Plenty of gluten free and vegan options. The food was fresh and tasted good. They have good milkshakes as well.

Went here after finding out one of our favorite restaurants in Cleveland was closed. Was really looking forward to trying this place as we always go up to cleveland and pass this place. The only good thing about this place was the view from the table. Food was pricey, and the menu was hard to read if you didn't know Spanish. They do offer gluten-free and vegan options. The food was not as good as I was hoping. The meat in the tacos was really weird and tasted dried. One of the people I was with ordered the burrito which had bison shoulder in the burrito and said the meat was veiny. Our drinks were filled up once right before we left due to our waitor not wanting to come back to our table. The booth we were sat in had a big tear and was wondering how that was possible when the food was so overpriced. The plates that had our food was on was chipped in areas. Super disappointed! Will not be back!

Very cute place, I would love to hang out there but I was just moving through and grabbed a cinnamon sugar cookie that happened to be gluten free. If they make a cookie that dope, I figure I need to come back for some coffee!! It was THAT good! Thanks y’all ❤️❤️🙏

A cute taco place that has a build your own style of taco menu. This was my second time visiting while in Cleveland. I better understood what to order. I personally had a shrimp taco and the steak taco and a basic ground sirloin beef taco. Being gluten free I selected the gluten free corn hard shells. They were some of the best I've had. Both taco combinations I created were good. The shrimp I wish I would have gotten 2 of instead of the ground sirloin. I wasn't a huge fan of the meat. I am also very picky about my ground beef and it was not for me. I added the cilantro lime aoli cream and quesa fresca cheese to my shrimp taco. My only complaint would be, they barely put any cheese on it. I almost thought my tacos didn't have any on them. The steak was slightly tough but not bad. I probably wouldn't get it again. I'd definitely order the shrimp combo again and try another combination. They offer a lot of variety in meats and toppings for the taco. You can also get them in a bowl. I didn't order one but their margarita flights looked yummy. Definitely recommend this place if you are in downtown Cleveland. My sister order the chips and queso dip and I tried the queso and it was good.

We were in Cleveland for a quick trip and needed a good restaurant for gluten-free food. I googled restaurants on our path, and this restaurant was suggested. We arrived about 1pm and did not have to wait to be seated. Our server, Bianka, immediately came to take care of us. She very thoroughly went over gluten-free options and even checked with the kitchen to make sure what we wanted was gluten-free. We did have to wait a bit for our food, but when we got it, we understood. This was hands down the best lunch we have ever had. My mom had the burger and fries. She said they were the best fries she had ever had. I had the lamb stew, and I was in food heaven. Overall, this was an amazing experience. We lived the atmosphere, our server, and the food. We will be back.

I have visited Punch Bowl Social for the second time and I will definitely be returning again! The service is excellent and the food is amazing! They offer a wide variety of gluten-free options on their menu.

Raygan Bingham

Ramin is the most amazing waiter and was so considerate about the gluten intolerances at our table. Amazing food and service!!

Eve Nicholas

I love this place! The food here is extremely healthy and very accommodating to my dietary restrictions including gluten and dairy. The staff is so welcoming and nice and made the entire experience so much better. 10/10 would come back.

I absolutely LOVE it here. My husband and I just recently discovered 27 Club after picking up the latest copy of Scene Magazine. Due to medical conditions, I frustratingly have to avoid both gluten and dairy. This limits my options at most restaurants & cafes. When I saw the menu here, I was stunned. We got a Margherita pizza with vegan cheese and gluten free crust…it was the best I’ve ever had! My husband, who does NOT have dietary restrictions, said he couldn’t even tell that it was gluten free or dairy free. The drinks are gorgeous. I highly recommend the pink milk latte with oat milk! Make sure you pick up some merch and do not miss the vegan + gluten free desserts that are on the counter, off to the side. We tried the donuts and not only were they tasty, but they weren’t too heavy. I left feeling great. This is a must-visit for the sensitive stomach girlies! Parking is surprisingly decent for the location. Atmosphere is social media worthy and very on brand for MGK. Already looking forward to going back.

Everything here was exceptional! The food , the service, and the atmosphere. The kitchen and staff went above and beyond to accommodate my gluten allergy and even prepared GF bread to accompany my salad. Definitely recommend and hope to return soon

Good selection of German cuisine. Excellent beer selection. Excellent waitstaff. Slightly overpriced for what you get but near to Playhouse Square so not unexpected. Surprising amount of gluten-free items if that is your need or preference.

We were greeted by Danita who was very polite and welcoming. She made small talk and did he job as a hostess. Our server Laura, who was very attentive, guided us through the menu and also made sure to address my gluten restrictions. It's the small things that really speak volumes. The restaurant was pretty dead for a Saturday night. There were just two other tables besides us. We started with the truffle parmessan Brussel Sprouts and they were delicious. I ordered the Grilled Akura Salmon. I would say that it was a solid 6. Basically it's just a grilled piece of Salmon with asparagus on a top of a saffron corn cream which was not very flavorful. My friend got a black bean burger and she seemed to have enjoyed it. We also got a few drinks. Initially we got the turn which was okay. If you like a good balance of liquor to mix I would stay away from this. The simple syrup took over the flavor. My friend Initially ordered The Cle upon the servers suggestion but it was really sour. She ended up ordering Summer Thyme in Cleveland and she suggested that I bet the Blueberry Hill since the Turn was just subpar and I want drinking it. I told her that I was fine and didn't want to send it back but ended up ordering the blueberry hill which was really good if you like bourbon. Overall the experience and great and the atmosphere was very nice though people checking into the hotel did get a bit annoying.

Very pricey but they take your allergens seriously and are happy to make you just about anything in a safe way

A flavorful extravaganza! Cordelia is one of the most underrated restaurants in Cleveland, period. It has been a few years since I've been on East 4th Street. I remember this used to be Lola's, which had an incredible duck dish. Cordelia's belly-up menu is sensational. It's a six to eight course meal. Each dish is brought out by a chef as they describe in detail exactly how the food was prepared and what to expect while eating it. This was my first time dining here and I was not disappointed. This is a from scratch kitchen so each dish is prepared to order and the menu is constantly changing so week to week or month to month the flavors will vary. This is definitely an experience you have to try more than once throughout the year and season to see what intensely bold and flavorful concoctions the chefs will curate for your dining experience. The ambiance was perfect for us millennials as they were playing early 2000s and 90s hip-hop and R&B. It felt like we were getting our own personalized concert as we were just jamming and enjoying some great quality food. With so many amazing entrees, the highlight for the evening for me was certainly the lamb that was perfectly seasoned. Easily the most succulent protein that I've ever had. Each bite melted into your mouth and the dish was paired alongside a bed of roasted carrots with a yogurt sauce that was a great complement. Right when I thought the savory floodgates were over they brought out their signature pork belly. Which by this point our belly’s were quite literally up and over or belts with no room left. They kindly boxed up the last entree for us and brought out the final course. The first dessert we shared a gluten free pudding with rice cake, caramel and bit of an espresso topping. The second dessert was an all spice forward ice cream with apples and puff pastry. Both delicious. It was a delightful and truly one of a kind experience right in the heart of downtown Cleveland. That’s enough reading long reviews lol go reserve a table now and bring all the appetite you can muster; you’re going to need it.

Top notch. Vegan, gluten free, and meat options. Everyone could eat happy here

A.Elizabeth Orley

Allergy Friendly! Great staff, great food, great atmosphere! We love it here! VEGAN AND GLUTEN-FREE OPTIONS!

Ben Sager

This place is very nice. Very accommodating and knowledgeable of gluten free. The manager even made sure the remade my breakfast sandwich when they realized it was cut with the wrong knife. I would recommend to anyone for breakfast or brunch.

Taylor Freeman

Kis was great! I have a gluten intolerance and she went above and beyond to make sure my tacos were safe for me! She was very friendly and explained everything very well!!!

Helen Ertin

So to be fair, I’ve never actually been here in person - BUT I had a coupon for DoorDash and I stumbled upon Milk + Honey. I was so happy to see they offer gluten-free options! The drinks are BEYOND beautiful and delicious. The breakfast bagels are reasonably priced. If you love coffee and tea, you’ll love the creative drinks!

Kayla McGhee

We came to Cleveland for a show at playhouse square. This place was within walking distance and had gluten free pizza! It is bar far one of the best gluten free pizzas we have ever had!! so good.

Megan Stephenson

Food is good but not worth the high price. They do have gluten free and are understanding of allergies, and their patio on the river is beautiful.

Colleen Botkin

Went on Saturday night before a show and had an outstanding experience. Our server, Dorothy, was on it! She was helpful and knowledgeable about the menu, especially the gluten-free options. Everything was delicious! Calamari appetizer was outstanding. So happy with the experience, can't wait to go back and try more on the menu. It's always great when you have dietary restrictions, to have a hard time deciding on what to order because there are so many great options available. Well done, District!

Jessica Urbanawiz

Absolutely fantastic service on 11/10. *Ryan S* was our server and he was extremely polite and attentive. Ask for him and you will not be disappointed! We had the breakfast buffet which was very well done. $21 including coffee and juice is a fantastic price. We split a made to order omelet that was the best I’ve had. The buffet was well stocked. Smoked salmon, capers, thick French toast, very fresh fruit, gluten free and vegetarian friendly options.
