Anthony was an amazing server ! Checking in on us but not interrupting us at the same time ! I am celiac and was able to eat at this restaurant, the staff made me feel heard about my allergy and reassured me with the measures they would take to make my meal safe. Great place to go! Super cute decor and style.

Surf is truly a gem in downtown Whitby. If you’re looking for a place to grab some excellent cocktails and amazing SoCal style small plates and shareables, this is where you wanna be. They do a feature cocktail each week to keep it fresh (which you can find on their Insta) and everything they serve is made in-house (plus, their entire menu is 100% gluten free). The staff are all super friendly and very knowledgeable when it comes to the drinks and food. If you come by in the summer they have a really beautiful back patio, too. All around just a really amazing place that you should check out if you’re looking for a nice cocktail bar/restaurant in Durham.

Love the atmosphere and the food. Lot of options for people who are gluten free

Alyssia was very nice and accommodating for gluten and other allergies. Food was fantastic!

Ashley Gill

Love everything!!!! Added bonus they give me peace of mind bringing my 4 year old with celiac disease there. We don’t get to go out often to eat because people aren’t familiar or experienced with this condition! They are!! I promise, your truly missing out if you don’t try!

I went here with my family for a pre- reserved vegan and gluten free dinner. The chefs here are truly talented. The food was phenomenal. Owners are friendly, gracious and very talented. This was a multi course meal that was better than 4-5 star restaurants in Niagara. Flavour profiles, technique and quality of ingredients are outstanding. Book in advance, you are in for a real treat. Everything I ate was amazing, fresh and soooo delicious!

Taylor Kampstra

Had Gabby as my server, was super awesome and friendly! I have celiac so she was great at providing the options and making me feel safe!

Vallary Mayer

Mackenzie was sooo fun to have as a server. Her energy made my day :) food was also delicious, I got one of the skillet’s. Lots of gluten free options on the menu.

My fiance and I recently hosted an Engagement Lunch at The Brock House. Coordinating with Maddison, one of the owners who is also the event coordinator, was incredibly easy as she was very efficient and quick to answer all of my questions. We reserved the Nash room and it was a beautiful space that was able to easily accommodate our 35 guests without it feeling cramped. One of our guests uses a wheelchair and there was zero issue with her being able to get into the space, have her meal, and use the washroom. The staff had helped set up and decorate everything before we got there, and it was exactly how we envisioned it. It made walking in feel that much more special. Everyone on the team was so kind and attentive, making sure our guests were taken care of and that the whole event ran smoothly. The food was absolutely delicious, and we’ve been hearing nonstop compliments from our family and friends. The team was also very attuned to allergies and food intolerances, which was very much appreciated as we had a variety in our group, including gluten-free guests. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate such an important day. Huge thanks to everyone at The Brock House. You made our engagement lunch so memorable, and we’re really grateful. Highly recommend for any special occasion!

Awesome experience here! My best friend is gluten free so we came here for their cinnamon roll gluten free pancakes (delicious by the way). We came in a group of 4, it was kind of busy but the food still came out fast, which was surprising because our server had to actually go get bananas because the ones they had weren’t ripe enough. Synthiyan was our server and he was exceptional! Will definitely be coming back.

This location never gets the orders right. I ordered for pickup and they missed half the food in the bag. When I called they told me I was trying to rip them off. I ordered again for delivery from Skip and request Gluten-Free buns. They made the burgers on regular buns, when I called they were told me to come in. At least Skip will credit the mistake, but these mistakes shouldn't happen.

Hayden Blyth

I have to say, I am Gluten-free, and their pizza was absolutely outstanding! I heard it was good online, in person, it passed my expectations. I highly recommend ordering and making PiCo. Pizza your new go to Pizza joint. Do it.

Nathan Whitty

Not a bad restaurant overall. Nice atmosphere with friendly well dressed waitstaff. We were personally served by Jason who was quite accommodating and friendly. He kept my lady happy with a well made Margarita from the bar so I'll try not to hold the fact he had no ciders for a thirsty man against him. Seriously get some ciders milestones! I was please that Jason did everything he could to help us meet our dietary restrictions. He needed to put in some extra effort helping us understand what was gluten free and what wasn't. For whatever reason the menu only lists two gluten free options, despite many more being available upon request. Fixing the menu is the second thing I would recommend for the restaurant as at first glance it will keep many customers with special diets away that would otherwise visit. All in all a good experience and worth the visit.

Food was super flavourful and the guy behind the counter was very kind and helpful, making sure to ask if it was our first time and helped us navigate the menu for dairy free and gluten free options. Will definitely be back!

Erin Potter

We had a fantastic experience at the Food and Art Cafe on Monday. We were a group of 10, 3 adults and 7 kids. Everyone was incredibly friendly and accommodating. Our server was so sweet with all the children, as were the rest of the staff. We had a lot of dietary restrictions in the group as well, no dairy, no gluten, nut allergy etc. Our server took the time to walk us through the menu options based on our needs. The food was outstanding, everyone was so happy with their meals. Thank you so much, we will be back again soon!

Doris Foster

I appreciate that the online menu could be sorted for gluten friendly items. This helped me to know prior to coming whether they could meet my dietary needs and also saved time asking the server questions once there. Great food, good service and nice patio!

Anthony Calabrese

I come to Guac in brooklin a couple times a week and the food and service is always on point. I also love that they are celiac friendly and all of the staff are well educated and informed on what’s celiac safe. Nia is one of the staff that usually takes my order. She is always very polite and makes sure my orders are prepared correctly.

Azyia Makowski

Gluten friendly, I was able to have my chicken fried rice and spicy crab meat rolls made without gluten. Staff are very friendly and food is fresh and delicious. :)

Stephanie G

Every time I’m in town visiting my parents we come here for lunch, the food is amazing. I also have a severe Gluten allergy and I can have quite a few options. I usually go with the russwich sandwich the beef is so tender and the gravy is so flavourful, they also get their GF from the store next to the restaurant so it’s always fresh. Service is always good and friendly, prices are also very reasonable for the portions!

Joanne Krawetz

Great Texas style restaurant. Known for their margaritas & fajitas! They also offer gluten free options! Yummy 😋

Sabrina F

Great service and we had great wings. They were able to accommodate gluten free which we appreciated.

SheriColette Secord

Great little pub and the gluten free options were awesome.

Ashleigh Persaud

Service was amazing and the employee was very helpful! I got the gluten-free pizza and it was delicious! Someone had the Keto-zza and loved it! Everything was hot and fresh, we had to wait but didn't mind. It was also worth the wait!

Minal Budrani

Delicious Idli Sambhar and other veg Curries. Roti was perfectly cooked and soft. Healthy Gluten free Vegan and vegetarian options.

Sarah W

Best gluten free burger in Whitby!

Anna Turkington

Incredible pizza and service. Best gluten free dairy free pizza we have ever had. Always so friendly and welcoming. It’s now a place we visit weekly. Thank you.

Asalee Johnson

I recently stumbled upon this wonderful vegan restaurant. I had the chickpeas wrap it was very delicious. I love the fact that they have a lot of gluten free options on their menu. They also distribute green juice, they have healthy pastries which includes gluten free options. I recieved a new customer discount and a free health magazine. This will definitely be my go-to restaurant for vegan delights.

Lynn S

Went here on the recommendation of a friend. Italian restaurants frighten me a little, as I have a gluten allergy. But I needn't have been worried. The menu is clearly marked, and the staff very accommodating. I ended up having the best risotto of my life. My husband had pasta bolognese. He said it was fantastic. The prices are reasonable, staff are friendly, atmosphere is nice. I will go back for sure when in the area again. Thanks Bella Notte, keep up the good work!

My sister in law is celiac and this place was amazing. They gave her a certificate of all the foods she can and can't have.

The food is fresh delicious and excellent quality! My daughter is Celiac they have lots of safe choices for dietary restrictions! The staff is super friendly and the restaurant is clean every time we go for lunch. Thank you Amit for always making our visit an enjoyable one.

Natasha Hilliard

Disappointed I didn’t go here sooner! Unique fine dining experience with great prices and impeccable service. Everyone working was smiling and polite. Our server was extremely knowledgeable about the food and was very attentive to allergies. Lots of gluten free and vegetarian options. The food was delicious and very well thought out. We had the charcuterie and it was more than enough for all seven of us. We also tried the pickerel and potato croquettes and everyone loved them we almost ordered more. Honestly a must try. The Agnolotti was rich and had wonderful flavours. Burgers were excellent for the teenagers at our table. Steaks were both done to perfection. Not sure about the pork tenderloins presentation but it was extremely tender and tasted fantastic. Entrees were big portions and desserts were not too sweet but just enough to satisfy. Very impressed will absolutely be back.

Janice Hamilton

Swiss cheese in omelette was processed and didn't taste very good mixed with so many tomatoes and onion. However the redeeming item was the gluten free bun which was amazing.

Mary Ziotas

Gluten free was FANTASTIC!!! & I dont find that very often ..at all !! had a spicy chick..sandwidh & it was awesome!!! even the bun :))))) also beet salad rocked with dill, Can tell quality in ingredients! 100% will be back !!!

Gurpreet Kaur

The food was delicious and though the other reviews said the portions were large, I was still amazed at how much food I got. It was great. The service was amazing too. We had someone in our party that can't eat gluten and the moment it was mentioned our server was on top of it and she was able to tell us exactly what to avoid. I'll definitely be visiting again soon!

Melanie Dsouza

The vegetarian steamed momos were bland in my opinion , the chili fish and the hakka noodles were well seasoned. It would be nice to have some gluten free options on the menu especially those with dietary restrictions.

Maryam Hashmi

I’m so glad there’s a vegetarian/vegan place. Dude served us free drinks and fries with 2 burgers that my boyfriend and I bought. Joe was very quick with our order and it was a pleasant experience. It was our first time here and honestly will come here more often. I’m lactose intolerant and gluten intolerant as well and after eating this, my stomach did not hurt at all. I need to try every single dish as the burger was just amazing and fulfilling. The fries were so good too. Best place and very clean. Friendly staff. Super efficient. Great pricing. Can’t wait to try more! Super excited! Definitely super excited for the deserts as there aren’t many vegan friendly deserts out there and the menu here has quite some appetizing deserts. Highly recommend!

Andrea Weir

Went for lunch with a friend who is gluten free and was served with a smile. Our waitress offered my friend safe option for her to enjoy and we had a relaxing time without feeling rushed. Would recommend to others

Gillian Albers

This is a small, plain restaurant. Went for breakfast. I was thrilled because they had gluten free bread. Had eggs, homefries and toast with a side of grilled tomatoes. All done exactly the way I wanted. Coffee was only $1.95! Service by AJ was as good as any fine dining restaurant.

I really LOVE this Pizza Pizza!!! I used to live close by and now I continue to drive to this one all the time. My daughter's favorite Pizza also is Pizza pizza.

Yummy and healthy! #1 CUSTOMER SERVICE ALSO Will always give this 5 star and my business♡

Juan Barahona

Excellent food for Thai Express. The team was super helpful with gluten free options. We came here twice in 3 days.

Rob White

We placed an order with Arun at papa johns in Whitby today, I was very specific about my gluten free pizza. Normally, I eat something other than pizza because I really don’t care for gluten free crust. Mine was amazing, there was extra sauce as requested with ample toppings. Was one of the best pizzas I’ve had. If you must have gluten free crust, this is the only place to go. Thankyou Arun
