Kathryn Boyle

Excellent gluten free options including gluten free bread! Every time I’ve gone the food has been good quality with great service.

Amethyst Smith

They were stellar from the moment we walked in. They had my mind at ease immediately assuring me they don’t even bring gluten into the building. The food was amazing it felt like a 5 star dining experience. The whole menu being gluten free and without worries of cross contamination it was a fantastic experience with food and service. I will be returning for all of my events worth celebrating. Not to mention a full side menu of mocktails 😊

Delfi Bourse Martinez

Amazing restaurant with a different menu for gluten free, they are super careful with any type of allergies. the food is delicious I 100% recommend it

Noah Steege

Not Celiac safe. Went there for lunch yesterday and my wife got glutened by cross contamination.

Kathy Bowman

This restaurant is a real gem! I have two sons that have Celica's disease. It is very hard to find true gluten free restaurants. From the moment we stepped in, the staff was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about gluten-free options. The menu was extensive, with clearly labeled dishes, and we were able to create a fantastic meal. Even the dessert was a showstopper. The food was flavorful and delicious, and we left feeling satisfied and impressed. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone that has Celica's Disease.

Came here on Valentine’s Day. My server Lexi made sure my meals would be shellfish and gluten free. Also love how many gluten free options there are too. I had the devils pass dip which was so flavorful and had the cheeseburger which was good too. Also tried the chocolate decadence which is gluten free too, very rich chocolate flavor

Absolutely fantastic restaurant! My partner has celiac and they have a full gluten free menu. We go at least once a month. I highly recommend for ANYONE!

Chris Berry

This place has some positives, but my experience overall was disappointing. The atmosphere was nice, with a spacious bar area and a great beer selection that supports local breweries, which I really appreciated. However, the food and cleanliness left a lot to be desired. The French dip was a letdown – dry, with an odd choice of American cheese instead of the usual provolone or Swiss, and while mushrooms were included, which I know some places do, they’re not my preference. Overall, the sandwich just wasn’t good. The potato skins were also subpar, barely a 2 out of 5. On the other hand, the mac and cheese was pretty good, and my kid enjoyed it. There were some cleanliness issues. I found a small fleck of lint or hair on my cup, and I noticed the bartender using her bare hands to pick a lemon seed off the side of a glass while making water for another guest. These details were off-putting and made me feel a bit skeeved. While they do offer gluten-free options and a great beer selection, the food quality, service, and overall experience weren’t quite worth the price.

Ariane Volk

Delicious Thai street food & all the classics. Also high end cocktails. Highly recommend! Excellent gluten free options, as well as vegetarian options, and clearly marked.

Amanda Shipe

I was referred here because they have clean food and I wasn’t disappointed! I wish they would get grass fed grass finished option for the meat but the organic wild caught salmon and free range clean chicken were great! They have gluten free beer! Service was amazing!

Sandy Hinden

Great flexible eating offering lots of gluten free options. Turkey burger was dry but flavorful. Glazed salmon was fantastic. Pork buns were rich, smokey, spiced and delicious.

Krista Viksnins

Great service, food, and atmosphere. Lots of good happy hour specials and amazing gluten free naan!

Don Houpt

Love us some Bartaco! Wonderful attentive staff, great drinks, and great food. Had their roasted duck and sesame ribeye taco's for lunch. Loved it so much I went back for dinner; got chicken tortilla soup, and the pork belly and roasted duck tacos. Best damn taco's outside of Texas... Oh, and the reposado margarita's are frickin' awesome. Yes, they have strict gluten-free options as well, one of our guests has celiac disease so that is a big concern.

Pat Franklin

Great service, coffee and food. No wait time on Saturday morning. Impressive. Food was fresh and delicious. Like that they have gluten free options

Kate

Great alternative brunch spot! Excellent GF waffles (both sweet and savory), but GF protein choices are limited. This spot consistently makes a kick ass cup of coffee.

Well, here is my honest review. When we walked in, there were three employees behind the stand. One was busy on the phone and the other two were just standing around and giggling. We stood there for about a minute and no one acknowledged us. I literally turned around and opened the door and said “I guess they are closed.” (Nigel - you can actually check the camera because it’s a great feedback/teaching moment to your staff.) The two girls still said nothing to us. We stayed because of your Gluten Free options. We got sat and we waited. Then, we waited some more. Then, we flagged down a passing server and inquired where ours was. She told us that she would check. A few moments later, someone appeared at the table. Our server Talina was a bag full of sunshine… NOT. She was mediocre at best. While waiting for our food, we were subjected to the inappropriate music being blasted from the kitchen. (We sat in the booth right in front of the kitchen expo.) Speaking of food, I asked for the pasta with chicken; no mushrooms but substitute broccoli. I was charged $3 for a few measly pieces of it but hey, its 2024. The food overall was very, very good. However, due to the lack of hospitality and pleasant atmosphere, it was a fail in my book. *Bonus tidbit, I called from my seat asking if Nigel was in tonight. They answered “no” to which I replied, it’s clearly evident.

I had dinner at True Food and it was excellent. Lots of menu variety for gluten free and vegan individuals. Our meatloaf (non gluten free) and burger were tasty, prepared exactly the way we requested. The service and ambience was outstanding. When you go, ask for Fernanda to be your waitress. She’s very customer oriented and kind. Emerson the Manager brought out our food and was very professional and helpful. True Food is a great place to eat!

Tyra Drouillard

The food is always delicious and the service is great! I love that they have so many gluten free options!

J.Michael Peyton

Enjoyable experience. Gluten friendly menu... Reasonably priced

Michael Iachini

This place was amazing for our food allergies, and the food was yummy! We had a whole group of people with gluten allergies and one person with both gluten and dairy allergies. The server, Pemba, was awesome! He brought out a photo of the ingredients of their boba so we could check to make sure it's dairy free (it is!), and he was super careful about all of our allergies. Good food, great service! Definitely will return.

Shannon Henley

Allie was our waitress and she was amazing!!!! Made the experience enjoyable and the gluten free options were great!

Bella Youssef

A little loud, but phenomenal spot. Tons of gluten free options. Fast service and extremely affordable. The app to order makes splitting checks way less awkward. I recommend if you are ordering for you and your partner, sit next to them if you are in a group. It makes it way easier to know what’s yours.

Stacey Smith

Wonderful dining experience! My husband is gluten free and we were so pleased with the number of gluten free options. And the cocktails were amazing!

Jenna G

Shaq was such an amazing waitress. Delicious food and beverage choices! So many vegetarian and gluten-free options as well.

Rhys James

Great food, Alex was amazing at her job. Amazing for gluten free / coeliac-friendly food.

Allen Ayuninjam

12/10. This place is phenomenal. The food and service were both top notch. Also, lucky for me they have A LOT of gluten free options, for those who have allergies or sensitivities to gluten. I figured they would have at least a few options but according to our server, either the owner or the head chef has celiac so they try to incorporate several gluten free options for guests. So we ordered the fried broccolette, the seven hills 16 oz ribeye, and the Greg’s catch of the day. The broccolette might not sound that interesting but it was actually super delicious and 10 times better than we thought it would be. We only ordered after our server (i think her name is Kat) recommended it. The ribeye was really good on its own, but the Greg’s catch was the pride and joy of the evening. I didn’t know what panisse was before this evening and now I know it’s one of my favorite food items. It was paired with a trout/salmon like fish and it had a sauce spread all around it too. That dish would be my recommendation to anyone. Our server, Kat, explained a lot to us and was super helpful with recommendations. Definitely coming back.

Marissa Knoblich

Joe and Diego did a great job serving and making sure my gluten allergies were taken care of. The food was excellent as well as the atmosphere. Happy hour is where it’s at!

Joseph Dondlinger

Great place to grab a burger and drink. Super friendly staff were great with accommodating gluten free dining.

kelsey McPherson

We love this place. Every time we visit the waiter asks about dietary restrictions and the chef marks up the menu notating what I can eat(Celiac) and what my son can eat(dairy free). They have great seasonal options, my husband and I love coming here for date night because of how loud and crowded this place gets it is hard to get our stroller in even though our toddler LOVES this place. The cocktails here are delicious and we have fun trying something new and different every time.

Zoé Tkaczyk

Great gluten free options and so delicious. Tee was our waiter and absolutely killed it!!

TJ Sprankle

It's no wonder this company is so successful and has so many restaurants. You just can't do better than this - in all facets - deliciousness, variety, service, atmosphere, etc. This was my first visit to this one. I was greeted by a great hostess staff, and then was lucky enough to get Ryan as my server. Extremely knowledgeable, super personality, and gave great suggestions when asked about the menu. I had the Caesar salad with grilled shrimp on it. It couldn't have been better. Zak, the manager, came to the table to ensure all was well. He also was extremely nice and dedicated to the best customer service. I would eat here again in a minute. They do have gluten free options and are sensitive to celiac sufferers, especially Zak.

Anne DeSimone

Tasty food in a lovely space. The service was very fast and attentive. There are many gluten free options(be sure to let your server know you want the GFO) All our food was delicious and the serving size was generous. It’s pricier than your everyday take out, but this restaurant has wonderful quality. Can’t wait to return to Peter Chang’s!

Rayna Prettyman

6/22/24 First time ordering food from this place. We ordered pizzas for pick up. Didn’t realize what a cute little walkway it was on in downtown Hampton. We went to wait for a pick up order and it was a nice little bar. Will definitely go back to check out other stuff. The pizzas were delicious! Two of us had gluten-free and they were some of the better gluten-free pizzas you can find

Elizabeth Johnson

Our waiter Badhan was very nice and helpful. I have a gluten allergy (celiac) and he helped me find items on the menu that were safe to eat and made sure there was no cross contamination. Excellent service!

Carly Jannone

Great at accommodating gluten allergies

Leta Sharkey

1st time and loved gluten free pizza!

Kayla Gioia

The gluten free pizza was SOO good 10/10 recommend!!! Dog friendly patio- took my dog and they brought him a bowl of water. Love this place

Wendy Pauley

This place is a gem! The staff, atmosphere and food were amazing! They have a good variety of gluten free entrees with incredible flavor combinations. A definite must if you're in the area. And, Ashley is the BEST waitress!

Robyn Ladd

Great drinks and the bartender Irish was very personable! We stopped in for brunch, the Benedict’s were great and they have options for gluten free diets!

Monica Avila

Gina did an amazing job. She made our gluten free diet very easy. She was very professional and was on top of everything. We appreciated her service.

Karen Jackson

Gluten free options

Haydan Mitton

Gabe was the best!!! I have celiac and he was super careful with my food. 10/10 for Gabe!

Adam S.

Food was great. Service was great. They have a gluten free menu which I appreciated.

Tiffany Von

Hands-down, one of my favorite more upscale restaurants. The service is phenomenal. It is one of my favorite restaurants in Tysons. Everything is consistent from the service and the food. I always go for the raw oysters. Their shrimp cocktail is huge and delicious. They accommodate my gluten sensitivities and their food is just delicious. I always go having at least four courses. Whether you’re a fish person or a steak person or even vegetarian, they have a great menu with a lot of variety. One of my favorite items that I get as an entrée is there branzino which I’m not sure if I spelled that right but it’s a fish is so light and delicate and the season it wonderfully. It is the type of place where you can get sides and they have such a variety. If there is just two people, I recommend asking for the half portion of the signs because if you get the full, that’s going to be a lot. Either way they’re sides are very generous. Great dessert varieties. They make a variety of cocktails and have a wonderful expanded wine list and a beautiful view. They also have valet which I highly recommend. There valet is very professional, and they make it easy. I’ll have to come back here later to share some photos but if you’re looking for a great date night or even a place to sit at the bar and unwind after work you’re going to enjoy Eddie V‘s.

Emily Palmer

We had an absolutely wonderful meal. The brussels sprouts were fantastic, the seasonal mocktail was light and refreshing. I've not had a better gluten free pasta in years, and the rice pudding was phenomenal. Can't wait to come back! *Editing to add that we had another great meal in June of 2023* the gluten free pasta is still amazing and the summer menu was amazing. Only one miss with the "Between the Sheets" cocktail, but otherwise a fantastic meal.

Brenda Fisher

What a great place to go to hang out with friends over a meal! Food selection and taste, even for us Celiac's, is great! Atmosphere is very welcoming and fun. Servers are very knowledgeable about their offerings and work efficiently and quickly.

The KalelFan

It has some of the kindest staff members I have met. This is why the 3 exists. If you have severe food allergies, it is not a place for you unless you are there to enjoy bevs. I am not sure why it has been RVAs best as the food is as common as elsewhere BUT as I mentioned before, the folks make you feel like you are wanted and in a time where this is not common, it is appreciated. The salmon is not wild and cut super thick for sashimi. None of this means anything unless it is important to you, so please understand my position. People were smiling, enjoying the food, and atmosphere. For me or people allergic to sesame, gluten, and mushroom, I would recommend Carytown Sushi instead.

kyuleep

We had a graduation/Mother’s Day celebration with a party of 7 and Audrey was very attentive and took great care of us. We had a great time and food was amazing! They were very great about helping with gluten or dairy free accommodations.

David Morrison

We recently had our office party at this restaurant and it was a fantastic experience. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, and the staff were exceptional. From the servers to the manager and chef, everyone was friendly and accommodating. Our team really enjoyed the variety of options, especially for our gluten-free and vegetarian colleagues. The restaurant was clean and efficient, and the manager and chef even took the time to personally check on our table. We were extremely pleased with the level of customer service and will definitely be returning.
