The best gluten free pasta! Also love the aperol spritz!

Stopped here for dinner with the family after flying into Madison. Menu was great, service was friendly, and the food was delicious! They didn't mind our 3 young children being a little squirmy after sitting on a plane all afternoon. Had great Gluten Free and Vegan options on the menu. What a great place! Highly recommend!

Beautiful morning on the patio!! I love that there are gluten free pancakes! Delicious 😋 Venera was wonderful!

Food was delicious. 9/10. My personal favorite dishes included green curry and praham long song. Everyone we talked to recommended the red noodles, so definitely try those as well! I got the foco roasted coconut juice as a drink which was nice but wouldn’t re-order. To be truthful, I only got it because it had boba. The sticky mango rice as dessert was DELICIOUSSSS and a fun cultural food to try. The cream cheese wontons were exquisite. Basic, but delicious. Almost everything here can be made vegetarian and gluten free which is great if someone has dietary restrictions. Overall would definitely recommend this place, especially with parents in town as it is a little pricey for the college student budget. The service was good except they do this thing where you have a table but must go to the front and order every time and then they bring your food out to you. I was not the biggest fan as someone constantly had to get up to go order food, a drink, etc. and it broke conversation. May just be a personal preference though. My final rating is an 8/10 for the restaurant.

Good food and friendly staff. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten sensitive opinions. Tacos and stuffed burrito are great, not the enchiladas.

My wife and I spent our 5 year anniversary meal here and the food and service were outstanding. They provided free champagne for our anniversary! I have a gluten sensitivity and they had a GF menu ready for me so I didn't have to ask. Their menu perfectly describes what is GF and what is gluten sensitive friendly. The service was superb and I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great meal.

Love going to Otto's for food and music on the deck. They've got curtains and heaters if it gets cold but usually it's perfect on its own. They have a lot of gluten-free and vegetarian choices. Their wait staff are excellent, so friendly and fast that I always have to leave a nice tip. 😉

The servers were very helpful and friendly. I was able to easily adjust my meal for my food allergies- the food was tasty I love cactus! I did not become ill after eating due to cross contamination or anything despite them using a lot of corn in the kitchen which says a lot. Huzzah!! Also they have a very gluten free friendly menu - because they use a lot of corn. The cafe olla was heavenly. It is coffee with jicama and some sort of magical spice that makes it sumptuous and dessert like! The food came very quickly. The restaurant has a reasonable sized dining area and the acoustics were not terrible. It was colorful and clean. I would definitely recommend you check La Mestiza out!

They offer a gluten free menu and have attentive staff to any questions, 12/18/2024

This Red Robin is amazing. The folks are super nice. My family has celiacs in it and this is by far the best place in Madison to go and safely eat with my child. We absolutely love this place

Kim Smith

Excellent food and service. They were very helpful with allergies and celiac. Definitly reccomend!

shawn geino

Very personable, attentive server with lots of refills on drinks. Loved that they had a gluten sensitive menu. (Make sure you ask for it.) Had a Reuben with salad. Everything was hot and freshly made. Husband loved the Mayan chicken wrap and West African chicken stew. Delicious 😋 Will return.

Mandy Christman

Great food with gluten free options. Incredible farm to table burgers, locally sourced. Fabulous drink selection. The patio is lovely! The parking is difficult so give yourself a bit more time.

Tammy

Not the Weary I knew and loved anymore. I took my son out for dinner and I went home hungry. We both ordered the bad breath Burger, My son ordered his medium rare and I ordered mine well done with a gluten-free bun. We waited an hour for our food and when it arrived My son’s Burger was cooked well done and mine came with a regular bun instead of gluten-free, my son decided to eat the burger as is, they took my burger back to remake it and put it on a gluten-free Bun. When I got my burger, it was rare not well done like I ordered. It also only had a very thin slice of cream cheese, not the quarter inch slice that it used to have. Definitely not the Bob’s bad breath Burger I remember And loved. At this point, we had been there for an hour and a half and my son had another engagement to go to so we needed to leave. They offered To make my burger again Or give me a refund, I took the refund. The greens were also wilted and didn’t have dressing on them. I Will not be back, this makes me sad but the new Management just isn’t measuring up.

Ivy Hayward

Delicious food! Excellent service, even when I asked about gluten free options. The staff was well aware of allergens and celiac. My only concern was the bathroom was not very clean, but it seemed like it was caused by poor building maintenance more than anything.

Abiztic

They have a good atmosphere for meeting with coworkers after work. However, their menu and food handling does not cater well to those with dietary restrictions. If you cannot eat gluten, you will likely have to deal with cross contamination here.

Carolyn Ruck

We Came here for our anniversary brunch. Irish egg entree was excellent, as was tomato herb soup and grilled cheese on gluten-free focaccia bread. Felt very cared for by staff.

Bailey Wheelock

For a couple with one vegetarian and one gluten free person, this place is an absolute dream. We rarely actually get to share plates without making some pretty huge modifications, but we had so many options here. The prices look a little high at first glance for small plates, but really 3 plates (plus some rice and naan) did the trick for both of us. The food is phenomenal and the cocktails are unique and delicious!

Nathan Johnson

A high end place to grab bite to eat for lunch or dinner, located just off the beltline. A wide selection of dishes to choose from. Bonfyre offers salads, sandwiches, stakes, and bowls. There are vegetarian options along with gluten free as well. The veggie black bean burger is good. For a side the roasted red potatoes I would recommend. Nice open bar to sit at while you wait for your table. Good beer and cocktail selection. Service is very good, friendly, and attentive. Extra parking in the ramp is available in the back if you can't find a spot out front. It can get a bit loud when it is busy so it can be hard to hold a conversation. The cheesecake mousse dessert is amazing. Try it you won't be disappointed.

I decided to get takeout from Tavernakaya because they popped up as a place I could get gluten free fried rice. To make fried rice gluten free, usually the only modification needed is to swap out the traditional soy sauce for gluten free soy sauce, tamari, or coconut aminos. However, after digging into my fried rice, I discovered that their way of making it gluten free was simply to omit any seasoning at all. It was so bland. I ended up heading over to the nearest grocery to grab some tamari to make my leftovers palatable. By saying that you will cater to the gluten free crowd but then just making a dish devoid of any seasoning or character seems like a cop out - might be better just to not offer it at all.

Lauren Powell

The tasting menu is the way to go. They even had one ready to go that was gluten free. 5 courses plus a few additional tastes the chef selected to highlight in-season produce. The most upscale farm to table experience I've ever had.

Jennifer Gage

If you are allergic to Gluten, THIS is the place to get THE BEST whiskey ever. And it happens to be gluten free because it's from sorghum. Neat is how we do it at home most of the time, but the cocktails were on point delicious! Reallllllllly wish we could still get Queen Jennie shipped to us! Gluten allergies are super tricky with alcohol and I have relied on getting my yearly stash shipped for 10 years now. I realize they may not have control of that (we live in Hawaii now and I think our state no longer allows it) but wanted to mention it. That said the drinks were Fantastic and we were happy to be able to pick up some bottles to take home.

Chen-Ting “Tammy” Chang

The best ramen I’ve ever had! They also have gluten free option and the GF noodles are fantastic!

Sarah Kangas

Fellow millennials (and millennials at heart), these are the best sandwiches in the neighborhood! So far, I’ve had the Pork Belly and Classic sammies, both house sodas, and the tomato soup. It’s finally perfect soup weather and it absolutely hit the spot! I love the 90’s nostalgia and the friendly vibes. They also have gluten free bread that doesn’t crumble apart as soon as you touch it!

J Keehn

Loved that I was able to get a veggie burger on a gluten-free bun without an extra charge. Burger was pretty good and appeared to be made in store not a frozen patty.

V. Fohl

Take out is always hot and delicious. I eat gluten/dairy free and usually order mango chicken. Their biryani tends to be a little spicy for my kids even if ordered mild.

D M

They have great curbside service and hands down the best gluten free crust we’ve ever had. To top off the experience they finish the order when you are five minutes out so the pizza is hot when you get it! Genius

Diana

Came here looking for a chill atmosphere and good authentic Mexican food. We definitely experienced everything we came for and more! Our waitress was extremely attentive yet not overbearing. The food was super flavorful, yet not over salted. We prefer crunchy tacos, and even though that was not available on the menu, the chef went ahead and made crispy tacos out of the soft corn taco shells right on the spot. The portions were very generous, especially for the price. The prices did not break the bank by any means . GREAT freshly made margaritas. Highly recommend the tacos, margaritas, and tres leches. Lots of gluten free and vegetarian options. We will definitely be coming back!!
