Came to Friedmans on W 72nd with my friend Jess and we had such a great time! The vibe was super warm and welcoming, and the staff made us feel right at home. I ordered the buttermilk fried chicken sandwich and Jess got the shakshuka both were amazing. You can tell they really care about quality ingredients, and the gluten-free options were a huge bonus. We weren’t rushed at all and got to just hang out and catch up over great food. Definitely adding this to our regular brunch rotation!
This spot offers amazing pasta and a cozy vibe, making it a must-visit for a delightful dining experience.

The restaurant has an amazing location, it looks very chic and fancy. The waiter was super friendly and very attentive.
They have gluten free options available here!!! The food was good too, but i don’t know if the high price was justified. There was nothing wrong with it, but also not so amazing that it’s worth paying 30$ for a salad, but on the other hand it’s nyc prices and an amazing location. Can only recommend
Indulge in a vibrant atmosphere where every dish impresses and drinks add a sweet touch to your fun dining experience with friends.

I ordered the steak and my friend ordered the Lamb chops. DELICIOUS!!!!! I'm not big on seafood so I can't tell you about it, but everyone loved their food. The drink I had was the Atlantic Love, a bit too sweet for me, but well made. Fun time and with a group of 6, the service was very smooth. The calamari was good, but the seafood butter for the bread tasty fruity. I thought it was mango. They also had gluten free bread they brought out for the table too. I would go back!
This spot serves the best coffee in the neighborhood, with a cozy vibe perfect for breakfast or a midday break.

The best! Even when they’re super busy, the line is fast and the staff is kind. Coffee is tasty and the food is solid. Lots of options if you’re gluten free (I’m not but still love the gluten free banana bread!)
Get ready for a bustling vibe with consistent meals that meet expectations, perfect for those craving a cozy atmosphere amid the weekend rush.

Very busy - make a reservation. The food is phenomenal. The garlic bread is so yummy. The Caesar salad is really good with delicious, buttery homemade croutons. The pastas can be made gluten-free, which is great. And the gluten-free pasta tastes really good. The vodka sauce has a little kick to it... so yummy! Highly recommend.
Expect cozy vibes with unique nods to Lady Gaga and her family's legacy, complemented by a delicious blend of standout dishes.

The restaurant is fairly small and tight. Our server, Kayleigh, was excellent. The apps of a gluten free pizza and the Italian chopped salad were both very good. Two of the entrees (hangar steak and lamb chops) we're not good. actually, the steak had a foul odor, they removed it from the check. The rest of the entrees were good, but nothing I'd go back for. Disappointing
Enjoy a cozy vibe with a mix of sweet and savory options, plus unique traditional and buckwheat batter varieties to satisfy any craving!

The most beautiful and quaint coffee shop. I enjoyed the avocado toast. It was one of the only cafes I could find that offered gluten free toast. I will be back next time we are visiting.

Delicious food (fish “hash”, both lobster and tuna tacos, sides of pumpkin and greens), and cocktail (“the last word”).Warm, friendly service. Relaxed ambiance. Lots of gluten-free options. We will be back!
A hidden gem with a nondescript storefront and unpredictable hours, offering a variety of customizable, refreshing smoothies and bowls in three sizes.

I really like that Oakberry Upper West offers gluten-free options. It's a great choice for those with dietary restrictions or preferences. Also, there's a variety of toppings. It's a great way to customize my acai bowl exactly how I like it.
A neighbor recommended this restaurant and let's just say I now ask him for his weekly suggestion.
La Boite is truly a delicious meal - I have multiple allergies (cow dairy and gluten) they so easily accommodated them and didn't make a big deal it was lovely!
The branzino is the best branzino I have ever had. Ever. The sauce is a perfect mix of lemon and other seasonings. I chose two veg sides and they were equally divine. My first course was a salad with goat cheese which was divine.
My partner ate the ravioli which he thoroughly enjoyed. As for the steak the cut off meat he did not enjoy but the sauce was so delicious he was born as to his thoughts on it. He enjoyed the bread and butter served as well.
The wine selection was perfect and I found the staff lovely, they handled a full restaurant with ease. We also witnessed them dealing with a cross guest and they handled it so professionally.
I can not wait to return and would happily refer anyone to here.
Perfect pre-show hangout near Lincoln Center with delicious options and great vibes, making it a spot to revisit.

Great spot to get food before a show at the Lincoln Center. Staff was friendly, helped us with the gluten free options (and informed us it was a shared frier which is important for my wife with celiac), and made delicious food and drinks.
Will definitely be back!
Visited here for the first time and was very impressed. No dedicated gluten free menu, but the staff was very knowledgeable and accommodating. They even brought me nutrition labels from the kitchen to check for allergens. The tortilla chips are made out of house and completely gluten free and they can substitute corn tortillas for most of their dishes. The food was delicious and so were the drinks!
Experience a vibrant and lively atmosphere with colorful decor, perfect for enjoying generous portions of authentic Mexican flavors with friends.

Enjoyed a lovely night out with friends at El Mitote. We shouted up at 6pm on Friday and were seated right away, but the place filled up very quickly after that, so plan accordingly since they don’t take reservations.
I had the tostadas with camarones (shrimp), my friends had tacos and quesadillas. Each of our dishes were about $20 and they accommodated my friend’s gluten allergy.
The servers were great and the noise level was a little much for my ears.
Great food attentive service. Easy to get to Beacon Theater. Great for gluten free options. Nice options in the bar... someone thought out the spirits list.
