This place is the one place I go to where I feel and know what I’m eating is safe! Tons of options to choose from!

I’ve accepted that I’ll never be a judge on Master Chef, in return I’d accepted that I’d never have an experience where you bite into a dish and get to be absolutely astounded by all the flavors and profiles that come along with it… until I ate at Colita! We had the Pate and it was nothing short of remarkable! The staff was top tier, the food was outstanding, and the atmosphere is intimate and inviting! I’m completely gluten free and could order anything on the menu! We had the best time! Thank you for hosting us and giving us an exceptional experience start to finish! 💕

First time at Billy’s and we definitely enjoyed ourselves! Food was very good but it’s pretty spendy. The experience is lacking for me. With price that high I kinda expected the experience would match the price point. It’s loud and tables are pretty snug. I am gluten free and would recommend the NOLO sushi roll. Staff were very friendly and accommodating! Overall we had a good time and would eat here again! Dress- all over the place. I thought it was fancy but I felt over dressed.

Amazing! I can believe today was the first time I heard of this restaurant! The staff is amazing and very knowledgeable. I have a dairy allergy (whole restaurant is vegan) and gluten allergy and they were able to accommodate me! (They do note that they can't guarantee no cross contamination, but they do have a separate fryer!). I was SUPER excited to see they have vegan milk shakes! They are AMAZING! So glad to have another great space I trust for my allergies. The atmosphere was super fun and cozy! I really liked that if I wanted to be antisocial that I can order through a QR code (which was VERY informative about gluten allergies!) You also have the option to order with the staff as well! They were always buzzing around so if you need assistance they are there. The food came out insanely fast and it was pretty busy at the time I was there. They are a tip free restaurant, they price their food so that they can pay their staff livable wages (which they dont advertise as much as I think they should!) Definitely worth the price! Can't express how excited I am about this restaurant from the food to their story AND paying their staff well - I love it! Side note: for anyone scared of vegan food or are worried about trying it - this is the place to do it! (My boyfriend wanted me to add - as someone who doesn't have allergies or have any experience with vegan meats - he loved it and said he could hardly tell the difference)

This was my first visit to Capitol Grille and it was amazing! My friends and I went to celebrate my birthday and everything was great! Our server was super friendly and knowledgeable, answered all of our questions and let us know what was the gluten-free options for my friend who is gluten free. All of the food was super delicious and cooked to perfection, I would definitely recommend a trip to Capital Grille for a night out or to celebrate.

Jennifer Christiansen

Amazing Gluten Free food with great service.

Zack Jacobs

My girlfriend and I split the Jerk caramel wings and the double burger. Both were great! We are gluten-free, and they have a lot of options for us too.

Robin K.

Did Gluten Free okay. Server was nice but not having the best day. Asked the hostess if we could have a table instead of a booth. She said yes, then sat us at a booth and took off before we could say something. We had an elderly person with us who struggles getting in and out of a booth. Needed a chair... But we managed. Server dropped silverware that knocked the lemon off my iced tea glass. And people just left it on the floor... Employees were all just stepping over it. I was afraid someone would slip on the lemon so I ended up taking care of it. Not sure we will be back. Food was okay nothing special but the prices are above average.

Jacoby Price

First time coming here. My fiancée has Celiac Disease and we were thankful for their well marked menu for their GF options! The hosts were very kind, quick and efficient. We were seated fairly quickly at 5pm on a Saturday. Our waitress, Brittany S., was so helpful with the menu’s and was quick to show us their mocktail menu when we told her that we didn’t drink. The food was amazing and also came out quickly! We got their GF chocolate cake to-go because we just couldn’t pass it up. Food presentation, Service, the atmosphere and pricing is all 5 stars and worth it. We will be back :)

Natalie Olson

Chicken wings, chicken tenders, cauliflower crust pizza

Pam Cleary

A personal favorite. Menu is always a crowd pleaser in our group. Love the gluten free options. Service is always top notch, feels like it is balanced between attention and privacy. We will keep coming back for great food and great service. The Christmas ambiance is the bomb. So festive.

Abigael Ensor

Very GLUTEN-FREE/ DAIRY-FREE friendly! I visited September 7th after work and enjoyed the happy hour menu. Everything was as beautiful as it was scrumptious! I had sushi and the fried chicken and hot sake. I also ordered 1 serving of Uni. It was the perfect after-work treat! I highly recommend this gem. The server/bartender was very knowledgeable about the menu and a cheery, helpful attitude. I will 100% be back as often as I can. Nice portions, delicious sushi!

Allison Hackenmiller

I can’t stop talking about this place! The service was great and fast (our server provided really good suggestions!), the cocktails were so well-balanced, and the food was delicious! I almost went back the next day for the noodles and brussels. We also had the tofu satay, which was wonderfully crispy, and the pad thai, which they will make if you beg, but I’m with the server that the other food was so good and you can get that anywhere. Best news: so much was gluten-free! Would go back right now if I could.

Mason S

Great gluten free bun (although a little messy if you don't mind) with flavor and variety in options. Service is great as well 👍

David Lyons

Cannot sing high enough praises of chianti grill or our experience here for our anniversary. John was out server and was the best waiter I've had at a restaurant. We got the surf and turf and the lobster linguine with gluten free noodles. It was all exquisitely prepared and delightful. We also enjoyed the calamari, old fashioned, Chardonnay, and Tennessee cheesecake. Highly recommend this grill for any special occasion!

Heather Zach

A great space to enjoy dinner with someone. Being someone with celiac disease, I always look for a new place to eat while in travel. This is a great spot on the belly and wallet!! I appreciate how knowledgeable the staff and kitchen were aware of allergies. The speed of the kitchen was also wonderful. We got our dinner fast and it was delicious!! I will come back the next time I am in town!!

Kristen Bongard

I love this place! Love coming here to celebrate life events with family and friends! The service is phenomenal, and the food is amazing! I love that they have their own gluten-free menu and even have gluten-free options as specials!! This is one of my favorite restaurants! There's something for everyone here, and you can't go wrong eating at Chianti Grill! ♡

Jennifer J

Very good, and everyone changes gloves after serving each guest. It's definitely a great place for gluten-free dessert after dinner.

Heidi Gordon

“Gluten friendly” at your own risk. Fries are marked that they can be gluten free, but the cheese sauce they come with is beer cheese, so the waitress had to clarify that she’d bring that on the side. And they don’t have a GF frier, so she asked if that would be ok. Maybe I ate too many fries, since it wasn’t clear that they came with the burger too (w/ no other option). The gf burger bun was good (covered in poppy seeds) & held up well. Cocktails were also good and the atmosphere was just what we were looking for.

Jarrod Nelson

Nice menu with clearly labeled items for gluten free, dairy free, vegan, etc. Food was nicely seasoned and drinks were delicious. Only caveat was the papas had an odd flavor to them with the sweet paprika.

Emily Hamman

Great spread with lots of options (including gluten free) at Crave! Definitely recommend coming here for a bite after a long day shopping.

Lynn Sweet

GF options are not marked on the menu but the staff was knowledgeable and accommodating. They have a GF fryer!

Andy Thomson

Great food, especially with Gluten and other allergy-friendly restrictions. Super flavorful and great variety. I miss the deep fried kimchi from the Mpls location, but love this spot.

Lynn Sweet

They have a GF baguette! Gf options are marked on the menu but not all are celiac-safe so check with the server, they are really helpful!

Reggie Lamptey

So 49ER Day party at Crave Rooftop was a lot of fun and the food was delicious. I was pretty surprised at how extensive their menu was. Oftentimes, when restaurants have a lot of items and different types and styles, it isn't always good. But when I tell you my bison burger and wings were very tasty. There was lots of flavor and made just the way I wanted. I don't like my wings swimming in sauce, so I asked for light sauce on my wings, and they listened, and it was just how I like. Their menu even has a gluten sensitive menu as well as a plant based menu. I was impressed with their options. If you find yourself in downtown Minneapolis, you should definitely check them out. You will not be disappointed!

D Castle

They have a lovely outdoor patio overlooking the lake, which is a huge draw for our kids. Good burgers and actually really good gluten free pizza (Udi crust). Huge wine and beer list, and they do have cocktails. Huge children's meals, which come with a side and a drink. We always stop here at least once when we're in town.

Maggie Pearthree

All around good spot with tasty offerings. We had the steak salad, calamari, and chicken wings grilled and would eat again. Many gluten free and vegetarian options too. Service was attentive but not overly so.

Sam

Always a pleasant experience at Smoak. They offer a variety of quality & affordable BBQ items. All of which are delicious. They even have gluten free options so my wife can enjoy barbecue again. Highly recommended.

Jessica Hoffman

Oh my goodness believe it or not we had never been to Crave before, but boy were my taste buds delighted and I was pleasantly surprised by all of the delicious, non sushi, options! Upon arrival, the women at the hostess station were kind and helpful to accommodate our party of adults, kids, and a baby mixed. The hosts dried off an outdoor table and got us set up in the sunshine, with an umbrella close by to protect the young ones among us from the sun if it got to hot or bright. Our server Wyatt was also very kind and helpful. I ordered the Wagyu Beef Burger and have a few food intolerances. Wyatt was happy to accommodate all of my preferences without.aking me feel uncomfortable making my request. In that note, they also have a an extensive Gluten Sensitive menu which I thought was very thoughtful. Okay, back to the burger, so I got Wagyu burger cooked medium rare, per Wyatt's suggestion, and it was very good. Plus, the mound of Rosemary Parmesan Fries I got with my plate were definitely delicious. The Aioli served with my burger was on the side and it was absolutely delicious! I decided to dip my fries in it and yum, it was so good. I also tasted a friend's sweet potato fries, they asked for them to be extra crispy and oh my lanta, yuuuuuum!! They were some of my favorite sweet potato fries I've ever eaten. They were super savory, seriously, so good. The photo of the sushi rolls were my hubby's and I gave him some of my fries, they did not come with his rolls. He had the Dynamite and Spicy Salmon rolls and said they were both pretty good. Another guest had the BLT chicken Caesar Salad in the photos and oh my goodness did it ever look delicious! It is served with sun-dried tomatoes, amazing. I also had the seaweed salad as a starter. I did not add any meat. It was pretty good. It was pretty lemony and a tiny bit spicy (but I am not a spice person at all). I added a little soy sauce and it was all good. Sorry I forgot to take a picture! Lastly, we had two kids with. One got a kids pizza with fries and the other had chicken tenders with fries. The portions were very large, especially the fries. Both of the kiddos seemed to enjoy both of their meals. Overall, we had a really great experience and the food was very tasty. I look forward to going back to try more items off of their menu.

Gluten-free items and menu, great food, friendly staff! Highly recommend! And vegan menu! Super delicious!

Paul Miller

Absolutely delicious, and the gluten free options were great as well

Mollie Saunders

It's just fine, nothing really for celiac or vegans though...

Amanda Zarecky

The best pizza my husband and I have had in a long time!! Gluten-free crust was delicious, great service ( young bartender). I can't recommend this place enough.

Sarah Clark

This place is great. Love all the dog art. Food is great with unique options. Menu also is super veg friendly and gluten free bread is available! They don't even mind fake-etarians like me who don't eat beef but want real bacon with their Beyond burger 😆 Jen and Lisa were awesome!! We'll be back!!

Maggie Marie

I was here for lunch during the week. The gluten-free pasta was really good and I was impressed with how much meat was in it. The atmosphere was nice and the staff was friendly. I didn't realize there was an outdoor patio and plan to check that out next time!

J James

We chose this place for a get together with some friends and our kids. It was suggested by other parents as a place for a fun and unique experience for all ages. We went on a Sunday so there wasn't much airplane action. We did get to see 1 plane take off as we were leaving. They offered a kid's menu, gluten-free options and a variety of cocktails. We went for the breakfast options: french toast for the kids, coffee, tea, french toast sandwich, mushroom toast & eggs. Our friend's had the Holman's Breakfast. All was delicious and everyone left with a content and happily filled belly. We look forward to returning in the summer to enjoy their outdoor seating and to check out the dinner menu.

Christian Oestreich

Great food selection for the whole family complete with options for vegetarian and gluten sensitivity diets. The cocktails for the adults are delicious and the gourmet lemonades for the kids are always a hit.

Jeannie Hill

We now drive to Maple Grove to enjoy P.F. Chang’s menu. We were sad to see the mall at Edina make changes that impacted that location being open. But it is worth the drive. The décor is in lovely oriental style with tables, booths, and bar seating dining options. The Chef’s Feast is a good deal. My mom grew up in China, so being able to order signature Asian, Thai, Korean, Japanese, Mongolian, and Chinese food dishes is important to us. For at least 12 years, the Chicken Lettuce Wraps (wonderful peanut sauce), and Chicken Pad Thai have been among my personal favorites. The veggies are nice and fresh. This time, I ordered the Mongolian Trio, and mom had the Crispy Honey Chicken. Both were excellent, as well as the Egg Drop soup for our starter course. The brown rice was perfectly prepared. The Mongolian Trio had only a few shrimps, some chicken and was mostly beef. While the flavor was excellent, it has a bit of a “pasty” taste if you try warming up left-overs the next day. Seems like too much cornstarch is used in the sauces. The service was great. The potions are of fair size. It is also easy to order online for sushi delivery and also for pick-up. For individuals who have dietary preferences, they have multiple gluten-free and vegetarian entrees on the menu. We’ve been fortunate to gain parking near the door in a free space. You may want to come early during the prime-time dinner hour to get parking. Highly recommend!

Chris Brussow

Came here twice in a row for lunch. Saucy tots tacos are righteous! Falafel was pretty darn good. Bean taco was even tasty. The place is a bit gritty, but I could have cared less after biting into those tasty tacos! Tots tacos and falafel are marked as Not Gluten free on the menu, however, if you're not bothered by shared oil for frying, they are, for sensitivity only, gluten free enough for me! I'm definitely stealing the idea for tots tacos at home!

Samantha Castillo

My parents came to town and I wanted to take them somewhere upscale and cool. Josefina was just the right place! The pizzas are so good and they do have a gluten free crust option for both the pizza and pasta so big bonus for that too. Great experience overall.

Justine Misch

Great overall experience. Liked the gluten free wings and drinks. Good service and atmosphere.

Brian Beck

Best airport restaurant I've been to. The beer menu is astounding - great variety of taps and a number of aged, rare, and unique bottles. Our server was fantastic - solid advice on beer, seltzer, food entrees (get the whiskey burger!), and what entrees can be made gluten free (the chicken and rice was very good). The food was delicious, the seats all had power outlets, and we had an amazing time.

Hanna Anderson

We had the Mediterranean Cruise Cade cater our wedding, and it was a hit! Great options, especially for guests who are gluten free, dairy free, or don’t eat pork. They worked within our budget, and our experience with staff was excellent. Everyone loved this meal, especially the garlic sauce!

heidi clear

The menu was very limited. I’m gluten and dairy free and. Can usually find good options at most restaurants. My options were very limited. I was hoping to have a salad, but they were very basic. We had a whole conversation about gluten free and I asked for the burger with no bun or cheese and it still came with a bun. Even if I could eat gluten I thought it was a very limited menu. Won’t go back.

Sophia Jideofor

Really disappointed with thier entrees. I had got thier walleye cakes with lemon garlic green beans. This was the most expensive of entree. The walleye cakes was more like a moist package that was way over season and had to much extra stuff added into it. The green beans were no better. Tasted like they had been boiled in lemon juice and over cooked before being stir-fried becoming discolored. It was unappetizing and could only eat the mash potatoes that came as a side. However I did like the caramelize Brussel sprouts which is what I most wanted, and I was glad they had gluten free options which my bf could eat.

Nicole Hornaday

The food and service by Madalyn was wonderful. I recently started a gluten free diet, so I was a little worried that I wouldn’t be able to find anything to eat. The gluten free flatbread was amazing and much bigger than I was expecting. My family members who had the regular flatbread said they liked mine just as much, even though it was gluten free. The wine flight was also so good and gelato was delicious. There was one glass of wine that my sister didn’t love, and Madalyn took it back with no questions asked and gave her something she liked better. We will definitely be coming back!

Trisha Schmidt

Delicious meals!! Excellent Gluten Free options

Elizabeth Sloan

Gluten free pizza was great. Although 2$ per topping is a little much.
