Son recently became gluten free and was looking for restaurant in the area that had some choices. We had BLT's and sweet potato fries. They were fantastic and would never know bread was GF. Fantastic customer service! Inside seating was very clean with a welcoming atmosphere. Will definitely come again when back in this area!

Delicious gluten free and vegan pancakes. My husband enjoyed the Tuscan omelette. The Greek yogurt parfait could have been a little larger. Service was great!

Mark Valcarcel

👋, thank you so much for the information about gluten free, but couldn't taste it the onion and bacon was FANTASTIC...see you later... EZ

Ben North

Great take out dumpling place! Many gluten free dumplings too! Try their pork bao buns!

Greg Roberge

this is my second visit there and everything was just as delicious as it was the first time. The service is impeccable. Drinks are creative and well crafted. Lots of gluten free options and Bespoke small plates worth checking out. Definitely try the Fried Mozz!

Stephanie Amoroso

Rio Salado has great food and much of it is gluten free. The chips are made in a dedicated fryer. My daughter has celiac and traveling is always stressful but not this time!

Eleanor McClellan

I have to begin by saying that my experience at J Law Kitchen & Craft Bar was outstanding! We hosted a bridal shower for my daughter and it was such a great event! The Event Manager, Clara was so helpful from the first time I contacted her. We met to discuss decorations, menu options and how the room would be set up. My daughter, as well as a few guests required a gluten free menu and we had so many options! The day of the shower, the bridesmaids were able to get into the room in plenty of time to decorate before the guests arrived. The buffet was set up just off the sitting room which made it so easy to move about. Our main server, Jayra was on top of all the drink orders and plates were cleared efficiently. All of the guests were very complimentary of the food and the service.

Great gluten free options! Suitable for celiacs!

Justin Lulejian

Really good indian food with many gluten free options

J Poulin

First off let me just say this place isn't gluten free not if your partner especially needs gluten free items and eats here and gets sick don't eat here if you need gluten free items I will say another thing yesterday when we were here I got the shrimp and grits which came out cold could care less about the shrimp but the grits being cold come on now then the whole meal smelling like pure fish NOPE didn't sit well I got sick afterwards overall it's a nice restaurant they don't care how you dress they are friendly but please make sure your food is gluten free when someone has allergies to food and got hives and got sick when that is the only thing they ate from here and the menu states gluten free would give better stars but not when people get sick

Barbara O'Marra

Our waiter was Stanley. He was friendly, attentive and polite. As always our food was so good and we safely ate gluten free!

I love that this restaurant has gluten free options and takes allergies seriously! I wasn't thrilled with the service tho. My husband and I made a reservation Friday evening for a date. I picked on open table a standard table, assuming that's in the dining area not the bar. When we arrived, they were busy and it appeared they ran out of tables so they seated us at one the extended tables from the bar. I wasn't happy with the experience there, although the bartender took our orders quickly and was friendly, no one ever came back to check on us. I had a request for extra sauce but no one came by. I would have rather waited for a table than be seated at the bar, because you don't make a reservation to just sit at the bar.

Jade Warzenski

Used to frequent the wood-n-tap in Milford/Orange area. Loved that place, the food was always good & the atmosphere was great too. This was not that. Although our waiter was very friendly. The food wasn't great. My wife has celiacs, & they had gluten free buns apparently. The waiter mentioned he knew about cross contamination, but I think the cook staff didn't. My wife got very sick shortly after eating here. We had a party of 5, the other couple weren't very happy with their food either. 2 of us got some breaded chicken sandwich. I don't recommend it. It looked like it was breaded & fried several times over before they put it on a sandwich. I hope this location doesn't represent all of the locations. If so, I do not recommend coming here. Hopefully this was a 1 time event. Try if your feeling adventurous. We will not be coming back.

TJ McGuckin

Food and service were fantastic. I got the breakfast burrito and added a hasbrown inside of it. The thing was massive and very good. All wait staff was very nice. Coffee was great too. Classic old school diner look and feel. Glad to see they have multiple Gluten Free options + sourdough bread too.

Jennifer Turpin

Always a favorite when visiting that area. The food is always great, and we leave with vegan/gluten free desserts that rival no vegan/gluten free bakeries.

Tony Lupis

By far one of the best gluten free dining experiences my wife (celiac) and I have had!! Delicious food, great gluten free options, and awesome service!! Worth the trip!!

Bill Jameson

The gluten free options have us coming back all the time. Thank you.

Christopher Chanowitz

Good food, great service. Very quaint and cozy. Lots of gluten free options. Food was hot and delicious 😋. Service impeccable.

Martha Rogers

Lots of Gluten Free choices (but they do charge extra for gf breads)

David Ruderman

Great sandwiches. House made chips. Gluten free options for everything. Near the state beach. What’s not to like ?

Rowan Roshong

Great gluten free pizza!

Sofia Mariona-Gonzalez

This is the best gluten free pasta I've ever had !! I'm almost afraid it's too good to be true 😅

Sofia Mariona-Gonzalez

great gluten free options !! i always call in and my food is ready within 15 min - always delicious :)

Rossmery Pesantez

During our 2nd visit tonight we had the garlic Parmesan wings and ordered two personal pizzas. There was a minor mistake in our order and the manager went above and beyond to make things right. We will definitely be coming back sooner rather than later. Definitely recommend going!!! And please don’t pass out on the garlic Parmesan wings!!! They also offer gluten free options!!!

Michelle Clarkson

I’m a super sensitive celiac and had zero reaction here. I cannot wait to go back!!

K D E

Was seated quickly for how busy it was on a Sunday morning and the gluten-free pancakes were delicious!!

Claire Robertson

Beautiful place! Really good food including vegan options, gluten-free options, and mocktails. Charming atmosphere and extremely friendly staff.

Deborah Haffner

Great place for breakfast! Such a welcoming atmosphere and wonderful morning specials! Terrific cheerful service and not a long wait for food or service. Love that there is a gluten free menu as well. Will be back!

Shari Ryan

Super cute place, lovely owners, great staff and delicious food and drinks. They also are great at handling Gluten Free needs. I love that I have options there.

Ellen Brower Gately

We love this place and look forward to returning every time we leave. (As a plus, they have gluten-free hot dog and hamburger buns)

Greg Shimer

Gluten free French toast!

Ashley P.I

The food was very good (although the French toast could use a bit more cinnamon and vanilla imo), also the hasbrown was literally the best I've had in a long time. Super crispy yet light! Overall it was a very nice restaurant and had a pleasant experience. The coffee is good and the staff was very friendly and accommodating with my dietary needs. They offer a decent variety of gluten-free food, including gf bread, and neither my mom nor I had a reaction (we're both celiac)! The portions are very generous as well!

Alexandra Maldonado

I went here for dinner with a friend before a concert nearby. The food was delicious and I was so excited that there is gluten free mac and cheese (I'm gluten free, unfortunately not by choice!). We live a little over an hour away and are planning to drive here.

Jason Pettrey

Great local restaurant with gluten-free options. Good beer, selection and nice chili. Had some live jazz music on Saturday night as we came through as well. Not college cheap, but the food was good quality. Definitely put on your list to check out.

Buzz Minickene

Hands down the best Chinese food on the shoreline and maybe Connecticut. Always fresh meat, seafood and vegetables prepared without a ton of oils, sauces and salt/s to drown flavor. They also will prepare dishes for you including doing gluten free on dishes like General Tso’s or sesame chicken with rice/tapioca flour vs wheat.flour.

Jennifer Schneider

We found this place online before a road trip through the area, as they had gluten-free pizza crust and vegan cheese available for me. My pizza was amazing, as was my fiance's regular crust/cheese pizza. Our server was lovely and the atmosphere was very old-school pub, with large brick pizza ovens in view. Definitely a place to visit in West Hartford :]

Lahiru Subasinghe

This is the third time we've tried their pizza, and it consistently amazes us with its perfect blend of spices. This time, we tried the Hot Oil, Stingers, Mushrooms, Onions, and Anchovies, and everyone loved it. Their gluten-free pizzas are excelent too and brings the same flavours as in the regular one. Although there were long queues for both dine-in and pick-up, it was definitely worth the wait.

Lindsey Houser

Lots of gluten-free options. I have some other allergies and they were very accommodating. Gluten-free fish and chips was absolutely delicious! Honestly, you couldn't tell it was gluten free. Drinks were tasty and service was excellent!

Delish unique French inspired breakfast and lunch with many gluten free options Amazing lattes too! The sweet lady at the barista counter was very attentive and genuinely kind Great portions too! And the soup was truly comfort food!

Family H

They take allergies seriously. Especially gluten free. Just ask for a manager, she will take care of you. Food fresh, and so good!!!!

Theresa Riddle

Kaitlyn A

Great gluten free options and dedicated prep space for gluten free options. They are moving to new location and opening back up after Labor Day at new location right down street.

anna

When I say it was incredible. I mean incredible. The service couldn’t have been any better. If I could give it a 6/5 I would do it without hesitation. They are careful with gluten allergy’s and take it very seriously. They make me not want to go back to my hometown for pizza. IT WAS INCREDIBLE!!!!

Pam Stan

I have celiac disease and our waiter Josh was very helpful, and patient, when it came to helping me find out what was gf. The food was absolutely amazing 10/10 experience definitely going back!

Terri Moore

Stopped in hoping to get some gluten free food. After ordering coffee, we decided the gluten free options were not for us. I went to the counter to pay for the coffee and politely explained we were looking for something different. The cook proceeded to rattle off all the things she could cook. I politely declined. She continued listing her gluten free accomplishments, pancakes and French toast, to which I declined AGAIN. It came to the point where it was almost badgering. I said “No, thanks,” yet again and that’s when her face changed to anger/disgust, and she slapped her hand down on the counter where I had a placed a $5. Absolutely AWFUL customer service.I actually give zero stars for her childish behavior.

Gluten-free eaters, beware. I have Celiac Disease. I can’t have gluten, full stop. When I walked into Red 36, I saw a sign on the wall identifying not only the 9 major food allergies, but also the safe handling practices a kitchen should follow for each one. Great! This is a sign that tells people with intolerances that we will be taken care of here. Once seated, I told the waitress about my intolerance, and she immediately brought me a gluten-free menu. Another good sign. I ordered the gluten-free tuna burger, which (according to the gluten-free menu) is supposed to omit the bun, fries, and anything else containing gluten. When my plate came out with fries, I knew something was off. I asked the waitress, and she apologized, confirmed that the fries were not gluten-free and offered to bring me a side salad instead. Separately, I started eating the tuna, but was surprised to find (buried beneath the fish and a pile of coleslaw) crispy egg noodles. I stopped eating and again asked the waitress if my order was gluten free. She returned to the kitchen and informed me that, (1) the crispy noodles were not gluten free, (2) despite having apparently put “gluten free” on my order, the whole meal was not gluten free, (3) the same thing happened at the table next to ours, despite having notified the kitchen accordingly. So, having unknowingly eaten gluten, I now have to wait out a week or more of painful symptoms of my Celiac Disease. I expect a lot more from restaurants that purport to exercise care for people with food allergies. It’s one thing if a kitchen is not equipped to cook according to dietary restrictions—I can manage my expectations. It is quite another when a restaurant is equipped to safely serve people with intolerances, communicates this to the patrons, and then fails to do so twice in a matter of an hour. There’s a lot of trust I have to put into restaurants, and I regret doing so in this instance. I’m beyond grateful that my intolerance doesn’t send me into anaphylaxis. I hope that, wherever the breakdown happened between ordering and serving, it gets resolved before other folks with food intolerances get sick. TL;DR gluten free diners, proceed with caution.
