Lots of healthy options. I tried their sausage biscuit and Cyprus side salad. The biscuit was good but the salad was stellar! So fresh and delicious. The dressing so light and flavorful. They had lots of gluten free and vegan options. Enjoyed the inside, very warm and inviting.
A cozy spot with a fun seating vibe, serving generous portions and unique specialties, ensuring a delightful casual dining experience.

This place was absolutely amazing! The gluten free bread was so good! The fries were amazing and served in a huge portion which was great for sharing! Would highly recommend eating here if you are near Norfolk area.
Enjoy a unique dining experience in a charming church building, surrounded by a vibrant neighborhood and waterfront, perfect for a post-meal stroll.

We were visiting last spring from the Midwest, and I kept hearing recommendations from locals to eat here… it was wonderful! The church building, the location (we had a fantastic walk all around the neighborhood and waterfront after dinner), and the food were all perfect!!! I have celiac, and their GF options were delicious and I didn’t get sick. My husband and I hope to return one day!

Went to Saffron Bistro for date night last night. The food is incredible, the restaurant is spotless, and the the staff is welcoming and attentive. I have celiac and was so pleased that the majority of the menu is gluten free. Our servers were very kind and didn’t mind double checking for me that the items I ordered were gluten free. Can’t wait to go back!
Expect unique flavor combos in a bright atmosphere that keeps you coming back for more delicious surprises!

Maybe their regular waffles are good, but their gluten free waffles were just about the worst thing we've eaten in a long time. Dense, heavy, and flavorless. The toppings were fine, which saved the meal somewhat. Syrup was just that gummy pancake syrup that's mainly high fructose corn syrup. Lukewarm coffee rounded out the meal, and the folks behind the counter seemed like they'd prefer to be elsewhere. Me too, my man, me too...
Blending old and new decor, this spot impresses with hearty flavors and a cozy vibe perfect for a relaxed morning hangout.

Solo diner. Monday morning, and I was seated immediately. I like the look of blended old and new decor. I'm a gluten-free diner, so I ordered the steak burrito without a tortilla. It came out in a bowl, and even though the hash browns were on the bottom, they were still crispy! There was a good amount of steak on it, too! I brought my own coffee from my hotel, and they never said anything about it (win-win). There is a surcharge for using a credit card. Rashida is a delight! 😊
Experience top-notch service, creative dishes, and a satisfying dessert in a vibrant atmosphere that makes dining a delight.

First, there was Elle (“Ellie”), our superb, professional, well-informed server. A veteran of restaurant work, and thoroughly precise in her entire presentation.
Then, there was the food.
Outstanding in preparation, quality of ingredients, and flavor combinations.
The iceberg salad boasted a stunning array of flavors and garnishes and an emulsified, balsamic vinaigrette. My oysters Rockefeller were forgettable yet tasty, just not the classic I had expected. My wife had the crispy whole (boneless!) trout, and I had a fabulous roasted whole (boneless!) branzino. Both fishes were garnished with some splashes of frissee lettuce, with a sweet, subtle lemon vinaigrette. I didn’t care for the succotash because it included soy beans instead of lima beans. A disappointing, inappropriate blend of corn, carrots, and edamame. Lima beans makes succotash authentic, and this was a strange departure.
The passionfruit white chocolate mousse chocolate bomb was a great dessert, well worth trying because it was gluten-free and so satisfying.
This was a fabulous experience at Saltine.
This is one of my favorite restaurants. I'm vegan and gluten free. Lots of options and they always get my order just right! Friendly staff, good food. Great place.
We shared a gluten free OG today and it was delicious! As good as desserts you can get in high end restaurants. You have to stop by if you are in the area.
Well, first of all, I loved the consideration of my date's sensitivity to gluten. The chef was able to make everything gluten free and the food was incredible! The crab cakes my date had were the best part of the meal. The waitress was very kind, nice, and didn't bother us over and over. It was inconvenient that the two wines ordered were not in stock, but the wine given was good and I liked the taste. The place was very clean and the environment was calming, quiet, and cozy. It did not feel crowded or congested, even with a large group near us. The atmosphere was welcoming and we really enjoyed ourselves. The location is right near a parking garage and downtown so it is convenient to get to. Now, the dessert was delicious. We shared a dark chocolate cake. I am a simple man so that was all I needed and she really enjoyed it. There was a lot on the menu I wanted to try, so maybe we will be back soon.
I recommend this place as a date. It is not too formal but dress nice.
A clean spot in Downtown Norfolk offering a variety of delicious, healthy options with a welcoming vibe and helpful service.

It is so hard for this guy to make his "Phil Face" but today he made it! I heard about this restaurant and I really wanted to go! Roof top vibe is what I wanted! So I picked the place for date night 🌙 this time! Wow wow and more wow! It was busy so there was the expected delay with the food! Worth the wait! Amen! Pescatore pasta! Amazing! But his choice the chicken with the gluten free outside. Omg! He said kiss the chef for me! So thanks 😊 to Leone's for allowing me the huge win in date night!
Molly was a fabulous server! I never felt unattended even being on the roof!
Also side note I called the restaurant due to parking difficulties and the person who answered the phone actually knew the status of the 2 parking lots which allow you to park and dine there! Now to me that was impressive. Especially with all the local events going on in the Area! We shall be back for sure! Thank you everyone. 😊
Amazing attention to detail and a spotless kitchen make this spot a must-visit for a stress-free dining experience.

As someone with a food allergy (Celiac), going out to eat is somewhat scary. Andrew took awesome care of me, checking with the TWO chefs about eggs. He came back with the great news that the Bacon was gluten free too!! Easy and delicious and safe. I went for more coffee and was amazed how clean the kitchen was. I would come back anytime I’m back in Norfolk. Thanks again Andrew!
Fantastic treat for my Family! Jerome and Jaquell were great & helped us accommodate Gluten, Dairy, & Egg allergies. Nice atmosphere, Clean, and Friendly. Great Job, guys!
Had brunch this morning with Michelle and Tony and was first time eating here was totally awesome! Loved the food and service was very friendly feel at home place. Can’t wait to go back and try dinner lots of gluten free choices.
Clearly marked gluten free options, no skimping on portions, our server was spot on with recommendations, they have NA beers and low alcohol beers. Knowledgeable about the liquor they serve.
With a cozy vibe and impressive presentation, this spot offers a delightful dining experience that gets rave reviews for its exceptional flavors.

Such a great atmosphere. Food presentation,service. Everything was exceptional. It's small so make sure you make reservation on a fri and Sat night. Lobster Gnocchi was phenomenal, the appetizers, the flavors 😋. My girl friend has gluten allergy. They have gluten free pasta and she ordered the Mafaldine di Guanciale. OMG!!!! The noodles were absolutely perfect 👌🏾. 10/10. For us
A local gem known for incredible vegan cakes that impress with their fluffiness, rich flavor, and stunning artistry—perfect for celebrations!
