I've never been to a gluten-free restaurant before. We went with family for brunch. Since 2 of our party are gluten-free, it was great not to try to find something you can have and still worry about cross contamination. Their waffles are funnel cakes...so good.

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.

Katie McKee

Amazing food - I dream about the meal I’ve had here. The servers are always well informed and I’ve never felt weird about asking for celiac safe food!

Dominic Cashman

Gluten free options and advise are excellent

Stephon Berry

Enjoyed the Nadine, just substituted the pepperoni for chicken and my partner had a gluten free pesto chicken pizza. All in all a good dinner. I'd recommend for those with disposable income as it's not cheap, but it's not exorbitantly expensive. A single small pizza in enough to fill one person

Caitlin McAllister

Best gluten free dining experience I ever had

MERVE NAJA

Fantastic food and service! We ordered through door dash, everything was great. The bad apple burger is fantastic, I had it on gluten free bun which was great, it was holding well and not crumbly. The fries were also fantastic, which is rare because fries don’t travel very well, I am sure they are even more amazing when eaten at the restaurant. We also had the fried cheese curds and the chocolate mousse, both of them were perfectly executed. I requested my gluten free burger to be marked on the notes and someone from staff called me on the phone to make sure that they understood my request correctly, I am grateful for the sensitivity. Hats off to the chefs back in the kitchen and thanks! Hopefully we can go and dine in too.

Lori Buckman

Delicious fresh food, and they totally accommodated my gluten free dietary restrictions. Our server was very knowledgeable about all of the dishes.

Rose H

Happy to have visited the Chicago location after going to Seattle's earlier this year. What a great spot.. A so happy to realize that most is gluten free! Vegans and non vegans alike should check this place out.

Meg P

I do NOT recommend for gluten allergies. They have an amazing menu. However, transitioning from no gluten allergy to allergy dining here post diagnosis they have super limited options and their Andros seasoning contains gluten! Why?! It’s not necessary.

Emily Theis

Uvae is a gem. Love the happy hour oysters and bubbly. Some favorite dishes are the charcuterie board (the lavender honey!), brussel sprouts, cauliflower, scallops, shrimp + grits, chicken thigh... honestly we've liked everything! Cocktails are balanced and creative. Emma is a wonderful, personable server with top-notch wine recommendations, and was very accommodating to a gluten-free family member. I really appreciate that they have a few mocktails on the menu too. Chef Whitney is thoughtful, talented, and doing super cool things: last night we had a beet hummus plate with veggies and sesame tapioca crisps. It looked like an art piece and tasted like heaven; we were scraping our plates. The vibe is cozy and unpretentious. Go spend your money here!

ASA WAS AMAZING!!! Catered to our gluten allergy!!! He was so attentive and kind will definitely come bavk

Rachel Wadkins

Everything we ordered was great. Service was amazing. One of us has a severe gluten allergy and our server paid extra attention to her dishes. Can't wait to go back again!

Megan Benjamin

A lot of gluten free options! Quite delicious, though some dishes are a bit small compared to others. The soup is easily 3 portions.

Leon Rishniw

The miso soup was great and started the meal off on a high. Sadly the sushi course was disappointing. The fish was mediocre at best (saba and medai), uni was bland, avocado in my roll was not ripe. Too much rice on the nigiri and overcooked. Tea was tasty and refilled regularly. They had gluten-free soy and were communicative about gluten in dishes. Service was great. Sadly it was overpriced for the quality of the food being served. Won’t be going back.

Stopped in for weekend brunch . They do a really good job with the offerings and selection of items for brunch . Impressed to see they had a gluten free only menu as well ! I decided to go with a sandwich option . They have a spicy Calabrian chili turkey sandwich with bacon and avocado on a ciabatta style bread that was delicious . Big portion too . If you get the fries as I did , make sure you add on the truffle aioli ! It goes so well with everything. Service was good and attentive . We had a reservation and glad we did as it did appear to fill up very quickly We will definitely be back here

Michael Baron

GF pita, saganaki, and more!

Liv G

More than half the menu is gluten free. They use separate fryers and prep space for the gluten free items. Everything is vegan. Soy free options too. Very yummy!!

Matt L

Good gluten free options for my child.

Kassie

Celiac friendly! 99% gluten free. Separate fryers!

Sarah W

Delicious tapas restaurant with plenty of GF options you just need to confirm with your server about cross contact

Michelle McCrackin

Oysters, steak, they were very sensitive to my gluten allergy

Kim S

I'm happy to have found this place. I thought I would have to swear off gluten forever with my gluten allergy. But they accommodated my needs and walked away with a satisfied tummy.

Lauren Kieninger

Veggie staple! I love the new menu changes! I have been eating here for at least 13 years and I am thrilled to have newer options. Love all the gluten free options now too, especially that new cheesecake. So nice to see a little menu revamp while keeping the favs. Well done! - also their delivery travels/holds up a lot better than most, so that's a plus.

Jessica Seeley

Delicious celiac safe breakfast!

Andrew Halaby

Topper did a great job reviewing my gluten free options… cheers to Topher!

Kathryn Walters

One of my favorite casual restaurants in the city. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. The environment is incredible both for solitary work (reading, etc while you eat) and catching up with friends. I’m addicted to their curry fries and find myself craving them every week! Delicious options, even if you’re gluten free, vegetarian, etc.

Fatima taha

service is impeccable, everyone is extremely nice, I had the best gluten free pasta here!!

Magdalena Arletta

We stopped by for a bite to eat and were greeted by incredibly friendly staff in a beautifully decorated and inviting atmosphere. While there weren't specific gluten-free options on the menu, they graciously provided a suitable substitution upon request. The food was delicious!

Lior Seidel

GF options clearly marked on the menu.

Kiela 360

So grateful that they have various gluten free options on the menu. Ended up with Pad Thai tofu. It was missing something & I couldn’t place it but yet still pretty tasty. I’ll be back. Loved the live jazz band that was there the time before this.

Gluten free girlies and brunch babes, assemble! This spot has everything. There's range of burgers for every friend (turkey, veg, dairy free, gluten free buns). They're all sooooo good. The happy hour deals are amazing. $15 for a burger and fries AND sweet potato fries aren't an upcharge?!? The servers and bartenders take allergies seriously and know even beverages can contain gluten, so they'll help you get wasted and stay safe. The drinks are STRONG, so pace yourself! It's super cute inside. On a weeknight, you can often walk in with a small group of friends and not have too wait long. 10/10, 2 thumbs up, can't rave enough.

Jel Gage

We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience at Ceres'. Everything we ordered was beautifully presented, absolutely delicious and very satisfying. Our server, Matthew, could not have been more of a pleasure and enhanced our evening all the more. Excellent options for vegans and vegetarians, as for gluten free.

Emily Costello

Gluten free buns were great , fries in separate fryer and servers knowledge of allergies fantastic ! Food was great . Server very nice

Emma Andelson

Their food is absolutely delicious and gluten-free items are really well marked on the menu.

Tong Nguyen

How to sum it up, let's say I will back in September I hope as I was blown away with their special and they even had great gluten free pasta. For two people you won't break over 50$ which is very surprising. This is by far best pasta I've had since I last visited chicago. No doubts they have a great outdoor seating but my little one is messy haha Thank you for your great food please keep it up

Brittney A

This spot has some of the best vegan and gluten free sushi in Chicago!

Connie Ellis

This is definitely my favorite restaurant from Chef Izard. They offer a variety of ceviches and tiraditos, and everything we tried was absolutely delicious. The dishes were all beautifully presented and incredibly tasty. The best part is that they have a gluten-free menu available. I can't wait to go back and try more dishes from their menu!

Erin Jordan

Husband and I are from Florida and make it a point to visit each trip to Chicago. Easy access from the city on the red linr. He has celiac disease and has not had any problems. We love the variety and quality of the dishes. The service has always been excellent. Thoroughly enjoy our visits to Tapas Valencia!

Mandy DeShane

I absolutely love Mas Alla del Sol! Not only do they have amazing food and drink options, but they have very friendly staff as well. The food may be a bit pricy compared to other Mexican/Latino restaurants but it's worth it. Additionally, as someone with Celiac, I have personally never gotten sick from eating there. I highly recommend the tortilla soup and salsa verde!

Angela Maicki

Always a great energy & environment. Their patio on a nice day is awesome. I’ve had dinner here multiple times and it’s always great. We recently had brunch and it was delicious. They have limited vegetarian/gluten free options but are willing to omit ingredients when needed.

George W

Outstanding food, service, ambience. And the prices are extremely reasonable relative to other choices. The attentiveness of the staff rivals Michelin starred restaurants. The pasta was gluten free and fabulously delicious.

Greg Saunsen

I don't quite understand how, but every time we come back here, it's better than the last. Go immediately. Many different types of dishes, and around half of them are gluten free.

Katarina C.

We enjoyed the cocktails and food. The waiter was attentive and careful to help us select gluten-free and dairy-free items. Great location, close to high-end shopping and several hotels. Music volume was nice and allowed for conversation. They have coat check at the front when we we’re greeted. We were seated immediately.

Paul Rzepka

Fun and colorful. Mole is gluten free and many other gluten free options. Fresh fruit margaritas. Will be coming back.

Michael Baron

Tamales

M Rogers

I often come here for lunch. The lunch specials are really tasty. They offer sushi specials with raw and cooked options. Also cooked meals like pad Thai and basil chicken. I enjoy the Thai iced tea. They are very welcoming to solo diners, which is much appreciated. I recommend the taro custard for dessert. I also have the ramen here, which they will make with rice noodles for gluten-free diners.
