Dawn Speidel

Great baked goods! Their scones are AMAZING!

Rebecca Duke

Absolutely fell in love with this place!! We were traveling and looking for a safe place to eat with celiac/severe gluten allergy as well as dairy free. The fact that Portia’s entire menu is gluten free and vegan was AMAZING so everything was completely safe!! We drank the mushroom lattes and split the breakfast burrito bowl and a waffle - the food was out of this world. Everyone on staff was so kind and in a great mood, and the space is cozy and colorful. Will definitely back if we find ourselves in Columbus again!

I can't have gluten or dairy anymore and it was a big change, haven't eaten much because I'm picky and have lost so much weight. I decided to try this place and it was phenomenal! I didn't even know this kind of food could taste this good!! I was actually able to feel satisfied after eating which doesn't happen anymore. I cried, I literally cried in the middle of eating! Thanks for the delicious food and for caring about people who have to deal with this!!

We dined here with a party of 7 following a white coat ceremony. The service was great, even though the restaurant was packed. A member of our party has significant food allergies and the waitress was knowledgeable and accommodating. She asked questions of the chef to ensure our party’s allergies were addressed. The restaurant offers a gluten free menu. Our food was excellent. Our party enjoyed dishes including Mahi Mahi, scallops, Grouper, short ribs, filet mignon, and burgers. The sides were on point and paired perfectly with the main course. We have been here before and will definitely return! Thank you to the staff, chefs and all employees at Cooper’s Hawk Restaurant, The Strand, Columbus, Ohio!

Wow the food tasted as good as it looked! Everything is vegan and gluten free but it doesn't taste like it is! We ordered the cheese plate which had so much variety and different flavors! Everything was so fresh, beautifully presented, and filling! We left with full stomachs. My favorite was the chocolate chip cookies. It was gooey but didn't leave me feeling icky like most sweets!

Stacey Preston

Great food and a good sized gluten free menu.

Ash Holbert

They are amazing with allergies. They have great gluten free pizza and a tone of options. The gluten free cookie and Sunday is amazing!

I was in Columbus for a MTG tournament, and was unfamiliar with the area. I searched for gluten free food, not expecting to find much, but I found Forno. Not only was Molly the waitress absolutely phenomenal. (And she definitely deserves a raise) My experience there was beyond amazing. I've never had a pizza so delicious, I've never had FOOD so delicious. Let alone, a GLUTEN FREE pizza! I liked Forno so much that during my weekend in Columbus I HAD to go there a second time because I wanted to experience it again before I left. 10/10 would go there again, I'd drive from Detroit to Columbus just to experience Forno again.

Tini Mueller

One of the best gluten free places I have ever been. The wait staff is so knowledgeable when it comes to gluten free, the menu is so inclusive. I love it here so much! OH and the GLUTEN FREE chicken tenders… so good!!

Julie Burkett

Great service! Great food! Appreciate the menu marking gluten-free items. Best of all, the cheesecake is gluten-free!!!

Doug King

Went here to have dinner with friends from college. There's a lot of gluten free options across the entire menu. All the entrees were nicely prepared and plated. Our server was attentive, with well paced service.

Joe was my server and he was awesome! It’s always been hard eating out while having celiac and he took my allergy into heavy consideration

My partner and I travel a lot for work. We always seek out the best vegan spots to eat. This one really blew me away. I was extremely satisfied with the customer service, the atmosphere, and the food. Wyatt took our order. He had an excellent attitude despite the line (probably because the place is delicious) and he was very helpful in helping us select a dish. I had the Frisco melt and the red velvet cake. I ate every bite! They do not skip on flavor and quality ingredients. My partner had sausage egg and cheese with gluten free bread the pumpkin loaf and Caesar salad. Usually gluten free options are scarce and hit or miss on flavor. All of these dishes were delicious. And there were plenty of gluten free options as well. Thank you for providing excellent service and food for us vegan travelers! We Highly recommend this place!

Bruce Griffin

Delicious. Great food and better service. Very gentrified hipster vibe. The majority of the menu is or can be made gluten free.

Grant Donnelly

6-1-Pho is the restaurant I most regularly frequent in Columbus. I like it a lot and the prices are good, the food is even better and the workers are always friendly. What I like about this place is the food can satisfy a meat eater, a vegan, or a gluten free person all the same. I generally get the marinated tofu pho and my partner the chicken pho- both are great and I think their broth is perfect. They started using flatter noodles which are less good than the more round noodles they used to use so I hope they switch back! I get to go and they have this down to a science- they have a good packing system that makes sure you don’t spill and the food tastes good when you get it home.

Nathan Morse

Delicious food from delightful people! Also, their soup of the day is always vegan and gluten free — so inclusive!

Justin Runyon

This was my first time in there and the food was amazing. They have a healthy selection as well gluten free options, and more very well atmosphere. Service was great as well.

Emmett J

Wow, I can't believe I haven't eaten here until now. My wife and I came here for lunch and loved it so much that we stopped by again on the same day to grab dinner. Can't wait to bring my veg and gluten-free friends!

Jennifer Fagert

The food and service were amazing, with many gluten-free and vegetarian options for those with dietary needs. The serving sizes are on the smaller side, which we preferred because we were able to finish our meals without being too full. The many of the vegetables that come with the main courses are shredded, which disappointed my mom. My mom slso ordered one of the house wines, which she said was not the best. Our server was very attentive without being overbearing and managers take the time to make sure everyone is enjoying the food, but we did wait around 40 minutes for our food. The atmosphere is VERY noisy and can quickly overstimulate people with sensory sensitivity, like myself. My parents typically do not get overstimulated and they even said it was too noisy. It was super easy to make reservations using Open Table! Overall, the food was good, but the atmosphere was way too noisy and we had to wait a while for our food.

Jennifer Noelle

Came after a show at Nationwide Arena - very convenient and walkable. Pros: They were able to get us in about 30 minutes before our reservation on a crowded night, our server was incredibly friendly and helpful, fun atmosphere. Guac, street corn and mixed drinks were delicious. Several gluten free options. Cons: three people ordered the carne asada and found the steak to be tough and chewy, almost inedible. Somewhat pricey.

Wendy Batdorf

I eat gluten free cuz it causes bad headaches and my body hurts like I have the flu & it causes belly issues for my daughter. I was in Columbus to meet a friend and googled gluten free bakery and this placed popped up. The staff member was very nice and helpful, explaining what was gluten free and preparation. I ordered 1/2 dozen donuts with various toppings. I got to my daughter's to share and on 1st bite our eyes grew wide and we both said "they aren't dense! They are light & airy!" They were sooo delicious!!! They are pricey (but what gluten free items isn't??!!!) but worth it to be eating a gf donut that tastes like a regular one. I highly recommend. I would not recommend for celiac because they do make "regular" flour donuts. We will be back!!!

Joe S.

I have been to a couple of these before and they're always very good and clean .......this one is bigger than most..... Got greeted right away when I came in sat down it wasn't very crowded at the time ......... The hostess was friendly and so was my server.,,.... I usually get the awesome avocado omelette... Each time I go into one of these places I always tell myself this time need to order something else because it all looks good but I never do I stick with my favorite each and every time...lol.... They also have added gluten-free breads which is awesome for somebody like me.....

Abby Ham

Good place! I'm not super adventurous so my meal wasn't anything great (my fault 100%). But the menus list what's Gluten Free, Vegan, Vegetarian, and what has dairy, which was great because we had three people who fell into one of those categories.

Mallory Hudson

I've been to Columbus three times and each time I make a point to come to Bonifacio. The food and cocktails are incredible and reasonably-priced. Most of the food is naturally gluten-free and I've never had a reaction due to cross contamination.

Sarah Hayden

My two best friends and I came here for our annual birthday celebration and I haven't stopped dreaming about it since! My vegetarian, gluten-free diet was easy, and my girlfriends got dishes that matched their tastes. The nachos are next-level, of course....but the DRINKS!! 💘 Delicious and effective. We had the BEST time!

Jabulani Young

The fact that a vegan Ethiopian restaurant exist , already is worth 5 stars. The gluten free 100% teff injera was icing on the cake for me. Restaurant is nice and clean and when I seen the bob Marley poster It confirmed the good vibes was present. Staff is very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend Nile vegan to any foodie .

Allison Glasgow

Their gluten free pizza is amazing!

Haylee Dupilka

We went to Rodizio for the first time during restaurant week last week. My boyfriend is a picky eater, so I was not sure how it would go. But we both LOVED it. Our sever Olivia was truly wonderful. The food was delicious! We loved everything we tried. I am allergic to gluten and this place was very accommodating. The pina colada was the best one I have had as well. We will be back!

Sahvana Boggs

Gotna drink, a bagel and a desert for under 30$ amazing food. Best gluten free I've had from a restaurant.

Andee Gearhart

I’d been wanting to try ROOH since they opened and finally got to take advantage of 614 Restaurant Week and it was wonderful! Service was attentive and friendly! The atmosphere is perfect with no blaring music and nice decor. The bathrooms are clean too. They have great cocktails, some originals and some twists on the classics. Try the Once More. 🥃 The short rib *chef kiss*. There are also good vegetarian and gluten free options and every dish we tried had depth and great flavor. Also make sure you stay for dessert!

Ella Glasgow

Such a great time today. Rose was our server. She was so kind and welcoming to us. She made our 9 year old feel included in the experience…which he loved. The gluten free burger was yummy (so glad they have the option). And since Rose was knowledgeable, she was able to steer me clear of all of the fries as they sadly are not gluten free. Our son really enjoyed his sliders. And my husband loved his Cali chicken sandwich. We’ll definitely visit this Easton location again soon!

Lauren Harris

Our server, Stephanie, was amazing, the food was absolutely incredible. An awesome option for gluten free people!

Liz Love

Love the gluten sensitive options!

Brian Michaels

Not many gluten free options and brisket was all fat and no meat.

Hannah Kahl

Super yummy! I am gluten free and I was really craving pizza. I couldn't find a place that sounded good to me and was worth what they were charging, until South Village Grille. I have wanted to go for a while now but finding out they had gluten free pizza crust was what sealed the deal! And when I say it was good I mean it! The crust tasted exactly like a normal thin crust pizza! It was wonderful and worth every penny.

Bethany George

Ive had their burgers before, which are very yummy. But a friend said “lets do breakfast here”. I was like “they have breakfast?!” They sure do!! I had the mushroom frittata, which was exquisite! And the fresh squeezed OJ was the perfect touch. My friend had the breakfast hash, as shes gluten free and dairy free. And she loved every bite. The outside patio was perfect in the morning. Highly recommend.

Madison Carr

Nice causal place to eat, offers a full bar with indoor and outdoor seating options. They do have a few gluten-free options. Their salads were amazing and came in a huge portion!

Gina

First time customer. Ordered mahi mahi tacos. When ordering I asked if the fish was breaded or grilled. You can pick so I ordered grilled. I asked if the taco shells were corn or flour. Without hesitation the waitress said they were corn. I have a wheat allergy. The food came and I was a little skeptical as the tortillas were the typical size of flour tortillas but again the waitress seemed so confident when I first asked so I decided to take a few bites but when she came to check in I asked again and she said I think they are corn but let me check. Then came back and said they were flour… I was surprised as this restaurant seemed pretty allergen friendly since they had GF bun options on the menu. I’m glad this didn’t happen to someone with Celiac.. Hopefully the menu can be more descriptive in the future and staff can be more well-versed with their menu items in regards to allergies.

Queen

Best diner in Columbus! I had this place saved in my 'want to go' list and finally found myself there. I'm blown away! The best scrambled eggs and homefries anywhere, hands down! (I'm looking at you Hang Over Easy) As if they couldn't get better, gluten-free bread is also on the menu 😋 Great service, great people, great food

Sue A Gaddam

Tasty food - not low call but good. Excellent gluten free options, too.

Nicol Ray

We celebrated National Margarita Day with a pitcher of “Mustache Rides” and we were pleasantly surprised! Don’t be fooled by the size of the pitcher, they pack a punch for sure. We do wish they would back off on the ice a bit in the pitcher allowing more of the margarita goodness to serve the 4 of us. None the less, it was a tasty concoction. As for the food, this will be one of our regular stops from now one. Queso, guac, and salsa are all highly recommended. The chips and salsa are “help yo’self”, as much as you like. Genius! The tacos slap and be sure to upgrade to Weesy-style because the goodness overtook the importance of mindful eating at that point. They go out of their way of helping you save a buck while filling your belly on Tuesdays with a price cut on their tacos and I would suggest getting in early. Be generous to the staff, they really do a great job! Atmosphere has a funky vibe and a great playlist. If you are looking for gluten-free options, you will feel right at home.

Carlos Fuller

I'm delighted that I was able to enjoy a delicious gluten-free quesadilla. It was absolutely scrumptious!

T. Unger

Called for a last minute dessert reservation. They got us in with no problem at all! How could you go wrong with a little bit of wine and chocolate! We're celiac, so gluten-free options were amazing! Definitely will be back! Thanks for the great food and service!

Brad N

Red cabbage is wonderful, as well as the spätle. I had the sauerbraten. The meat was cold and tough, and it was leftover like we did not finish it. We ate about 12 pm on Sunday. The spätle was warm with the cold beef on top. Service was wonderful. We did miss the buffet. The buffet has been removed. All ordering at this time is from the menu. Table guest ordered from the gluten-free menu only to have it served with wheat crackers. Waitress made it right. The server did not understand allergies. I will go back, though quality control on this visit was disappointing.

Bill Fennell

Worked with us and considered all of our dietary restrictions including gluten free and allergies. They were very busy and overall the food could have been better.

Margie Powelson

We had a birthday celebration with 22 of my female relatives at Mozarts yesterday and it was above and beyond our expectations. I asked to reserve a few tables and they put us in a private room, no charge! Everyone was very friendly and attentive. Their food selection pleased everyone - even the gluten free and vegans! I enjoyed the veggie quiche. I highly recommend this café for a quick bite, special treat (I got a strawberry marzipan), bridal shower, wedding, or any other special event.

Megan Weber

I came on my birthday, and was not expecting anything special, however I was very pleasantly surprised by their staff! Not only was our food great, but they surprised me with a birthday signed by their staff, some temporary tattoos and a gluten free brownie!! It was so lovely, so generous and kind. Thank you, for taking the time to make my day a bit more sweet.

John Michael Adelman

Solid beverages (their pistachio latte was really tasty) and high quality baked goods🥐 They have various dairy and gluten free options which I appreciated. My girlfriend and I got the quiche which was great but overpriced🥮 I thought it was weird that they didn't have any indoor seating for when it rains or it's overly humid outside.

Carrie Roth

Dedicated gluten free menu and anything with Anasazi bbq sauce
