Great Italian restaurant, enjoyed the good service. Really popular, whole place filled up by 6pm. I enjoyed the meatballs, portions were giant, could have fed a family. Wished there was a more keto offering, but hey it's an Italian restaurant known for good pasta dishes. Did offer gluten free pasta tho. Enjoyable.

(Gluten free be warned!) Worst experience at a restaurant. Waited 10 min at front while 3 male servers lounged around and didn't help me or ask if I needed a table. When someone finally came, they said I should sit at the bar while they were very friendly and helpful to the people behind me. I sat at the bar for another 10 min, no menu and then was told by a server that I should have used the menu online. The manager didn't care at all. I left....no menu, no water, no service after 20 min. Don't waste your time. Very disappointed in this location. Update: I went back to BJs tonight May 6, I was swiftly seated and then the server got my drinks within 10 min. I ordered the gluten-free prime rib dip and I showed the server the picture of the menu item on the online menu to be sure she understood I needed the gluten free on the glutwn sensitive menu. I was first alarmed when she asked if I wanted croutons on my gluten free meal side salad?! I got the food and it did not look like the picture, the bun was spongy like a gluten roll and not round like the picture. It looked just like the gluten containing prime rib dip on the menu, I showed the server the menu picture again indicating gluten free she took it back and then I actually got the gluten free meal. At the end of the meal I was given a bill for a regular prime rib dip with added cost of the gluten free bun, I again discussed this with her and showed her the price wich was the same as the regular....she then just changed the bill to a regular prime rib dip. Not sure if I can trust the gluten sensitive options at this location...please be warned on this.

This is our favorite breakfast place to pop into. You’ve got everything from omelettes to their specialty dishes and it never disappoints. The service is good you order the counter, they are gluten aware and have greatCoffee.

Just finished a very delicious dinner with the moms. The service was amazing! We had Ethan and Syeda and they took great care of us all night. We ordered all the appetizers, twice! They had gluten free options for one friend and vegan options for another. Great night, great ambiance!

We have been come to Juicy Ladies for quite a while now and have always been very impressed. Regardless whether you are vegan, vegetarian or neither and are just health-conscious, this is one of the best options in the whole valley! They have great burritos, the coffee is top-notch, and the lamb kabob bowl specifically is one of the best bowls we’ve ever had anywhere! So so good if you like Mediterranean flavors! There are amazing gluten-free options here and that was one of the main reasons we came originally. The coffee is expensive; however, you won’t find anywhere else (other than maybe Erewhon) that uses such an extensive list of beneficial ingredients in their coffee drinks. The people working at Juicy Ladies are always very friendly and it’s just a really nice place overall. We will continue to come back and we highly recommend it!!

I love Casaléna for lunch if you’re around Woodland Hills, and it was great going with a group because we were able to share many dishes family-style. It’s very trendy both inside and on the outdoor patio, with a variety of very cool chandelier light fixtures inside and a mostly-covered patio (although bits of sun do shine through). Now that the weather is getting cooler, outdoor dining at Casalena is the way to go. Lucky, even as a group of 8, they were able to accommodate us without a reservation with a minimal wait time. We were also able to easily find street parking nearby. Seven Must Order Dishes if you’re sharing: 1. We loved the Hamachi Crudo ($23) so much that we ordered two! It came with ponzu, serrano, and topped with crispy leek, and was a good combination of refreshing and a spice-kick with the pepper. 2. From the Lunch Specials Menu, we loved the refreshing summer Cucumber Watermelon Salad ($18) even though it’s fall. It also has lemon, feta cheese, passionfruit vinaigrette, and basil oil, and the passion fruit wasn’t as strong as I was expecting. 3. The Whipped Eggplant ($16) under the To Share section of the menu is vegan and comes with pickled pepper, pan de cristal, & olive oil, and it was so creamy and delicious. 4. The meatballs, also under the To Share section of the menu, were a crowd favorite. The Wagyu Meatballs come with ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, a significant amount of pomodoro sauce, and topped with parsley. 5. For Mains, the Butterflied Half Branzino ($29) is gluten free and comes with chimichurri & grilled lemon. The Branzino was great, especially with the chimichurri sauce, being perfectly crispy on the outside and soft meaty on the inside. 6. Another Main, the Steak Frites ($29) actually went really well with the chimichurri sauce leftover from the branzino! A hanger steak, I recommend it cooked medium or medium rare, and it comes au poivre with a large quantity of French fries. If you’re not ordering the Branzino, make sure to ask for a side of chimichurri to go with your steak. 7. The Shashuka Verde is a good brunch option if you go in the morning. This was my first time having green Shashuka (green-over-red seems to be trending in LA?) and it was good to share alongside other items to avoid having too much acidity at once. The group collectively agreed that the Limoncello Slice ($14) was the best and the Apple Tart ($14) is the second best dessert. I especially loved the sauce and fresh berries on the limoncello. The Tiramisu ($14) was too cakey and the least enjoyed by the table. While there was a good presentation on the dessert themselves, no shared plates were brought to the table even though there were 8 of us with 3 desserts. Beverage: For brunch, next time I’d like to try a coffee. The orange juice had a funny taste to it and I wasn’t able to force myself to finish it - I’d just skip that. It said it was fresh squeezed, maybe one of the oranges was on the older side? Or maybe it was a different type of orange than I’m accustomed to? The very saucey Tuna Tartar ($23) was not my fav, and wouldn’t fall on my reorder list. It came with avocado, pickled ginger, cucumber, fresno, micro cilantro, ponzu, and togarashi crisp.

The OTHELLO'S PLANT BASED KITCHEN, is a unique, delicious, order-at-the-counter restaurant. Chef Norman recreates the textures and tastes of America street foods. (There are several other dishes on the menu, lasagna and salads for example, but we came for the street food.) Junior, takes your order. He knows the menu and can make suggestions. If your diet requires Gluten-Free, just ask. Then grab a table and enjoy the crystal clear music. Your wait will be short. I ordered the Beyond Burger served on a pretzel bun. The thick sandwich is topped with sliced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, chopped sweet onion, cucumber slices, and vegan salad dressing. The generous sandwich was delicious. My companion ordered the Sloppy Joe, served on a pretzel bun with a side of coleslaw. The Sloppy Joe contains vegan "ground beef" in a slightly spicy tomato sauce, that was most satisfying. The accompanying coleslaw compliments with its cool crisp flavor. When your carry-out or eat-in order is ready, Junior double checks and supplies the utensils. STUFF: Free parking with many spaces. Lots of ADA compatible spaces. The wheelchair compatible bathroom is down the hall on the left. The earliest evidence of street food dates back to the beginning of civilization, around 10,000 years ago.

Great service our waiter was Alexis he was very attentive and friendly the food was great fresh and tasty gluten free.

Rita McGovern

I informed the server that I was gluten free, keto and sensitivity to wheat. The food tasted good. A lil pricey. For my husband and I and including the tip it was over$60.

Denisse Lopez-Arce

Food and service was amazing. I have a gluten allergy and their menu was so so gluten friendly. It was easy to get a delicious meal. The staff is very attentive to anything that we needed came to deliver the food and clear the table, they offered to go containers with without us having to ask. Definitely recommend

Came for early Sunday breakfast, brought our doggie and got a table outside right away. Staff was super friendly, scrambled eggs and gluten free toast were simple and tasty.
