Completely gluten free. I had a vegetarian arepa (black beans, cheese and plantains) Delicious! Verde salsa was flavorful and the plantain chips were great. I have celiac and this is a delicious and safe place to eat. Staff is very nice.

Alcove knows something that many restaurants could learn, that you can serve people with food allergies and preferences without limiting access to a variety of dishes. So many dishes prepared gluten free and they have a dedicated gf fryer. I had the fried chicken sandwich which was incredible. Even my gluten eating friends enjoyed it. The beet and goat cheese salad is not to be missed! The polenta with flamin' hot Cheetos was a favorite at the table. The service was amazing and everyone was very friendly. Definitely will be returning!

Best gluten free Nutella banana bread muffin!! I loved it! Would come back just for that alone. I also ordered a Cortado and asked for a side of sparkling water to pair it. They were very accommodating and the cashier was super welcoming. Only downside is parking kinda far especially when it rains 🥲 it’s worth it though.

They are very accommodating for food allergies and have gluten-free pasta. Also, the service and atmosphere were both great. However, I have a few complaints: the pasta needed more salt and/or seasoning and was a very small portion for what we paid and we left still feeling hungry. Typical for a fancy restaurant I suppose though. Another complaint is that my wine tasted stale like it came from a bottle they opened a week ago.

We discovered this place by a coincidence. It was a great coincidence! Fully vegan fully delicious. We took a quick lunch to go, the staff is extremely helpful with your order, friendly and skillful. We got the goddess bowl and sandwich. There are nice gluten-free options and it's good to mention that they do a lot of stuff such as sauces or seitan homemade, which is awesome. We enjoyed it all!

Accommodates all of my allergies [gluten\wheat and shellfish]. But Impossible to reach when your online order is wrong. And it has been wrong multiple times, so I'm leaving a comment. I order the same thing every time. Sometimes it's the wrong item[s] and sometimes stuff is just plain missing. I check my order each time to make sure I did nothing wrong

Great service and just as amazing food! Rae our server was the best! We had the Choonchun Chicken, crab rangoons and Thai Tanic Roll recommended by the hostess and they did not disappoint. They made great accomodations for our gluten allergy as well. We highly recommend and will be back again!

Upscale street tacos is what you might call these? They are on the smaller size, they they taste amazing. The queso may be the best I've ever had. And the margaritas are legit. Lots of gluten free options if you need that.

Really thankful for this place!! Currently I cannot eat eggs, gluten, or dairy which means breakfast options are limited - this place has the BEST vegan/ GF pancakes and goetta - was such a nice treat!! Lots of other good looking stuff on the menu too - I’ll definitely be back!

This review is specific to catering - if you haven't had a Bagelry bagel yet, you need to run immediately to either location to try 1 or an entire dozen. And then, you need to plan a catering drop off for your next office gathering or party. The Premium Breakfast Buffet that we just had with meats, cheese, eggs, bagels and fruit was stellar. It's a great set-up (and hot!), best quality and a good price for what you are getting. And now with their gluten free option, the menu is in inclusive and awesome for all. Thanks, Bagelry!

I mostly come to Lou Vino for brunch. It’s amazing every time. There’s usually some gluten free options but nothing yummy like waffles or French toast gluten free. Just like omelette and steak and eggs. Either way the mimosas are affordable for brunch and the service is usually pretty friendly.

Amazing BBQ but minimal GF options. I believe the corn side has gluten in it. I love coming here when I’m near OTR. The ordering system is a little confusing but it’s worth it for how delicious it is. The drinks are great too with a wide selection of options.
