Great tapas restaurant with a marked gluten-free menu. Just check with your server about cross contact issues. I love the brussel sprout salad and the chirizo wrapped dates!

We were in Chicago for business. My friend has severe allergies, gluten, nuts, strawberries, eggs. We selected Mon Ami Gabi based on options for gluten free. We made reservation and arrived about 20 minutes early. Entrance to the hotel is gorgeous. Front desk was friendly and helpful. Making sure we parked at the correct valet location (there's 2 one for residence one for restaurant. They brought us to the bar while we waited for seating. Barkeep was very friendly and very efficient. We didn't wait more then 20 minutes for our table. We were seated and we ensured they were aware of the concerns for gluten and other allergens. Waiter already was aware thanks to OpenTable reservation, I'd added a comment so they'd know ahead. They were extremely considerate pointed out the dishes that are GF. We skipped an appetizer and ordered dinner. The wait staff were friendly without being overly. Food was delivered quickly and cooked to perfection. I ordered medium rare beef and my friend ordered salmon almondine(without the almonds). Food was flavorful and delicious. Not only was our server attentive but the other staff ensured we were comfortable, well taken care of, and had everything we needed. They cleared dishes and glasses quietly while you ate without being distributive and made sure the water glasses were always full. I'd highly recommend the restaurant if you're in the area. For a Thursday the place was Busy. Reservations highly recommended. A mixture of date nights, family dinners (with younger kids) special occasions. Some folks were dressed up others in flannels and it all worked.

I am so happy we stopped here for dinner. The staff were knowledgeable and so kind to me when I told them of my gluten and dairy allergies. Service was amazing and the food was sublime. I missed eating Italian for fear of cross contamination but they reassured me pasta were cooked separately. What a lovely place! I will be revisiting when I'm back in town. Edit: Forgot to add, my husband got an Amaretto sour and he said it was the BEST one he's had.

A great place to visit if you’re gluten free! Very accommodating!

GF pita, saganaki, and more!

They were able to accommodate Celiac and had gluten free and vegetarian/pescatarian options! My dad also can't eat shellfish or pork and they could accommodate that as well. The atmosphere was great, and the servers were very well informed and attentive. I don't want to discourage anyone from trying this restaurant, some of the food wasn't exactly my taste, but I was also trying some new foods that I haven't had before. I really enjoyed the scallops and chocolate dessert pictured. The more important thing to me is I'm gluten free with Celiac and I didn't get sick, it's safe for those with gluten allergies!

I attended a baby shower held in the private back room of The Range. A delicious gluten free brunch buffet was served. Everything was hot and tasty. Especially loved the turnip omelets. I love trying new dishes. The service was spot on.

Gluten free pizza

Courtney Moushi

One of the best restaurants for Middle Eastern food. The staff and owners make you feel comfortable and welcomed and there are many dietary friendly options (vegan, vegetarian, gluten free). Lovely restaurant!

Marcia Cooley

Went with our adult kids for birthday celebrations. Delighted that all the appetizers that needed bread were enjoyed by all with their toasted gluten free bread brought alongside the naan and sourdough. Even the delicious Truffle Bucatini was prepared with gluten free pasta. The Chicken Tikka Masala and Steak & Ale Pot Pies were amazing. Service was attentive and friendly. Wish we could have had a table in the small room next to the bar area instead of being right by the bar but it the end we thoroughly enjoyed our meals

Amaaaazing Gluten Free Pizza!! I went there with my husband last night and I had their GF Pepperoni and Hot honey pizza, while he had their Macaroni pizza (forgot the exact name) and he raved about his as well. Great atmosphere, very friendly servers, highly recommend!

Emma Sipora Tyler

Quite pricey for very simple dishes (some of which were only just okay). There were a few standouts that I would definitely go back for though! My boyfriend who has celiac disease (gluten free) was able to eat here without an issue. Small menu with only a few gluten free options, but our server was very helpful and careful about his situation.

Ordered to go and pleased with the over the phone service and suggestions. The gluten free arancini were our favorite and had perfect texture. The ceviche was less convincing. Was disappointed that it wasn’t served with a chip of some kind and the best part was the oyster mushrooms but they were just a couple big piece’s on top of the beets rather than incorporated evenly. Dates were good, so was the caesar salad although a little wet. The strawberry cheesecake was disappointing. It tasted as if it was made with a puree rather than fresh strawberries and was okay at best texture/flavor wise. The restaurant looked really inviting inside and I would go back to try other items on the menu.

So good. Hash browns were amazing and so was the omelette and coffee. Great service. I got gluten free toast and it was unbelievable. Highly recommend

Jessica Long

Great service. A fun space with a classic Italian flare. Nice big tables for parties and welcome for families. The food was tasty with gluten free menu options and a decent vegetarian selection.

Camryn Slosky

I have a gluten allergy and Drew was fantastic at making sure to confirm everything that was and wasn't gluten free

John Keen

First time at this location and was blown away. Food was great especially at the price point and open windows created a cool vibe. Also appreciated the gluten free options that were delicious.

Caroline Calhoun

Some of the best tacos (fish and non-fish) I’ve ever had and MY FAVORITE MARG EVER! Awesome atmosphere and service - one of my fav places to come and sit inside or out!! Gluten free friendly!

Teresa Blunier

Great service and many gluten free/vegan choices

Amie Krueger

GLUTEN FREE BITES GREAT patio space, service was quick and kind, which is what I needed. Food was good, I prefer limes over lemons 🍋 salsas were great!

Brent T

Nice igloos outside! Service is always excellent and the drinks/food are great! Can't wait for the indoor to be open again soon. Great brunch options - needs more gluten free options but plenty of good things to choose from!

I used to frequent Kan Zaman back in the day, so when I found out the owners were opening a new concept I had to try it. Our experience at Medi was phenomenal. Our group ordered almost everything on the menu and split it family style. There was not one thing we tried that we weren’t blown away by. The food was so flavorful and the drinks were fantastic and so unique. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating for my gluten allergy and they even heated up separate oil just for me so I could have the falafel. They also gave me a veggie plate for the dips since I couldn’t have the pitas. The owner came by to see how our experience was and he ended up sitting down and chatting with us for a bit and gave us a round of shots on the house. Can’t say enough good things about this place. Highly recommend!

I always am looking for a good place to read and this cafe/bar felt like a home away from home. Bustling and vibrant with cozy nooks and reading corners, I found myself forgetting I was in America all together. I recommend for a journaling afternoon, meeting old friends, or needing to escape from modern coffee shop. And they have gluten free bread for all their sandwiches on the menu!

Kwame Davis

Great Sichuan or Szechuan cuisine. My friends took me there to try their fish soup. It was marvelous and they helped me given my gluten sensitivity.
