This was a truly amazing meal!! Fish of the day was Halibut and prepared gluten free. It was so good. My son had gluten free Fish & Chips - first time and is hooked!! We saved room for dessert of a cheesecake that is something we will get again this weekend! Of course gluten free!! Amber was so kind and took great care of us! The place is cozy and great atmosphere!! We will eat again there soon. **To note- my son and I both have Celiac Disease and had no issues. Truly gluten free!!

Such yummy sandwiches! Made GF with a biscuit that didn’t crumble or taste dry

Hannah Young

The gal at the register was great. Kind, informative and patient, also fun! My biscuit was great- so thankful for a good gluten free biscuit!! The sandwich was tasty and I wish I could grab these more often. Outside, you order at the window and wait for your to-go order. Not really seating- which I didn’t realize in advance.

Brownie, with their version of nut-free peanut butter, was INSANELY good. Loved this place. Dropped some $ on a selection of their goodies. Nothing has disappointed *chefs kiss* If you are in Seattle, and want/need gluten free, go here.

Key Kuran

Service was nice, coffee was good but to people who eat gluten free I'd skip this place. Got the gf cinnamon rolls and gf pecan muffin both were bad. I've had really good gf before and this was a mixture of dry with dense and bland, not good. Flavor was good on the muffin but it was so dry. The non gf items looked good but if you have a gluten intolerance or celiac I'd find somewhere else to eat.

Only a couple dishes could be made gluten free and none of the desserts could really be modified to gluten free. Even so the pasta sauce was delicious and made up for the lack of options. We had a dessert red wine (recioto della valpolicella) that was absolutely delicious, the chocolate notes were mouthwatering. Even so for the price and the serving sizes I probably wouldn’t go back, especially if you have a food allergy.

Honestly was pretty disappointed in this place. Had been thinking of checking it out for a while with my partner who has celiac disease. Our server was great, knowledgeable and able identify gluten free items and get us gluten free chips. First off the restaurant seemed fairly busy and our server seemed to be the only one working the floor plus someone behind the bar. She did a great job considering how much she had to handle. Our three margaritas took 15+ minutes, though they were delicious. I had the blood orange flavor. For dinner I had the beef in chile Colorado burrito and it was FULL of rice and pickled jalapeño, I assumed there would be sauce/beef visible inside but I only found a small amount of meat closer to the center. My partner had the pollo asada plate and enjoyed it though also felt it took very long for what we got. Overall I appreciate the attention to gf/celiac options but I don’t think I will be returning here considering the price and quality.

All day and every day yes. I told myself I was going to be adventurous and not order their signature paella, but I ordered the paella 😀 The flavors and seafood was cooked to perfection, and I had enough to bring some home as well. I only wish that I had that char rice/ socarrat though there was like a little of it around the top of the paella pan. The wait staff was so attentive and recommended a delicious red (since I asked for red and enjoying their sangria) to go with the paella, so when she said it also tasted good with the gluten free cake I had to say yes. She spoke to me of her dreams of getting her sommelier certification- which I think she's already there!!

Great cafe in belltown! Organic and super clean ingredients. The owner was very nice and helped me order for dairy free. They have many gluten free and vegan out also do halal meat. Service was excellent and the atmosphere very comfortable. Plenty of seating and a good array of healthy options on the menu. Plenty of street parking and easy walk from public transit. Bathrooms available.

Stephanie Brown

Great gf options! Would come back

Traci Reuter

Had a wonderful meal here while in Seattle for business. Needed to take clients somewhere nice but also safe for me to eat with Celiac. Menu was clearly marked Gluten Free and both hostess and wait staff made extra notes that I had celiac. There is a decent amount of gluten free options to enjoy and not be left feeling like there’s only one or two things on the menu you can order. Had zero issues after eating and 12 hours later still feeling good. Atmosphere was awesome, oysters were fresh and amazing and the Scallops and Prawns were flavorful and delicious. Great meal and great night out.

Hales Emerson

A few things: 1) loved the affirming environment and good vibes. Happy pride! 2) the wait for food was SIGNIFICANTLY longer than what we were told/what the sign said upon arrival. We even ordered ahead. Instead of 30 mins, it took over an hour to get our food. It was good, but not good enough to take that amount of time to make... 3) the small amount of seating outside consisted of rickety little chairs and tables, which are great for smaller folks, but not inclusive for bigger folks, or those with disabilities. This was disappointing. 4) the gluten free biscuit my partner got was like a dense, starchy, hockey puck. Do not recommend. I think there are definitely some improvements that could be made to this restaurant's operations.

Olivia Walliser

I was in Seattle for a conference and came to Tidal twice because it was so good. The oysters, fish and chips, cocktails, and even desserts were phenomenal. Clearly, because I had to come back for their weekend breakfast (not pictured because I ate it so quickly). A special thank you to Veasita, George, and Manty (I apologize if I misspelled names). They were so helpful, personable, and charming. Next time I am in Seattle I will be back for happy hour! I only wish I didn’t leave before the shuck and sip class, I would have been the first to sign up. Note: AMAZING gluten free options here!

Terri Wright

This was a great find for us. The drinks were perfectly made. The food was exceptional. The best part was the service. We had 1 person in our group who was Gluten-free/Siliac. The chef and manager both came out to make sure they fully understood his diet and needs. They must have nailed it. He wasn't in pain before we left the restaurant or during the remainder of our evening. How many restaurants can say they care that much to make sure they get you and your health 100%? Very impressive!! I would highly recommend them for this very reason.

Jennifer Lake

AMAZING!! Gluten free options and lovely food. A true find!!

Sea

dedicated gluten free and celiac safe, although they dont advertize it

nic “Wandering Kiltsman” cornett

Of all the places I ate on my 10 day vacation, this was, by far and wide, the best food and atmosphere experience. The server was very knowledgeable about allergies and made sure my Celiac self did not get glutened. I will gladly go back the next time I'm in Seattle.

Kim Lloyd

Wonderful service and the best pesto I have had in a long time. (Good) Gluten free pizza available! Full bar :)

Kelsey Brown

Amazing experience. Great prices. Gluten free options. The night manager or owner, Mark, was so amazing. So personable and so kind.

Jordan Cascade

Restraint was so cute, and Ii love the design for starters. It's very Instagram friendly while still feeling family owned. The food was fantastic, and they were so accommodating to food allergies (with Vegan, Vegetarian, and No Gluten/ Wheat emblems on each dish - Including Spice Level as well). Though, I will note it likely isn't the best establishment for people with severe peanut allergies. As many dishes do have peanuts.The food came out really quick for being prepared as ordered as well. Lastly, the multiple workers came around and checked if everything tasted well and we were attended to. Even the, or what I assume to be, owner came out and made sure things were okay (which she was very sweet and kind too everyone - ran outside to thank me for my nice message on the recipe [made my day]). Overall, would go back when I'm in town, it was very delicious.

Gloria Wu

Highly recommend for the quality of the food and ambience of restaurant. Great vegan and gluten free options. I loved trying the Aloo tiki appetizer (comes with 2 medium-sized potato patties with mint chutney and tamarind sauce) and Okra Masala (comes with basmati rice). I got it mild and it really was not spicy at all! :)

Lucy Rose

Gluten free has never been available any time I’ve tried, they need to take it off the menu at this point :(

Kelsey Osborne

The employees said that none of the food has gluten in it except the pastries that are on the counter in a bin. It was delicious and we were surprised there wasn’t a long line; we will definitely go back!

Kathleen McNalty

Nice atmosphere and talented waiter. Food was disappointing. The Milanese was tough, the side dish of kale had an identity crisis not knowing if it was cooked or raw, the apples on the kale were very firm, again some uncertainty whether they were intended to be cooked or raw. The dish ate very dry. The orecchiette had a decent sauce but the pasta was overcooked. The arugula salad was a bag of greens with salad dressing. On the positive side, the salad was not overdressed and the dressing was distributed evenly over the salad. We did not get the soft egg offered with the salad, perhaps that would have improved it. The restaurant was crowded so seems popular with other diners. They offered gluten free options which was helpful to some in our party.

Elizabeth C

We went here twice during our weekend visit in Seattle because it was such a wonderful experience. The food was incredible and the service was amazing. Both nights the servers were very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Both of us needing gluten free options, we were easily able to find something that worked for us. The seasonal watermelon salad was so delicious and the presentation of everything was just beautiful. Highly recommend this place!

Tausha Brubaker

Celiac here visiting and we loved everything about this place! No cross contamination issues, sausages were great and dedicated fryer with yummy fries. Service good as well!

Kara Mulvey

We went there two days in a row, it was the good! I have celiacs and Jackie was extremely knowledgeable and careful about it. Helped communicate to the staff. I highly recommend.

Adriana Perrusquia

Great place to eat after going out at Capitol Hill! I liked their waffles and hot chocolate. I have a gluten allergy so the fact that they had a waffle option had me stoked! I couldn't even tell it was gluten friendly

Misty White

This cute little cafe is so close to Pike Place Market and food is excellent. Our service was phenomenal, staff is very attentive. I ordered crab Benedict and it was amazing!! Husband ordered biscuits and gravy and enjoyed his food as well. My daughters ordered the Belgian waffle and were quite pleased. Enjoyed a mimosa, special of the day. I also enjoyed the Nutella mocha and it was absolutely delightful, not overly sweet at all but that’s how I enjoy it best. Wait time was minimal. Definitely recommend. I didn’t notice anything dedicated gluten free, but there were items to order that typically don’t have gluten in them naturally.

Tony Smith

We stopped by on our vacation to celebrate my partner's 40th birthday. We snagged a spot at the bar and had two outstanding bartenders. (I wish I could remember their names, but I terrible with names. They were amazing and deserve personal recognition.) The food, drinks, and desert were outstanding. My partner has Celiac, and this trip has been hit and miss with gf restaurants. Shaker+Spear had great food and drinks for both of us as well as great service. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a great seafood place to eat.

Hailey

Lovely restaurant. We waited a while for our server, but eventually got some drinks from the hostess. They DO NOT have gluten free bread contrary to another review. The mimosa was good. I loved the breakfast potatoes, extra crispy.

Sebastian Velasco

Great vegan and gluten-free options, lively and authentic Seattle atmosphere, with excellent customer service. Will definitely be coming back; especially with family or friends requiring different dietary options but still wanting delicious food.

Joy Laydbak

The rotating wine selection here is the real deal. Always interesting options and never bad wine. Service is good. My only complaint is a lack of gluten free food, so I've never eaten here. I just come for the drink

Brandy Downs

How Fern doesn't have 5 stars I do not understand... Me, and at least four of my co-workers here at Supergenius Tattoo order from them every single week. Twice a week for some of us. I have never in my life had Sweet & Sour Chicken knock my socks off... and last week, it was the Garlic Lovers with chicken! Mind blowing. The homies get the Crispy Garlic Chicken religiously- and I've devoured the Phad Thai, and Pad Kee Mao as well. The flavor is absolutely sensational, every time. (and the S&S, and Garlic Lovers, and Phad Thai, are gluten free!)

Brandon Rouge

Awesome healthy plant based food made with organic ingredients and quick, friendly service. I recommended the gluten-free/vegan classic Italian pizza and the mango lover Smoothie.

Ashlee H

This place was fantastic. Cozy atmosphere with friendly service. We got their patty melt and a blackened chicken sandwich. Both were delicious. The chicken sandwich had such a great flavor combo. The buns were also delicious. They also had gluten free buns if you are GF and gluten free fish and chips (and more) in addition to vegetarian options. The fries were different and so tasty. We started with stuffed dates which are always my favorite. Will definitely be back here.

Quinn Schiller (Quinn Schiller)

The chai granola is gluten free and vegan

Mikey

Amazing food and a wonderful staff! Gluten free accommodations readily available.

Elizabeth J

Amazing food! We grabbed breakfast from here since it’s hard to find gluten free breakfast options and this was a fantastic option.

Haley Semo

Love this little spot near work. They have gluten free options (including oatmeal and scrambles) as well as awesome coffee. My coworkers and I enjoy walking over here to grab some coffee, fresh air, and a quick bite during the work day. Great food and drinks!

Lisa Cook

I had lunch with friends today for the first time at Kokos in Capitol Hill We ordered the guacamole and chips, ahi sashimi, and chopped salads, along with a couple of Cadillac margaritas—everything was excellent. The sashimi was fresh with just the right amount of jalapeño and pickled onion. A friend of mine is gluten free and pescatarian and we struggle to find places to eat out but this menu had a lot of options for her. The ambiance was spot-on for the restaurant’s vibe, with lots of natural light, cool lamps, and a cool winged dog statue in the bar that added to the character. The music was a bit loud but not overwhelming. The only minor drawback was the service, which was a bit slow, as the hostess was also juggling table service and making non-cocktail drinks. That said, it wasn’t unbearable, and the quality of the food and drinks more than made up for it. Overall, great food, great drinks, and a fun atmosphere—I’ll definitely be back!

Hanna Hondzo

Got the avocado toast on gf bread. They also had a great gf corn biscuit thing. Cool atmosphere and vibe inside.

Savannah Camp

Yummy dinner and such friendly staff no matter the time of day! Had breakfast, dinner and dessert here in three separate days, and each time the staff has been wonderful and I highly recommend the gluten-free pasta, and do give the interesting flavor combo ice cream a try.

Willow Stride

The food was so good, as a celiac it was so refreshing to be able to eat food without fear of cross contamination. though as a Canadian visiting my friend wasn't expecting the big portion even with the side and non entree dishes, the texture of the mac and cheese was ... off.

Jac and the making of

Delicious coffee and tasty breakfast! Super friendly and amazing staff. Gluten free options and comfortable seating.

Aubrey Hanna

Look im sure if I wasn't allergic to gluten this place would be lovely unfortunately I have celiac and there false advertising of saying they have gluten free food when there is high cross contamination there fried "gluten free food" is in a shared fryer there gluten free salads which i ordered still made me sick and I believe it's because there is no care for allergies within this restaurant I hope they can change there menu to gluten friendly since that is more accurate description because currently there false advertisements is frustrating if not infuriating.

Don Robert Pornaras

You really can't go wrong here! Amazing views, great food, and awesome service. Highly recommended for tourists visiting Pike Place market. Make sure to get a seat by the window for the best view of the sound. There are multiple entrances in case one of them is locked when you get there, and the seating area next to the restaurant is also restaurant seating! One good vegan option, and two good vegetarian options, one of which is gluten free.

Keith Malone

I found this place while visiting. I have a sensitivity to wheat, I was disappointed to see only two dishes that are gluten-free. Despite the fact that there are only two options on the menu, they were quite good: the sweet and sour cucumbers and the hot and sour glass noodles. LOVED them.

Saggio Ricercatore

Lived up to the hype and then some. Menu was thoughtful, service knowledgeable and friendly, chef very accommodating of gluten free adjustments (had gf pasta and bread available and open to substitutions even on happy hour menu), portions were shareable, food was delectable locavore fare, drinks were innovative, and waterfront view was the cherry on top. Overall a luxurious experience at a reasonable price point. Lovely lunch with friend after the SAM Hokusai exhibit - this will be a new tradition. Park 1 block up hill at the garage on Union (under the SAM) or use valet. We were able to book table for 2 with a view with a phone call at 2.30pm on Saturday - less than 5 minute wait. Recommend reservations for peak times.

Ma Ana Theresa Santos

A very unique place. Despite of the small narrow space due to its location, this restaurant has a clean, cozy, warm, relaxing with a romantic vibe. For me, it is such cute place with all the flowers everywhere and big pink teddy bears i am not sure if they decorated this place in time for Valentine's Day or if they change the decors depending on what holiday it is. Staffs are friendly and nice. We ordered different dishes on the menu so we can share and try how each one taste like. This place is a fusion of Asian food. They have vegan and gluten free options in their menu too. They have a nice bar to order drinks and they make it really good. Love the food presentation that seemed like a lot of artistic effort was well thought of to make the food very inviting and delectable. Most of all, love the taste of every dish we ordered. It was really delicious! One thing if you plan to come here, book a reservation to dine in. Spoke to the bartender and she said it gets packed and really busy on the weekends and holidays. I highly recommmend Di Fiora.
