Hannah Christian

My husband and I visited for breakfast. Very nice atmosphere. The staff was kind and helpful. The food was delicious. Gluten free options, including some gluten free waffles and coconut cake. Delicious!

As someone with celiac disease (gluten intolerance), it is always a challenge for me to find a restaurant where I can eat without worries. I was completely thrilled at Harry & Izzy’s. As soon as I entered I was warmly welcomed and immediately offered a separate gluten-free menu - a big plus! After placing the order, I was personally spoken to by the manager to ensure that all details about my intolerance were correctly understood. This extra level of attention immediately made me feel good. When the food finally arrived, it was also served personally by the manager - a sign of how seriously allergies and intolerances are treated here. And the food? Excellent! Taste at the highest level - I have rarely felt so safe and at the same time so pampered in a restaurant. A big thank you to the whole team at Harry & Izzy’s

I have celiac and can't have gluten. Even cross contamination can make me sick. The Azzip staff is knowledgeable and does a great job at keeping my pizza safe.

Amy McGinnis

What's not to love here. There is a variety of vegan and gluten free options as well as some good old comfort food.

Don Purvis

Nice looking place, ridiculous that you have to walk all the way around from the street to try to find the entrance. My wife and I ordered 2 different burgers and they were both undercooked and the gluten free buns were dry and awful. Never coming back here again.

Kelly Gallaway

I was there for a meeting. 1st time visit. The Food was good. I was offered Gluten Free options, which I had requested. The Server was friendly, and timely.

Jon Jenkins

100% gluten-free kitchen!!! The restaurant space and service were great, and the food was healthy and delicious!

Gabriella Potter

I had high hopes. The pics and reviews really had me hyped. But after waiting an hour (they told me 45 mins), the huge bread sticks that look amazing but have no flavor outside of the seasoning sprinkled on top, a mediocre pepperoni pizza, a Chicken Limo (basically buffalo chicken pizza), and paying 45$ before tip for 2 small pizzas and an order of sticks....I can say I will not return. The one positive I will give the place, is that their pizza crust (not bread stick dough) is impressive. Turns out it's gluten free and I didn't even notice the difference. It tastes like home made crust, and very unique. However, I need more than just great/healthy crust to enjoy a pizza.

My home-base Cafe Patachou. Much too conveniently located near my home. It's hard to eat out and eat healthy. I love to get the chicken salad sandwich on gluten free toast and sub out chips for arugula. So yummy and I swear it has restorative powers.

Sam Zarakovich

No words, absolutely fantastic. World class, this should have a michilin star. Food? Fantsstic. Ciders? Amazing. And its a nut free, allergen and gluten concious kitchen? What more could you ask for.

Aaron Dodd

I’ve loved this place for several years now, but I’m writing this review because my girlfriend has celiac disease— strictly no gluten, and this makes some dining out more challenging. I went in to pick up dinner for us and both the owner and an employee working the front chatted with me about options that fit her dietary needs. The employee even doublechecked to ensure that the food prep surface had been cleaned and could safely accommodate a severe gluten intolerance. We got the vegan birria trio and the nonono tacos. Both were delicious. My girlfriend was thrilled. And I, as someone with no restrictions, was equally happy with our choices. Even as a meat-eater, I enjoy everything I’ve ever tried here, including the vegan and vegetarian options. The tofu mole is my absolute favorite! I never thought I’d say that as someone that didn’t appreciate tofu for 20 something years.

Amanda Elsner

I am an admitted Cafe Patachou addict... but I swear their chicken salad sandwich has restorative powers! And only place in town I know of you can get gluten free waffles!! 💙

Made a reservation for 8 for Prom last week and the kids were pleased. They said the food was great and the manager came out to check on the gluten free order to make sure it was right and that they were having a good experience. They were excited to be treated with such great service after not being served well at a steakhouse farther north a couple of months ago. They promised they tipped appropriately, but look it up on my open table to make sure that is true. Thank you for treating them with kindness and respect and for making it a good experience for them.

Dan Pete

The roasted brussels sprout appetizer is amazing! Also, pair your meal with one of the CH house wines. We chose a smooth merlot with our dinner and will do so again, it was that good. Our server was very attentive and professional, very knowledgeable on the menu and wines. He insured that my meal was prepared gluten-free which I greatly appreciated. Reservations are recommended on the weekends.

Kate Kotan

They have the best gluten-free crust. The Parma, add ricotta, is my go to. Perfect blend of flavors!

Jonathan Hilber

We make this a usual stop about once every 3 months. Service was far better this time than last. My wife has to be gluten free and she hasn't had any issues when eating here! The tacos are fantastic!

Erin & Shawn Thomas

Gorgeous spot and worth going for the soothing live jazz. The restaurant itself is absolutely stunning with gleaming bar and antique charm. Atmosphere and service is a bit pretentious/exclusive. Not recommended for celiacs. Staff showed no awareness or willingness to offer gluten free options.

Jerica Moyer

We ordered 2 coffees some pastries and 2 sandwiches all were delicious. Some of the best gluten free bread I have had. Loved the inclusive menu!

Layla Reyes

Amazing atmosphere with unique and stunning surrounds! Old shoe factory reclaimed for a great restaurant. Aside from the architectural feast, the food and service are outstanding!! Ordered the Jumbo Lobster and Crab Ravioli and ordered the zero-proof Tropical Dreamsicle. Delicious!! They were accommodating to both gluten allergies (I don't have) but also offer smaller portion menus for any anyone like seniors, kids, or bariatric patients with NO HASSLE!

LeeAnn Reymann

Delicious food and excellent service. Several gluten free options, but somewhat limited on main dish options.

Diane Gorsline

Great experience. I had the Greek salad. My son had the gluten free version of the hummus plate. We both thought the food was delicious. The service was EXCEPTIONAL. Our friendly server checked back several times. My diet soda was refilled without me having to ask. The atmosphere was cozy, featuring an eclectic mix of Jockamo items and local Irvington posters and art. We plan to return.

Rachel M

Great gf options, gf menu, and staff is knowledgeable on celiacs!

Joe Sacher

Burgers are really good. I was super disappointed in the onion rings. Really thick breading, like a limp pretzel dough and no crisp. Wish I didn't pay extra and just got the fries. Wife is Celiac and proper handling of this is main reason we came.

Marimar LaBelle

Cafe Audrey has been a go-to for my gluten-free pancake needs for 1.5 years now! I only give 4/5 stars because sometimes the cakes/toast can be a bit dry. Their cinnamon sugar butter paires well with the pancakes. They're on the expensive side, but the people there are friendly and welcoming. They have really good mimosas with different flavors. I like the pineapple and the sunrise grenadine mimosas! It's less packed during the week and in the mornings before noon. On the weekends, if you go in the morning before 11, you can sit yourself. I would recommend going before noon to avoid waiting since the place is so small, they don't really have a waiting area.

R. M.

Fantastic - great food & great pricing. Celiac friendly and plenty of vegan options. The curry chickpeas & kimchi are fantastic.

Melissa Smith

My American Legion Post 510 gathers here for a meal prior to our monthly meetings. The staff is great and friendly. The menu has so many different items to choose from that I have a hard time deciding. They also have vegan and gluten-free items to choose.

Rachael R

I love this place. I have Celiac Disease and they are extremely accommodating. I forgot to mention it on my online order and called them and they immediately went and let the kitchen staff know it was a special order. Also, don't sleep on the tots. They're amazing.

Nick Sampson

Food was great, staff was great. Our server was amazing and very knowledgeable of celiac and gluten needs.

Gayle Coomes

INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS!!! Best gluten-free crust ever!!!

Theodosia Clemens

It’s a super beautiful restaurant and the food was really tasty. I was disappointed when I read and was told that the restaurant has Gluten Free Options, but that you don't have a separate gluten free fryer.. It really limited the options down to what is actually gluten free, and not just called gluten free because it has gluten free flour. Cross contamination for someone with Celiacs disease or a gluten allergy can really be dangerous. It was also very expensive for it not being gluten free product. Other than that, it was really nice and our server was sweet. CELIACS: NOT ACTUALLY GLUTEN FREE ⚠️

Candy Kuhl

The gluten-free cheeseburger was delicious! Although the French fries are not gluten-free, I opted for a side salad instead. Overall, it was a very satisfying meal.

Alicia Mendoza

Sam P was a great server! Abundant gluten free options. Will be back again!

Dave Brown

The block this pizza place is on its wonderful. My wife has gluten and dairy allergies, and this was the first pizza place she's been able to eat at for quite some time. She was thrilled to find it, and the pizza was excellent.

Shalyse Ise

Food was very good. Our server Alyssa was very nice. Lots of vegan and vegetarian options as well as gluten free

Allison Henderson

Delicious food and great service! There were lots of gluten free options. Our server, Scott, was so helpful and professional!

Evangeline Grunden

My uncle and I picked up pizza to go and it was a delightful experience. The gentleman working the counter shared lovely conversation. We waited just a minute for our order, so he would update us on how close they were and brought food out as he could. The gluten free was delicious. So grateful!

Marcos Almonte Perez

Update 9/13/24 Finally dined in and had a great time. The food was outstanding. You had Gluten Free options and alternatives! You can't beat the flavor and service!

V. L. Gall

Yes they have gluten free options

Edward Klasky

The chicken tender meal was over cooked and seemed like it came out of a frozen bag! I got a plate of tail end fries and the waitress forgot my cup of chili. Thankful now! The double smash burger was dripping wet in grease if you like that kind of thing YUK! The gluten free bun was dry and just fell apart. Now I understand why nobody was in the place. First and last time here!

Tyler Ann Hopkins

First Watch is so so good! The atmosphere is fun and inviting and kid friendly. I love the Mint Mocha and Traditional Breakfast! It's perfect for dietary restrictions to as they have gluten free options and cater more to the healthy side. We drive an hour one way to eat at First Watch and it's so worth it!

Chelsea Meyer

We went to The Capital Grille a couple weeks ago for our anniversary celebration. They truly made us feel special at Capital Grille. They knew we were celebrating our anniversary and they acknowledged that many times throughout the night. The table was nicely decorated for our anniversary, they left us a card and a rose. I can’t eat gluten and they were attentive and cautious with all of my food to ensure I had a safe dining experience. They even had a GF menu! All the food was delicious! They surprised us for dessert and brought out two deserts, one for my husband and a GF chocolate espresso cake for me. It was divine! They paid attention to every detail and really made us feel valued and appreciated for spending our night with them. It made us feel we chose the right place to spend our time and money. I’d definitely go back there!

Katy Knerr

The food variety is great and it tastes great. They also have gluten free options.

Edward Wilson

Lori Davis

Amazing dinner! Wait staff was so thoughtful and friendly. Our entire party enjoyed our meal. As someone with celiac, they were happy to oblige my dietary needs. For an Italian restaurant, I was so pleasantly surprised with all of the gluten free food options. The patio was also beautiful! I will 100% be back! Wonderful experience!

Lauren Klinedinst

I love this place. As someone who has to eat gluten free this is really a treat. The carbonara with GF pasta is what dreams are made of.

Hailey

Reasonably priced food for ths atmosphere and food presentation/freshness. It was really good. The bacon was so yummy. They also have gluten free bread!

James Murdock

Rick’s Cafe Boatyard has been on our list of date-night restaurants to check out for a long time. We finally made it and we’re happy we did. Even with some construction work happening, the atmosphere was nice. They had several gluten-free options for us to choose from. We chose bacon wrapped scallops and shrimp tacos (see the photos), and it was all delicious. Our server was great… very attentive, friendly and helpful.

Richard Spartan

I loved everything I ate. Portion for cost is fair. I wish the gluten free option wasn’t so strict with using corn on corn.

Richard Nussle

Great restaurant close to downtown. The service is great and the servers are knowledgeable about the menu and wine. They always have a vegan and gluten free entree. When you first sit down you get a small glass of champagne which is a nice touch. On our last visit we got the smoked carrots and they were shockingly good. The carrot soup was excellent and then for entrees I got long trumpet mushrooms and my wife got the Sacchetoni en Brodo. She said hers was good. The peanut parfait is amazing and a must get to finish the meal. It is on the pricier side but it is with it in my opinion.
