I had Rigatoni. It was delicious. The scenery is very pretty and formal. Service is very nice but it took us a while to get our food. Definitely not a quick bite. The truffle fries are delicious as well. Clearly label vegetarian, vegan and gluten free dishes.

Heather Neuman

Food was amazing. Great atmosphere, rapid service. We dined in. I do not recommend if Gluten Free for actual allergy as I did get ill shortly after leaving as I do with cross contamination. They are spot on with gluten friendly.

Peyton Moore

Delicious and very good for gluten free peeps.

Sophie Lennon

My boyfriend and I are both celiac. We went back three times on our week long trip to have the gluten free pizza and Cloud 9 wings. Nef is the best bartender and even showed us the ingredient list for the pizza dough incase it interfered with another allergy of mine

Patrick Conley

I ordered a full rack. I was disappointed in the sams club sides, no scratch items like greens. The ribs were good, nothing exceptional, slightly over cooked. Super risky for gluten free here. Lots of better bbq in town.

Had the most amazing lunch at the Omi Hotel! They had a dedicated fryer for gluten free buffalo wings, tots and fries and gluten free buns for the burgers as well!!

Julia

Great place! Fantastic menu, great for gluten free choices. Prices match the quality and the service was great. Definitely give this place a visit.

Joyce Cheng

The best brunch buffet I’ve ever had!! Loved visiting Adele’s for my bachelorette. Had a couple of friends with dietary restrictions including celiac, and the staff were so happy to accommodate. Special shoutouts to Megan, the most incredible and friendly waitress ever, and the amazing chef Jerry! Would recommend to anyone visiting Nashville! 💕

Warren Christensen

Our server, SHRAYA was absolutely fabulous and made us feel well taken care of and added to making the night very special. The Tuscan salad had way too much dressing on it, Bronzino was good And it was fabulous that you make that gluten-free,, pasta with cauliflower was very nice, The gluten-free donuts was spectacular. Thank you

Ryan Yousif

GLUTEN FREE FRIENDLY 🙂 Very tasty and filling. Good portions and prices. Staff was friendly. All the bowls are gluten free according to the staff.

Liz Abrams

Becky was our waitress and she was fantastic. Lots of gluten-free options and they were very careful about making sure we were safe to eat. Wonderful place to eat.

An invite from our friend @thetipjarnash took us to @sundanewasian for one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in Nashville. Its name is a nod to the Southeast Asian continental shelf underlying the region inspiring the myriad of flavors highlighted by the array of cuisine from founder @billydec and executive chef @mike_sunda From Dim Sum to sushi rolls, main courses and “new Asian creations,” there is truly something on the menu for everyone. As always, we’ve posted a guide to our “reel” menu below in case you want to say, “I want what they had” (and we’re pretty sure you will.) 🍹: Grass Tiger & Strawberry Fields 🍣: Signature Crispy Rice {Wagyu & Spicy Tuna} 🥗: Crispy Brussels Sprouts 🍱: Sweet Potato Caterpillar & Island Maki 🐟: Tom Yum Sea Bass 🥮: Bibingka* Also of note: Kevin our waiter was incredibly kind and knowledgeable - he elevated the entire dining experience and we’d definitely recommend requesting seating in his section. Also a huge thanks to Matt for his hospitality and attention. Thank you Sunda for a top-notch experience from food to service, start to finish. *Bibingka was an off-menu dessert item that you absolutely should ask for. If you happen to have a gluten sensitivity, bonus points that this cake is made with rice flour! In fact, many items on the menu are friendly to dairy, gluten and other allergies or sensitivities. Also of note, most of their cocktails can be served as mocktails without sacrificing any flavor so you can still drink decadently without imbibing!

Shannon Farthing

Emmy Squared was amazing! We chose this restaurant bc of the gluten free crust option! This was the best pizza, you would never know it was gluten free. Hands down a win!

Bridgette Larocque

has great gluten free options and they were super understanding about my celiac disease and ensured there was no cross contract.

Corey Goldman

Hands down the best ice cream I’ve ever had without all the garbage chemicals and poison they put in our food supply. Can not recommend this place enough. They even have gluten free options. Just such amazing and delicious ice cream!

Eric Michaud

This place had great service and very good atmosphere. We were on the patio a group of 12. This is higher end and designed for sharing. The portion sizes were bigger than they said (tri tip easily feed 4 of us). You get what you pay for, it was high quality and great tasting food, and priced accordingly. Also has a great whiskey collection and one of the best gluten free menus.

Brooklynn Mangum

Paige was amazing! So sweet and knowledgeable about the gluten free items!

Chloe H

Great selection of gluten-free meals on the menu and servers were very knowledgeable and understanding of my allergy. Food was really yummy and the coffee was the best we had whilst visiting nashville. I will be back again next time I'm in Nashville without a doubt.

Alexi James

Jessica was the best server! We waited at the bar for a few minutes while our table was getting cleaned. Dinner was amazing, service was amazing, and we really enjoyed our dessert. Our server, Jessica, was sensitive to my husband’s gluten allergy. She let us know all the menu options that were available to him and all the ones that could be available to him with adjustments. We LOVED The Magi live music group!! We will definitely be back!

Moshe Sananes

The food was just ok, not great. Wait time and service are pretty long. Not really worth the wait. But they have gluten-free options, which we need.

Daniel Norris

This place was kind of a cluster. The good: My wife got the aztec bowl & that was pretty good. And the baked fries that came with my burger were really good. The bad: They served up a Cesar salad to our friend without any dressing, and had a hard time finding the dressing when asked for some. The Shitake Teriyaki burger was just a smear of mushroom, cabbage, and sauce on a bun and looked nothing like the picture on the menu. The ugly: They tried to convince me that a whole wheat bun was gluten free. It took a few minutes, but they eventually checked the packaging from the buns and re-made the burger on a small GF bagle. They didn't actually have any GF buns despite it being on the menu, and it sounded like their cook didn't know what GF meant. This could result in someone with ceilac getting really sick from their food. I expect better from a restaurant like this.

Adriene Essex Williams

A classic with delicious food and amazing staff. Love that they have gluten free pancakes!

Michael

I have Celiacs, so I got a classic burger with gluten free bun and side salad. I wanted tater tots, but when I asked if fries and tots have a dedicated fryer, the server informed me everything is fried in the same oil. So no tots for me. The sprite I ordered tasted disgusting. The syrup must have been running out. Server brought me a drink "from the back" it was much better. However when she brought another refill she must have forgot and I got the disgusting sprite again. Order was not correct. I watched the server put the order in correctly. Burger did not have cheese and salad had tomatoes. Specifically asked for cheese on my burger and no tomatoes in the salad. At least they got the gluten free bun correct. Manager was at the next table and he saw me not eating my food. I was waiting for our server. He asked if there was anything wrong. He gave me my meal for free and had my order redone. Burger was just ok. Service was mediocre. Server was fine but was more attentive to the bigger parties which I get. Server was knowledgeable about how food was prepared but was not very knowledgeable about what foods on the menu were gluten free. Luckily the food I did eat did not cause any issues. However, I will not be going back.

Steven Clark

Many good options. We found celiac friendly options. The atmosphere was similar to an Asian style Hawker market, but much less haggard.

Jill Swisher

I appreciate that they had plenty of gluten free options!

Dino

Good place to eat with a typical menu for a Hard Rock. They had gluten-free options which was great. Prices are fair for a restaurant on Broadway. Shout out to Angi who was our hostess and was fantastic.

Lisa Mayberry

Many gluten-free options as shared plates, entrée, and dessert. I had a wonderful birthday dinner here with the topper being the gluten-free cherry cheesecake.

Serena M

This restaurant has great variety. Our group had two vegans, a meat and potatoes guy, and someone avoiding gluten. We all had great options that were delicious! I would highly recommend the oat cakes!

Brynna Hower

Kiara E was our server and she was amazing! I’m gluten free (celiac) and when I mentioned this to Kiara, she told me she’s gluten free as well and gave me tons of recommendations and put my mind at ease when ordering. And the food was seriously perfect.

Krista Seifert

Great service and atmosphere. Best food I’ve had in a long time. Plus I am gluten free and they have many great options!

Cheri Mann

Love the myriad of flavors in the Poke bowl. Party in your mouth! Friendly staff. Fun place. Especially good for gluten free peeps.

Ashlea was such an amzing server. Lovely personality. Food was great and the atmosphere was lovely. And their gluten free menu was very accommodating and gave many options.

Chloe Kampe

The food was excellent! Tried their winter menu creations and were blown away! Jazmine our server was very accommodating with my celiac disease in finding foods to have. The only part that I wasn’t a huge fan of was the very loud music.

Margaret Johnson

Delicious. Excellent service. Wonderful gluten sensitive options!

Adam AIT BIHI

I was there with some friends this Saturday. Everyone had a different sandwich to be able to try different things from the menu. The Brie and fig was original and the brisket sandwich was really as well but for me the best was the pimento cheese with Mac n cheese sandwich, it’s definitely my favorite and the pimento cheese and the Mac combo match really well it’s a 10/10 for this melt. Overall great experience, the service was quick and their gluten free options allowed my friend who has celiac to eat with us. I also wan to mention that they have vegan and vegetarian options, a very complete menu.

Austin Ma

They say you should always follow the fat kid to find a good restaurant, and rest assured, according to my near-morbidly obese BMI index, this fatty sure has found a good place for y’all to enjoy I came here expecting a typical ramen bowl, however, due to my gluten intolerance i took the “Donburi” chinese rice bowl which had fried eggplants, dry-ginger-spiced pork belly, and amazing number of other flavors. Truly unlike anything I’ve ever had haha

Paola Hegedus

DELISH!!!! This was probably one of the best smash burgers I’ve ever had (ordered without a bun bc I’m gluten free) AND I didn’t expect this but the chef made sure my order was cooked separately from anything with gluten!!! So sweet of them! Eat here!!

Amy Bolan

Impossible Burger and gluten free buns available. Waffle fries regular and sweet potato are very good.

D S

RULES! So many rules. No cash, cannot bring in your starbucks coffee, etc.. but food was really good. I had the cheeseburger well done (not today, E.Coli) but it was very dry. They must use very lean meat.. but it was still very tasty. We had a person in out party who was very gluten allergic, and they took excellent care in preparation of her food. So definitely give this place a try!

Bach H

Your server, Nira, was wonderful! I can only eat gluten free and she went out of her way to help me find something good to eat. Our orders were right (even though she didn’t need to write it down!) and drinks were good! Thanks Nira for the great service and making it fun!

Elizabeth Morgan

Their gluten free hot honey avocado toast is so heavenly. :)

Karen Pr

Wonderful time at dinner. We celebrated our 30th anniversary and wanted something special—and we got it! Food was fabulous (he got the filet; I got the flatiron). Arielle was our server and gave us excellent attention—not too much and not too little. We never felt rushed nor forgotten. My husband has celiac, so we were very appreciative of the staff’s attention and care. The chocolate torte is worth a special trip! We were able to thoroughly enjoy the experience. Minnie Murphy and the band did not disappoint. Excellent music and lots of fun! Everyone made us feel super special as we celebrated this milestone. Thank you, Sambuca!

Really good food and great gluten free pancakes 🥞 😋

Let's start with parking....there isn't any to speak of around the building. The few spots available are always taken. The parking lot in the back of the building is for chefs and the likes. Parking garages are within 5 minutes of walking, and Whole Foods validates if you make a purchase (we did). We had made a reservation, so being seated was fast. The wait staff was pleasant enough and helpful in making menu selections. Follow-up could have been better. The atmosphere was outdated and lacking. The floors looked worn and in need of better maintenance. I ordered gluten-free vegan and was impressed by the corn tortillas. The plate lacked freshness and color (personal opinion). Didn't eat much off my plate. My companion ordered a dish with potatoes, and they were "frosted" with salt. I always check the restroom for cleanliness, and it was well-taken care of. Check out the porcelain units in the restroom as they are interesting (not a complaint). I really expected more from a food celebrity (if your name is associated with the restaurant, you own the praise or criticism) on a well-known food network, and for these reasons, we had to ch*p you.

Can’t say enough about our server Sarah. She was a delight . Friendly , smart , attentive and she made accommodations for my husband who has gluten restrictions . The chef made steak sauce from scratch and Sarah made it happen for me to make a full meal out of my favorite appetizer shrimp scampi . Plus the shrimp was very fresh . If I could give 20 stars , I would . Exceptional experience after a tiring long day of graduation . Class act all the way . Highly recommend this place .

I paid $30 for the egg plate. Im gluten free so I asked to replace the biscuit with something else. Any option I picked I had to pay for the side extra. It was $4.50 for the salad on the picture. This place does not accomodate for gluten free allergies.

Courtney Jacobs

Megan Pfaff

Zero stars. My friend and I both have celiac disease. The menu has gluten free items marked and servers who ask about allergies. We thought it was safe. After ordering her tacos and taking some bites she questioned the tortillas and the fish. After questioning, we were told the menu was wrongly printed and her tortilla and fish were not gluten free as stated. It’s incorrect on their online menu too. Terrible experience and she suffered terribly. Allergies need to be taken more seriously.

True Renew

This restaurant is incredible. We ordered 3 incredible gluten free vegan pizzas from Serenity Pizza (in the same location) and a beautiful Cobb salad from Copper Branch. The gf pizza crust was perfect. Not the cardboard gf pizza crust we have had elsewhere. Our kids absolutely loved it, especially our daughter who has a wheat and egg allergy. And our 6 year old wiped out on the sidewalk, and the very present woman who served us got out her first aid kit and gloves and dressed his wounds. They gave us ice and comfort. The “park ambassador” Patricia across the street came with bandaids too and even got our son a vegan cookie. Wow. So grateful we found this place. They really care.
