My husband, son and I came here for a birthday dinner and it was absolutely fabulous. I could not be more pleased with the staff and the food. The restaurant itself is beautiful and it is a truly wonderful experience. I really enjoyed being here for my birthday and enjoying this overall with my son and husband and son,They even made sure not to cause contaminate with my gluten and dairy allergies and I really appreciated that kindness.

Kim Guttinger

Love having a 100% gluten free sushi spot to eat at, and such good vegetarian options as well!

I LOVE HARLOW! As someone with celiac disease, it's such peace of mind to know everything here is safe and very flavorful! I love the Outlaw scramble so much! The portion sizes are generous and I have yet to be disappointed. I've been ordering at Harlow for years now, and when my vegan friends and I need a place to accommodate all our diets this is the go-to! Thanks, Harlow!

Aidan Lerew

Honestly an amazing experience all around. The flight was to die for, the full pours were massive and not only were they able to accommodate gluten allergy but they were even able to accommodate my soy allergy as well. The wings were the best I've had since 2019 (when I wasn't aware of my allergies) Michael the chef was amazingly helpful! Definitely recommend

Anna Henning

It was a nice restaurant with good atmosphere. The staff themselves were the standout - they treated us really well and with kind attitudes. I went because I had heard they had lots of Gluten Free options, but would have liked to see more options than there were.

Nice food, nice relaxed atmosphere. Both times i went out was afternoon and not a lot of people there. Ordered the pollito bowl, very filling and good value, gluten free too. Also they don't use plastic cutlery which is a big +++ for me.

Carmichael Hill

The food is a bit pricier than competitors in the local area and according to the portion size received. However, I would not let that be the one deterrent that keeps you from patronizing the establishment. The food tastes great! Additionally, limited parking and the narrowness of the parking space can be frustrating during high peak hours. Gluten-free options are available. For patrons that are limited in mobility and in wheelchairs, the establishment does not provide unencumbered access. Can be quite the challenge to enter and exit the establishment with a wheelchair or crutches without major assistance.

Jerry Nelson

The burger was dry and over done. The one redeeming thing about the food was the gluten free bun.

I will ALWAYS recommend this place to anyone looking for a breakfast/brunch spot in Portland. The menu? Amazing. The service? So friendly. The food? Outstanding, the jam? Well, there’s a reason why it’s called JAM on Hawthorne. A friend in my party needed a gluten-free accommodation and not only was she presented with such giant GF pancakes that she couldn’t even finish, but she was also given extra toppings to-go for her leftovers which was so sweet! Street parking is a bit scarce, but the surrounding neighborhood parking is free. Just remember to pin your location or else you might forget where you parked like I did!

Dillon Rivera

Hot bar style. Grab and go food. Super good and filling. All gluten free. 100% recommend!

Terra Bēstia

EXTRA GLUTEN BABAY! This is still some of the best pizza pie in Portland!

Alex Rodriguez

Gluten free fried mozzarella. Was insane. Never would have guessed it was gf if the menu didn’t say it. Chicken parm and bolognese were top notch as well

Ami Baio

Love to be able to eat vegan and gluten free at Bamboo! Highly recommend!

Beth Jensen

Atmosphere is nice. Service was lovely. Food was not great. Both the gluten free pasta I had and the spaghetti that my husband had tasted bland like something you’d get from a jar and throw together at home when you didn’t feel like cooking. Salad was good though. Disappointed with the cost for what we actually got.

cameron

grabbed a nibble and cocktails with a friend here for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. great happy hour options. ambiance? fantastic. relaxed but nice. not trying too hard. bartender? a dream. she guided us toward the perfect cocktails when we couldn't decide. funny and cool. server? fabulous. also funny. loved her. food? the chicken sandwich was slay. generous slab of chicken on that thing. don't know how to upload the picture of the chicken sandwich from my flip phone so you'll just have to imagine it. gluten free fryer which is great for a town of intolerants. had fun, will be back

Kenneth James

Always amazing. Can’t beat gluten-free tempura.

Eric Parks

Nestled in the first floor of the Embassy Suites in downtown Portland, this very active hub has a lot to live up to. Serving great food and spirits with quality one would expect at much higher end establishments. It's very active and lively, so not the best option for a quiet experience, but fantastic if you want some of the highest quality for a surprisingly low cost. I ordered the frittata with potatoes, that came with a choice of toast. I requested gluten free bread, a side of sausage, and an Irish pick me up, (Irish coffee with an extra kick of espresso). All of which exceeded my expectations. I'm glad I stopped in, and I'm sure you will be too. However, expect a short wait as I'm not the only one that feels so highly of this spot.

Mario Santos

Good spot for some seafood...great gluten free options!

Marina Forest

Delicious food, cozy atmosphere. Candace is a gem; she's bright and personable. She was attentive, set our expectations, and helped explain the menu to us. Highly recommend for a gluten free sushi trip.

Jill

Yummy food and friendly staff. The pesto bowl is fantastic! Gluten-free and tasty. Seating can get sparse at lunchtime.

Mokihana

We met here with out of town friends on April 30, 2024; three of us are from Hawaiʻi, so it was the perfect place to meet. The food was wonderful! I had the guava chicken, which was broke da mouth, and my friend had the teriyaki ahi, which she said was perfect and was so happy that all of their shoyu is gluten free. Hubby had the Sweet & Sour Veggie Stir Fry, which he really liked. We were so busy talking that I forget what my other friend had! He pronounced it delicious. The mac salad was fantastic! Our server was outstanding! (I wish I knew his name.) He made sure we were well taken care of, was friendly and helpful, and made us feel extremely welcome. Highest praise to him; he's a real asset to the restaurant. We were there for two hours, and had so much to catch up on, but our server never rushed us. He took photos for us at our request, and did a great job with that, too. If I could give more than five stars, I would. Everything about our time there was terrific!

Jenna Robertson

Friendly staff, great vegan gluten free food. The cardamom pepper latte is wonderful.

Homan Keating

Best gluten-free carbonara pizza I have had! I will definitely be bringing my friends and family back!

Sarah Tallent

Delicious gluten free pizza, well worth the money.

Heidi Dirkse-Graw

I love this cafe! I used to live in the neighborhood and have missed it. Great gluten free sandwich today! I hear Jola will be offering dinner service starting Wednesday next week! I'll be returning on my next visit to Portland to try it out!

Guy Rien

Food was good. Nothing fancy but well done. But the service. Firstly we ordered a gluten free pizza (+$7) but was bought a regular crust. Very dangerous. And not a hint of apology but instead "I didn't take your order". The entire crew seemed to be very self- untitled

Ashli Quintela

Lydia was our server tonight and she took such great care of us, we felt like we were her own kids the way we were chatting it up tonight. She is so personable and fun. The food was spectacular! Nearly everything on this menu is actually gluten free and I was unafraid to eat 90% of this menu! Gorgeous restaurant and actually used to be a speakeasy within the area. Expand your pallet and give the Lebanese tour a chance, it’s a little bit of everything and really gives you the chance to taste it all. Really was the perfect meal for two to share and fills you up. Make sure to mention if you do have a gluten allergy as they can provide you with pita chips so you’re still included in having a dipping item for all the great sauces you will endure. Definitely will be back.

BenJ Curtis

I came here for my bday and the staff was absolutely wonderful! The food was mind blowing and I loved every moment at this place! When you put out good energy you get it back and this place was everything and more! I will be bringing everyone I know back especially cus its gluten and dairy free! Beautiful immersive top tier experience!

Izabella Page

This place is great. I think if I didn't have to be gluten free it would be amazing. Since I am, I'm saying it was good/great. (Wish they had Tamari!) Beautiful restaurant interior. I don't love having to stand in line to order as sometimes the lines are really long but maybe it's different now that things are more open post pandemic. The outdoor booths are cute but I haven't sat in them yet. Drinks are excellent too!!

Geinos

Fantastic pasta and pizza. Inside you’ll encounter an old school vibes retro bar with handsome chairs. Great take out with the best hand rolled gnocchi’s, small dough dumplings boiled and rolled into a delicious sauce. Also my favorite gluten free crust for pizza in Portland, Oregon!

Chrissy Andersen

Good burgers and we appreciate the choices of gluten free buns and chicken burgers. Our server Xaykham was awesome!!

I keep walking by this spot and I finally went in to grab some of their brunch sandwiches to go. They had a really solid gluten free option for my partner and we liked it so much we went back for dinner! The empanadas were incredible and so many bonus points for the gluten free options. Will definitely be back!

Amy Kapuanani Antonio

Muhammad was an excellent server and listed all the items on the menu I could have since I begrudgingly just turned gluten free. I ordered the Veggie Hash with poached eggs and while it could have had more veggies and a touch more flavor, it was yummy. The cocktails were delicious and my guest loved the champagne Muhammed picked out for her. Overall a lovely time.

Kevin Oyama

Tasty with gluten free options; friendly staff and clean inviting atmosphere. Will return for sure!

penny wells

The Gluten-free pizza is pretty good

Falin

Absolutely delicious and worth the price! The soup was amazing and the pasta was SO good! Also amazing gluten free pasta options!

Ren Prince

I'd give more stars if I could! The staff was very kind, the restaurant was cute, and the food was absolutely incredible. I have celiac disease but there were tons of gluten free options (the gf pita was divine). I also accidentally left my phone in the booth after dinner, but they went out of their way to catch up to me and make sure I didn't leave it behind. A wonderful experience and I will definitely be back.

Anna Walker

My partner and I LOVE fireside and all of their staff! We enjoy their burgers and cocktails the most. I have celiac disease and they are very accommodating, their gluten free buns are great. My only complaint is that it is quite pricey but it is worth the splurge.

Church Bar is born again and this revival is well worth the wait! The NEW Church Bar was resurrected and opened on April 15, 2022 I am in awe of the new owners (Lauren and Anthony) for all their dedication to beautifying Church Bar!! They have put heir heart and souls into completely updating the interior and rebranding Church. Their attention to detail is glorious! Their carefully created cocktail list is diverse and offers a little bit of something for everyone. They also have a wide spectrum of draft beers as well as seltzer and cider offerings. Their daily slushies are joyous and tasty! Their food menu is great with a little of something for everyone! I LOVE everything on the menu and trust me, I’ve tried everything!! I love to start with the delectable deviled eggs and the tantalizing sacred nuts! Mercy me! The ribletts and Shoestring Sweet Onions (V/GF) are two of my absolute favorite go-tos! The shoestring fries are thinly sliced onions marinated in buttermilk,dredged in seasoned flour then fried, served with ranch dressing. Every time I eat them, I am certain that I am in culinary heaven. The Fried Spaghetti Squash (Roasted spaghetti squash, herbs, mixed cheese, leeks served with smoked tomato sauce) is another favorite of mine! They have plenty of gluten-free and vegan options available. They also have occasional food pop-up such as Trinidad and ??? Food. Check out their Instagram for PopUp info #churchbarpdx Check out the ceiling- it’s unique representation of the Sistine Chapel! And the bar top is a beautiful “river” of color. The new owners had it custom coded yes one more unique beautiful aspect of the newly reborn Church Bar! The “confessional” is a photo booth. We’ve made so many fun memories in the “confessional” Church has a huge array DJ’s that provide lively dancing music every night. They have extended their hours and hours constantly reinventing themselves. They’ve added trivia on Wednesday nights and they have a fairly regular stream of pop up food options. Follow them on social media for updates, special events, pop-up info The revival of Church Bar is awe-inspiring! Huge shout out to all the friends, family and customers that continue to support Church Bar - especially during this seemingly never ending pandemic purgatory. I beseech you to join me in helping making Church Bar hugely successful. I have faith that their efforts will payoff in dividends and they will have faithful followers. Eat + Drink + Repent Time to repent! Father forgive me for I may have drinking on a Thursday! #churchbarpdx

Angela McIlvain

Love this spot! We’ve got a one y/o and this happy hour became tradition after all our appointments at providence. We’re rarely the only ones with a kid, which is nice to not feel like weirdos bringing our kid to a tavern. But I’ve never witnessed any meltdowns. This is a spot for chill kids haha. They’ve got a few high chairs. I always get the lamb burger off the standard menu even at HH cuz it’s so good 🤤 I’m gluten free and they’re super helpful. They’ve got GF buns. The kale salad (no croutons) has gotten even better lately!! The fryer is apparently cross-contaminated with gluten (from fish n chips, etc), but I personally haven’t had an issue with their french fries. No promises for you tho 🤷🏻‍♀️ Good rotating draft selection. They always have either a cider or a seltzer on tap for GF. Cocktails are solid!

Mari Kim

Glad to make it to the original Lardo. Vietnamese meatball sandwich and same as a gluten free (without the bun) on a bed for amazing fries (one of the gluten-free options). Crunchy salad was so fresh and delicious. Service was welcoming and excellent; locals were charming and friendly.

Jacqueline Brooks

Excellent food - everything from the fries to the salads is delicious. Great cocktails too! The happy hour is one of the best in town. I do wish there were just a few more gluten-free options, but I can't complain that much because they have this gf warm chocolate brownie that I would sell my soul for.

Sarah Archuleta

We had truly one of the worst customer service experiences ever at this place. We had the rudest waitress. Our large party called ahead of time to request to go over the normal allowed limit. Our request was approved but the waitress who had us was PISSED at our table size despite us being kind customers. She scoffed at two of us for asking for gluten free options. At the end, our group organizer asked her if we had upset her and she said “ACTUALLY yes, you are breaking our table size rule” and went off about it, then told us she wouldn’t continue taking care of us and we had a switch off of servers. The whole table was appalled. We ordered plenty of dishes with a large check and were friendly. Our two families will never recommend this place because of this waitress

Natalie Lane

Great gluten free options, and was mindful of my celiac

Kristi Dille

Busy night and still managed to be seated within 20 minutes. Great gluten free selection. Love the vibe!

Ben R

Delicious, fresh and great quality food and reasonable prices. I had the Tropicale salad with added steak pieces and it was amazing! I’m not gluten sensitive, but lots of options for those who are. Highly recommend and will definitely go back to try the other stuff. Thank you 😋

Esther Rogers

The waiter was beyond knowledgeable, turns out he was the owner. Food great. The menu could use more vegan and gluten-free options. The drinks are amazing. Great experience for our group!

Dave

Really good local Japanese food. Huge sake selection, including flights, gluten free sushi and soy sauce, and a great variety of non fish dishes of you prefer to dine on swine

Emily Williams

Tonight was an awful experience. My order was wrong twice. I ordered corn tortilla tacos and got flour. I’m gluten intolerant so I had to send it back which I hate to do. When the corn tacos came back they were the wrong tacos. I seriously hate to complain, and had to ask the server to just take it off the bill since it was too late and I didn’t want to have to have them remake again. The manger OJ came back and wanted to prove us wrong. And argued with us and said that we were wrong when even our sever admitted the original order was flour tortillas. I understand accidents happen and I wasn’t upset I just didn’t want to pay for something I couldn’t eat. OJ is extremely unprofessional and rude. Matador use to be one of my favorite restaurants and after tonight I won’t be back. The way OJ handled the situation was completely out of line.
