Ester Martinez

Egg, sausage, fruit and English muffin was delicious!

Tucked in the farmers market is Holy Crepes! A fabulous find while on our NO adventure. Great choice of savory and sweet (gluten free is an option). We went sweet with Elvis and Pralines both were delicious! Take the trolly down Canal to this hidden gem.

Billie Jo Hayes

Extremely knowledgeable servers and chefs! Delicious food and extensive wine list. Door (not sure how this should be spelled) and Miss Jackie made sure my meal was Celiac-safe. Such a pleasure eating somewhere they honestly care about serving a Celiac patron safely. Highly recommend.

Krystal Mlady

I really enjoyed the food here and was so grateful to find a place that had a lot of gluten free options. I was able to try gumbo and gf beignets (calas) and they were very delicious 😊 the service was also pretty quick and friendly.

Loved our meal!! Gluten free fried seafood combo, and gluten free fried artichokes with marinara - all tasty, amazing!! Even better, after being my messy self our waitress offered me the use of her Tide to Go stick, amazing service. I love this place!

Mic Reich

Gluten free pizza was lovely

Gregory Anderson

Offers a few gluten free options. Normally excellent service, but this last time was meh. Food it pretty good.

Claudia English

Gluten free options were limited… three options or getting food grilled. Still unsure of how friendly it was as felt unwell after dinner.

Shyamal Pansuriya

This is a hole in the wall kinda place with excellent food and drinks but the wait the wait was lackluster! They have gluten free options!

Kim Slone

Amazing and delicious!! Had plenty of vegan and gluten free options.

Erin Carriel

We wanted Fabulous local food and Sylvain’s did not disappoint! We had the Pappardelle Bolognese and Striped Bass which were both delicious, we also had the Fried Cauliflower which was a wonderful surprise!! Our server Chris was knowledgeable, efficient, and friendly. They were able to accommodate my gluten free restrictions, including dessert…a coconut crème brûlée! The ambiance was intimate and beautiful, we loved everything about this restaurant and highly recommend it!

My husband ordered a cup of gumbo and the combination platter. He bit into shell fragments twice. The bread was not very flavorful. To top it off he ended up with severe food poisoning. I’m celiac and ordered jambalaya from the gluten free menu and also ended up with diarrhea. Didn’t make a great impression seeing that it was our first time in Louisiana.

We went here specifically for gluten free food. The owner was there and super friendly. We ordered gluten free fried green tomatoes, shrimp, crayfish, catfish, pickles, and fries. The coating/breading was light and airy. We were the only ones in the restaurant. It was a little awkward, quiet, and dark.

Mitzi Starkweather

What a beautiful, delicious, cozy experience. The shrimp and grits were phenomenal, and they have gluten free options noted on the menu! The staff was kind and welcoming and gave us space but served us well. We we will definitely be back!

Nathan Hodge

Awesome gluten, free pizza.🍕🍕🍕🍕

jada

(dairy free and gluten free). we had the jambalaya (GF, DF) (4/5) and the rice and beans (GF) (4/5) and the flight lemonade drinks (2.5/5). the potato salad and the appetizer sausage was SOOO delicious. overall awesome atmosphere, people & food. worth the long line outside ! (and super affordable)

Haley Andrews

10/10 !!! Amazing options for vegans and gluten free. The flavors are beautiful

All Movens

I placed a take-out order for gluten-free pad thai. When I arrived, the system wasn't working properly and they had not received my order. The host took my order and apologized. It was ready in about 5 minutes, which was incredibly quick. The flavors were robust and very authentic. Thanks for the great food, service, and gluten-free options!

Aline Sarria

Amazing restaurant all around. We sat at the bar for brunch. The waiter consulted with the chef to make sure my food was gluten- free. Everything was delicious.

Mic Reich

Had gf menu with a handful of meals as option- but not a lot of variety. However- they knew exactly what to do.

Helen Crotty

Great deal for the Quarter. Gluten free safe!

DID ANYONE SAY, LOUISIANA SPECIAL? If you are ever lucky to experience New Orleans, you MUST try jambalaya and gumbo with a side of oysters of course. Jambalaya is by far my favorite because growing up in a first-generation filipino American household rice was a big part of the culture and gave me much comfort. The dish incorporate Cajun flavors and will surely make you full. At New Orleans Creole Cookery, you will be wow'd by more than the building, but by the level of service they provide. The staff is extremely attentive and the jambalaya is the bees knees. I could eat their jambalaya everyday - the rice is perfectly cooked and the chicken is so tender and moist. Personally for me, I'm not a big fan of gumbo. Thick soups are not my favorite but nonetheless, the flavors are still bold. And lastly, I have never enjoyed oysters. But something told me to give this one a try and I am glad I did. There was ZERO hint of the ocean and salt water scent that oysters usually have. In fact, it wasn't salty at all. Instead it was drenched in garlic and cheese - how could this not be the best oyster ever? Only thing it was missing was bread crumbs but, I understand the hesitation with those who cannot have gluten. Still, I would definitely eat this oyster again and again. Thank you for the hospitality!

We stopped here for breakfast. Then, we chose to try their Beigntes. They came 4 on the plate. And although there is a more famous place on New Orleans that makes them we tried both. Both my wife and I feel this place makes the best Beigntes so far. Properly made dough and cooked to perfection. I would highly recommend them. Now digging into my Boudin omelet and her bourbon street breakfast. The Boudin omelet is great. It is light and fluffy. The hashbrowns are freshly grated and not over processed. My wife's pancakes are crazy good. I try to stay away from gluten, but I would eat these cakes and deal with the side effects without complaining. Hell yes, I drank the Boubon at 9:15am. No, I do not have a drinking problem. Bourbon while having some spice was smooth. If you are on New Orleans, put Cafe Fleur De Lis on your list to have for breakfast. Love it and will be back next time we are in New Orleans. It's really good.

Perfect just perfect. Really appreciate the gluten free options

I am a celiac and visited this restaurant because of its variety of gluten free options. When we were seated I informed our waiter of my allergy and he told me to order meals with the small asterisk because they are gluten free. Let me start off by saying the selection is awesome and there are gluten free options in every category. I ordered the BBQ shrimp and asked the waiter to make sure the French bread is on the side. When the BBQ shrimp arrived the bowl was filled with tasty shrimp and FRENCH BREAD. I informed the waiter that they accidentally put bread in my shrimp and his response was "are you so allergic that you can't eat it?" I felt like I was being asked to take a light poisoning. I took the precaution of photographing my order prior to sending it back. Our main courses arrived a few minutes later and the waiter asked if I still wanted my BBQ shrimp. I said yes and they brought it right out. Trouble is they pulled the bread out and sent me the same shrimp. I told the waiter I didn't want it and explained that it was the same order and it would be poison for me. He then said they made it fresh for me and that it was a newly prepared order. I then showed him the photographs and he took it back. I then went to the bathroom and my waiter walked in. We both felt a little awkward due to the attempted poisoning. It really must have bothered my waiter because he used the urinal and walked straight out without washing his hands!!! Little did I know but gluten was the least of my worries as urine was also on the menu. My double cut pork chop was delicious and well prepared. The fish Amandine was also amazing and the wine was amazing. With some gluten sensitivity training and some basic hygiene training this place will be a TEN but until the staff has a sign reminding them to wash hands before returning to work we are all at risk.

Nicole Arellano

Good food and gluten free and vegetarian options. However service was slow and some parts of the order were incorrect.

Rebecca Schroeder

This is by far my favorite place in NOLA. The Redfish was perfect and the shrimp and grits did not disappoint. They made a wonderful Bloody Maria and our server Carlo made the experience perfect. He was very knowledgeable about what meals they could modify to be gluten free and they had a gluten free menu. I can’t wait to go back!

Jeff Krause

Not my first time & definitely won't be my last. This time we went because they have started a Saturday "Bottoms Up Brunch", which is the same great food & drinks with the added bonus of one of New Orleans' best burlesque performers, Bella Blue, doing a pole/burlesque performance throughout the restaurant. It was an absolute blast and something very unique. I had the bloody Maria with mezcal - the best Tajin rim I've ever tasted. Apparently the chef's get the chamoy from the same Mexican outdoor market in Texas whenever they're traveling through and it's insanely good. My friend got one of the mocktails and it was also very good. Refreshing with great layers of flavor rarely found in an N/A option. And on to the next level of how Palm & Pine always gets it right. Between the two of us we have some pretty restrictive dietary needs. I choose a veggie heavy pescatarian diet. My friend has an autoimmune disease that flares up from a long list of things, the two worst being dairy & gluten. Next time you go to a restaurant see if you can find something to eat that doesn't have dairy, gluten, or meat in it...especially in New Orleans...go ahead...I'll wait...no I won't! I'll starve before you find me something. They have quite a few delicious vegetarian & seafood options but no dairy & no gluten together is tough. Our server happened to be the manager, Monica. Not only did she check multiple times with the chef for ingredients but the kitchen was able to swap out a side on her entree to get her something she loved and worked with her restrictions, all while being extremely kind and lovely about it all. All of this with what is supposed to be a pre-fixe menu, which they absolutely didn't have to do. I couldn't tell you the number of times my friend has be told elsewhere "no we can't change anything" and she'll just pick around it or leave off half the items in the dish, which she's used to doing and offered multiple times to do to not make it a hassle for the kitchen. The folks at Palm & Pine just took it in stride and went above and beyond expectations. Top notch in all categories. Wish I had taken pics but was too busy enjoying the food, drinks, & people.

The staff is happy to accommodate gluten free requests

I came to New Orleans for my bachelorette party and my group decided to eat here. My sister and I both have a severe gluten allergy and it is hard enough to eat anywhere in the city. We both opted for salads to be safe. I asked my waiter if there were croutons on the salad and they replied no. He then brought both of our salads out full of croutons. I sent it back to be remade and reiterated that we have an allergy. The kitchen staff then proceeded to pick off the croutons on the salad instead of remaking it and sent it back to us. We had many bites before digging to the bottom and realizing it was full of croutons still. The service was slow, and my waiter didn’t care about our food requests. The manager did comp the meal for us but the potential of us ending up in the hospital due to an allergic reaction was unacceptable. The waiter then proceeded to joke with us about it on the way out. He should be fired. TRAIN YOUR STAFF TO BE MORE VIGILANT ABOUT FOOD ALLERGIES. THEY ARE SERIOUS FOR SOME PEOPLE AND COULD KILL THEM.

Van Maulden

Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. Lionel, our waiter, was so accommodating! I have severe gluten allergies. He ensured I had a safe and enjoyable experience! Great restaurant and staff! Thank you!

Mark Delano

I have celiac disease and my bar tender, Zoey, took amazing care of me. She made sure that my food was safe. She she was having an off day, but she still made us some amazing drinks and entertained us all night. Marcus the manager was fantastic as well. He made some amazing recommendations for food and treated us very well. I'm not sure about the other staff, but if Zoey and Marcus are there, you're guaranteed to have a great time! The shrimp and grits and pork chop were fantastic. My wife had the crawfish bread and she said that was delicious, too. Overall, Kingfish had great food, amazing vibes and fantastic cocktails.

Michaela Helliwell

My only complaint is that I didn't find this place on my first day here. The staff is incredibly friendly. The breakfast buffet is beyond delicious. Perfect corn bread (gluten free!) and the grits are creamy and so so good.

Josh J Wagner

The food was great the drink selection was small but everything in the menu that we got was awesome. Wonderful gluten free options and helpful staff to ensure a good experience.

Dayna Oscherwitz

This restaurant is fabulous. Everything was delicious. Service was fantastic. They accommodated a gluten sensitivity with no problem. Highly recommended!

Aleksei Moniz Mirov

A weird, fantastic restaurant with a solid bar. The food was incredible (if there's duck, eat the duck, trust me) and the house cocktails are delicious. I had a blackberry basil mojito that was out of this world. Desserts and brunch are the best here, though -- go for the grilled grapefruit or the creme brulee. You won't be disappointed. Super easy to eat gluten free, too. Not cheap, but worth it. And it's adorably goth-lite.

Jill Warren

Great bar and great food! Gluten free jambalaya! My husband (does not eat GF) had their fried chicken and red beans and rice and loved it. Lots of great specialties, highly recommended!!

K F

Our waitress was Haley and she was the most sweet person ever. She checked in with us and even gave me salt when she saw me looking for it! As someone who cannot eat gluten she walked me through what is gluten free and it made the experience so fun. I recommend trying this restaurant if you are near, we will be returning.

Mic Reich

Lovely atmosphere and multiple gf options- all of them delicious. I recommend talking to manager or bringing a GF dinning card as an extra level of protection. But over all the experience was beautiful

BenjymusPrime

I had an alligator po boy which was awesome. My wife has Celiac and had a wonderful meal here too. They were very accommodating. Great time!

Wes McCoy

Let me start off by mentioning when my friends and I arrived to this restaurant, we immediately realized we were very under-dressed. We knew we were going to (what we thought) was a nice restaurant but didn’t immediately see anything about a dress code. The host greeted us and (while rather snooty but nice about it) offered to hold our reservation while we ran back to the hotel to change. So we hoofed it back to the hotel, changed, and returned a little flustered, winded, and very sweaty. I travelled with no jacket so I had to borrow one of theirs. I do realize it’s our fault for not checking the FAQ on the website to prepare, but we were not offered the option to dine in their more casual location, either, which would have been a nice option. After we got sat things really started to break down. Bread and drinks got delivered – my Rum and diet was much stronger than it should have been, my friends red wine came in a white wine glass, and no appetizer plates came with the bread. Our waiter had an okay attitude, but when it came to my friend requesting the correct wine glass and me needing another drink that wasn’t so strong, it was apparent how inconvenient the request was. Our orders got taken and while our salads came out mostly correct, one had the wrong dressing and our waiter, after my friend placed his order with him, made a comment of “That’s a lot of food”. He ordered two additional sides with his meal, one of which was tomatoes. It’s not like he was ordering ½ the menu. Not something polite to say to anyone, especially if they’re a little heavier. While we waited for dinner we made a few observations. All men were in suit jackets and ladies were wearing pretty much anything they wanted, including t-shirts. We saw a family walk out wearing Underarmour shirts and tennis shoes. We saw two of the waitstaff serving with their shirts untucked and another in crocks sandals. Some were in tuxedos, but it was frustrating seeing the inconsistencies since we made efforts to comply with their dress code. By the time our meals arrived, we all were pretty un-sold on this “historic” restaurant. The $50 Ribeye I ordered (asked for Medium but they cooked Well) arrived and it was underwhelming to say the least… just thrown on the plate. That was it – no garnish or presentation efforts made whatsoever, which is surprising for a place that is putting forward this “high-level dining” expectation. I had also asked our waiter if the potatoes I ordered had any gluten in it, to which he responded “No I don’t think so. It should be fine”. That didn’t give me much confidence, so I checked with the host who confirmed it has breadcrumbs. They do not claim any of their food is guaranteed gluten-free, which is fine, but the kitchen and wait staff should be trained to know what does and does not have common food allergens. Instead of sending my steak back, we all decided at that point to just finish our meals and go. There were a lot of rookie mistakes made in what we thought was a high-end dining establishment. After dinner I excused myself to go to the restroom. When walking back I observed our waiter slumped in a chair in the dining room thumbing through his phone while our table sat with empty drink glasses. That’s when I decided this was very much not a high-level dining experience and ripped off my suit jacket and flung it around the back of my chair. The host didn’t like that very much but I was done pretending that I was on some sort of incredible dining venture. The people working in this restaurant were not focused at all on creating any sense of service or fine-dining experience. If you want an impressive dining experience, this is NOT the place. There are much better restaurants who require a suit jacket and live up to the standard. Usually stuff like this I just chalk up to a bad experience and move on, but if you’re going to present me with a suit jacket requirement, the service and the entire experience should match that.

Food and service is awesome. Gluten free is definitely available and well taken care of.

Erin

We came after a day of shopping across the street and had a wonderful lunch. It’s such a cool spot with updated fixtures while keeping the historic vibe. My sister-in-law is picky (and gluten-free) but couldn’t stop talking about the place! They serve royal red shrimp (which is a hard find). We will be back! It also could be an awesome date spot for drinks and dinner.

Rosie daRosa (farside1230)

Excellent food. Good service. The music was really great too. They checked vaccination card and ID going in. I'm gluten-free and had an awesome chicken dish.

Rafal

Don't know menu allergens. Didn't know if items gluten free. Gave me diarrhea and food was okay at best.

Nessie H

We came here for dinner with the family, party of 7. The service was absolutely wonderful. They spaced out appetizers, dinner, and dessert very well. The server was knowledgeable about the food being served and was very confident in her knowledge and overall just conducted herself very well. She was attentive to our needs and checked on us to ensure we wanted for nothing while we were there. The wine was excellent, and the coffee was excellent. I had the calamari, filet mignon and crème brûlée, all of which had gluten free options. I was so excited that they had gluten free calamari, as I have not had it in so long, it was a lovely fresh breath of air for me!

Allana Mancino

By far the best brisket I have ever had! It was gluten free too! Excellent service and right next to Jackson square!

M P

Outstanding service. Food was excellent. The staff was very accommodating and knowledgeable about gluten intolerance. It was very reassuring. Everything was so good that we came back the next day. Would have come back again but our trip was over.

Sandi Sundstrom

I'm gluten allergic and our server Mary was not only a joy but super knowledgeable about gluten-free. Food was outstanding and the ambience is gorgeous. Thank you Mary and original Maspero's for an amazing experience! We'll be back!!!

Harshita Lakhiani

Amazing authentic Greek food. The goat, chicken wrap, authentic kebab wrap and the gluten free veg wrap was just perfect. Very flavorful and delicious. Service A+ and Ambience also A+.
