center.

We ordered Hawaiian pizza and did not expect it to have pesto, which i usually love, but Sorella's pesto ruined it for the other pesto I've ever had.. like this is how pesto is SUPPOSE to taste like! Their tiramisu also!!! It melted in my mouth.. every single bite was AMAZING!!! And best of all, was my son's pizza. Vegan gluten-free White pizza. He didn't even want a plate! He insisted on eating out of the box! I had a taste of his crust because I thought it looked a bit burnt. Omg! It was delicious.. I'm so happy to find this restaurant and can't wait to try the rest of the menu. Very AUTHENTIC!!!

I have a severe gluten allergy. Two separate servers went through the menu and told me what I could eat, how things were prepped in the back and what I could substitute. They were very knowledgeable. I enjoyed foods I rarely eat as someone with a severe gluten allergy - they subbed baked corn chips on the nachos, corn tortillas for the enchiladas and gave me baked chips with my salsa. They told me everything for an allergy and celiac gets given a big card so everyone is very careful in the back. I felt comfortable ordering and eating here. Great job Sol Toro!

Always a great time! Their food is always excellent. I love their seasonal menus and their gluten free options. I also have small children. They love the food as well.

Michele Bassett

The service can be a tad slow at times, but the food is excellent with amazing gluten-free options.

Lucyna Przywara

The food was so delish!!!. They have a huge menu and were able to cater to my gluten and dairy allergy. The waitress was one of the best I’ve ever had. The restaurant doesn’t look like a five star place but the food is bangin. Me and my husband were really impressed!

Dorothy Boone

Overall, it was a fantastic evening! The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our gluten-free guest. The atmosphere was lively and added to the enjoyment. While the dipping sauces were not traditional, they were still delicious. The chef's performance was outstanding.

Valerie Frost

Our waiter was very knowledgeable about gluten free options and went out of his way for us. I am very grateful for the extra care for our food.

Maureen Palmer-Lavoie

My first time eating here. Overall a great experience. Burger was awesome! They have a separate gluten free menu, so you don't have to wonder what you can have. The kitchen is not GF, so even though they say they take precautions, there's likely cross contamination. The GF bun for my burger was actually really good. They have a pretty good selection of drinks, I had an espresso martini, it was a little pricy, but it was a nice date night out with the hubby.

Robert Christian

Nice spot close to the airport. I was in town and looked up local restaurants in the area. Roberto’s was one. Drink selection is great and Gluten Free options. I had the chicken pacatta which the chicken was tough to cut, however the mash potatoes were delicious with the cappers. Food was ok. The chili was a must have. I should’ve gotten a bowl instead of the cup.

PAUL HILL

First time visit over the weekend. A very enjoyable evening for 4(2 couples). Very spacious with plenty of seating. Choice of tables, booths, high tables and very large bar. It you're lucky enough to get the server Krystle(K no A) you will definitely enjoy your evening. She explained ordering process and suggested gluten free items on the menu. The food also didn't disappoint. I highly recommend this establishment.

Ann Wetzel

What a fun place. Reminiscent of Reading Terminal Market with an assortment of restaurant stalls. Large picnic style tables run down the middle. Fun music playing on the speakers. Had a fantastic meal at Flor Do Mar, delicious Brazilian food 100% gluten free. Loved it!

Carrie

Amazing experience. Never have I seen an Italian restaurant with so many gluten free options.

Mya Unknown

The food was amazing with lots of gluten-free options.

Doug Eberle

Inventful menu, EXCELLENT staff, and an overall comfortable atmosphere. Attentive to celiac needs.

Kelly Hennessey

My family recently held my 50TH birthday here. We had 16 people. When I tell you the service was impeccable! It was, and the food was beyond amazing. My plate was still warm when I had to pick it up to package my leftovers. I had 3 meals out of it. Would like to see more gluten-free/dairy free options in the future.

Cassandra Ares

I've been a customer of Susan's since she opened. The carefully crafted inventions (literally works of art) she creates out of food and drink are out of this world. Check out her Instagram account for some pics of her amazing creations! I also have tons of allergies and Susan has offered options for what is safe vs. not safe for me, including all gluten free options!

Unfortunately after getting sick twice, we went back with my Nima sensor and we have tested several of their items labeled gluten free with our Nima Sensor and all the foods we ordered have come back positive for gluten. We were assured by the waiter that the products themselves were gluten free so there must be cross contamination happening somewhere in the kitchen. They were very understanding of us sending the food back but I wouldn't recommend this restaurant for someone with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease.

Andrea Aanna Usami

We had a marvelous experience at Market Place this evening. Fiona, our server, was unflappable and gracious. She and the kitchen dealt with a table of 6 on a busy Saturday evening. Most importantly, though, was how Fiona made sure that all the food was safe for our daughter -- who has multiple food sensitivities. Not only was there a separate, gluten-free deep fryer, but Fiona was uniformly patient and cheerful in double-checking ingredients and making sure our necessary food modifications were handled. Thank you for making a scary, first-time in a restaurant with food-sensitivities experience safe and fun!!

Peg Bigger

We stopped after a show at the Bushnell. Red Rock Tavern was one of the few places nearby that was open late on a Sunday. We walked into the crowded bar area but we were quickly directed to the table seating beyond. Taverns/bars tend to be a bit too loud for me but the food made it worth it! I am gluten free so it can be difficult to find safe options. I asked questions and the server was able to help me find a safe meal. They all took good care of us.

Mark Boffa

Great Italian food. I honestly just go there when I am craving pasta good pasta. They have plenty of pasta dishes to choose from, including gluten free pasta if you need that. Parking can sometimes be an issue, as there is street parking, or a Rite Aid parking lot next to the restaurant that you're technically not supposed to park in. I don't think I've ever seen anyone get towed, but I also don't usually go when it's busy. Just something to consider.

Elizabeth Viau

Went for a birthday. My adult daughter loved the endless sushi boat. The gluten free options were minimal for me. I asked about the veggies included with the fried rice and was told there were asian vegetables in it. I ordered it with chicken and basically it's just a pile of rice with peas and a couple small pcs of grilled chicken. My husband got the general tso chicken (not GF) and he said it was just okay and not very filling. I told them we had a birthday but was not told of anything special they did for that. When I went to the restroom I saw a giant dragon and asked what it was for and they said birthdays. I asked for it, paid $25 for the dragon, a sign, and the dessert, but they said they don't sing. Okay it's a good photo op, but they come over with the sign, say her name, no dragon, so I had to asked the waitress, where is the dragon. So she went and got it a few minutes later. It was underwhelming at that point. The waitress was nice and attentive, it was busy on a Thursday night. It was just okay, I wouldn't go back because I don't eat sushi and that seemed like the only thing that anyone raved about in our group of 4.

The food was really good. I didn't get sick from the gluten-free stuff this is my second time in I really like the atmosphere in here.

The food was amazing and had great gluten free options.

Katharine H

This thai food is absolutely delicious! Beautiful restaurant and atmosphere. Also many gluten free options to choose from.

Nicki Chadwick

We stopped in during a weekend trip to Mystic, it was the best food and drinks we had while in town, as well as fantastic service. Cienna, our server was so awesome, hospitable, knowledgeable of nearby fun and of her menu, and skilled in her craft. The margaritas were the best in Mystic (and trust me, I tried most of them!) and the food was delicious. I am gluten free and they made sure to be careful with my food and I left without even a stomachache.

J Malo

Fantastic gluten-free options. The fish and chips was excellent. The head chef brought my meal down personally so that he could ensure I got the right thing. The older woman at the hostess station was a little rude and condescending but it didn't sour the overall experience

Chris

This was a great stop on the way home for lunch. Our child has Celiac and this restaurant has some good gluten free options. Walking in and smelling the wood burning in the stove set a good tone. The inside was beautiful with rustic touches. Our service was very good thanks to Ramone. The food was delicious. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area looking for a good meal or needing to eat gluten free with confidence.

kathybitterlimurphy

We really enjoyed Trumbull Kitchen. I feel much better eating gluten free and they have many choices for me. Thursday nights are half price bottles of wine… I ordered a simple salad with grilled shrimp and the cauliflower appetizer, FRESH, REASONABLY PRICEE & DELICIOUS!

Dave Jones

We sat outside in the historic downtown area. Glad to find some great gluten free options including meatballs and fish and chips! Thanks for making this extra effort.

Michelle Colvin

Great gluten free, dairy free burgers/rolls and topping choices. We love, love, love your SEPARATE fryer for gluten free steak fries and sweet potato fries!! Very enjoyable meal, thank you Red Robin!

scott carter

100% recommend this spot. We were fans of Joey Cs in Milford before it closed. Go on Wednesday for $20 lobster roll! Great location hidden behind a warehouse club, but all you see once you enter is he great river and marina views. One of our favorite spots. Great gluten free options as well.

Mike Ruef

The tour/tasting lasts about 20 minutes, was informative and interesting, and included 10 small tasting samples that gave me a little buzz! Tour also includes 1 cocktail which can be enjoyed in the cozy bar area, a cute outdoor patio, or refurbished warehouse area that reminded me of a southern plantation mansion. The vodka and liquors are gluten free and dairy free. They sell snacks (soft pretzels, chips and salsa, bread and butter, gelato) but you can also bring your own food. Plenty of free off street parking. Highly recommend!

Amara Sachdev

VEGAN PIZZA!!!! HORAYYYYYYY😍😍😍😍 So happy to see a amazing pizza place offering vegan and gluten free. I had to order the party size. It was very yummy and everyone was satisfied. Thank you Bloomfield Village Pizza for offering vegan cheese!!! So thoughtful!!!

giselle alicea

Food is always so flavorful and it comes out every quick. They have so many gluten free options which I love. I have been to this restaurant several times and never disappoints.
