The food was good, the waiter was nice but,.... Food was served without utensils or napkins. I ordered a gluten free dish and it came with Italian bread placed on top. The extra dishes to share the appetizers were dirty. All this was discussed with the manager who was nice and accommodating.

This place was amazing and very accommodating to our dietary allergies! Two in our party have allergies to gluten (Celiac’s Disease), dairy, and tree nuts. A special shoutout to Al for going above and beyond for us! 10/10 would definitely recommend

Very nice place to eat a dinner, very busy, huge portions, one order can feed 4 people. tons of dietary restriction food, gluten free, garlic free, etc. highly recommend.

Wanted a quick bite (and a drink!) for dinner and decided to hit Vagabond (AC location). I usually eat plant-based and knew from past visits that they offer a fantastic hummus platter and veggie burger. Sure enough, those options were available (thank you for keeping vegan options!!) and I went with the sweet potato fries which were a real treat. The waiter was very helpful when I told him that I was allergic to dairy. He explained what was available, what could be modified, and pointed out which items contained diary. He also pointed out happy hour drink specials. Great price point on the specials. We ordered the hummus platter to start. Now, a hummus platter may sound boring but this isn't-just try it. It is so fresh and every single time I've ordered it, I just dive into the pita. Those little grilled wedges are so, so good. I don't know if they're homemade or store bought, but that pita is amazing with their hummus. The veggie burger was really flavorful, not overly salty at all, and a good size. It was a bit mushy for my liking. The fries are seasoned with a little cinnamon sugar blend & it's just enough to make them really special. I appreciate a fun local spot that offers different options (gluten free, vegan, vegetarian) and I hope that Vagabond will consider expanding their vegan menu!

Went for my birthday. We usually split our meals in the better steakhouses because of the size of the portions. Ther bone in ribeye was very fatty, and on the small size. Chop salad was just ok. Waiter was good. Also we informed them about gluten free allergy. They must of cross contaminated, so beware if you have food allergy. Left hungry. No more wasting money on a Morton again.

One of the finest and most unique restaurants in the AC area. Chef Garces has created a delicious and unique menu (which also happens to be mostly gluten free by the way). The service is top notch no matter when you go or who you get. But if you get Cheech as your server, you’ll probably ask for him next time :) There are no finer dining views in all of NJ than at Amada. Panoramic ocean and boardwalk views, even if you are not seated at the window tables. The cocktails and sangrias are delicious. Everything on the menu is great but I highly suggest the pork dishes as an entree. The pernil, Iberico steak and paellas are out of this world. A great spot for a celebratory dinner, and when they offer their holiday brunches, they are just the best anywhere.

I just want to give Jonny Rockets a five star for their good food and good service. I want to give a big thumbs up to our favorite server Diane who helped me with my gluten free allergy. She introduced me to a gluten free bun that finally allowed me to eat one of their delicious burgers. We love you Diane! We definitely need more servers like you!😊

They could not have made our anniversary feel any less special if they tried. When we booked, we made sure to note it was our 25th wedding anniversary. We did the same when we got to the restaurant, and the host acted as if he didn't even hear me. Which I thought for a minute that he didn't, because he seated us at a table next to a family with very rambunctious kids. When I asked about the more private looking booths (again, mentioning the desire for a romantic evening) I was told, 'they are all reserved'. I made my reservations over a month earlier, so I'm not sure how far in advance you might need to book to be treated to one of these booths. I may never know ... the likelihood of us going back is slim. The waiter seemed to be distracted all evening. As he was always looking somewhere else, and seemed unable to answer most of our questions, or even seem to hear them. It was as if he couldn’t wait to get us out of there. Keep in mind it was a Tuesday night at 6pm. The place was not overly busy. The only acknowledgment of the occasion came when he literally dropped a small cake on the table with a candle, mumbled something about, ‘happy anniversary’ and ran away ... Might we have liked a picture to capture the moment? Or even a chance to order a coffee to have with the desert (which was not gluten free .. even though my wife’s whole meal was GF). We were specially disappointed because we had been so looking forward to the experience. We had read about Angeline’s in New Jersey magazine and had heard so much about their wonderful service. There was also mention of their special gluten free options. Turns out they have one type of gluten free pasta and none of the deserts, bread or appetizers were GF.

This place is a hidden gem! I would never have expected something so perfect to exist just two blocks off the boardwalk! I won a giveaway from do215, and a very generous $100 gift card was The Cardinal’s contribution, and boy was it generous!! The setup is super cool, with repurposed shipping containers framing an outdoor garden and courtyard, leading diners to large glass doors and a welcoming and spacious interior. Mike, the host, was warm and inviting, leading us past hanging plants and tastefully rustic but classy accents of large timbers and concrete to a nice sized table for four. The menu is perfect. Small enough to indicate a focus on quality and a concise theme, but diverse enough to offer something for everyone. There are lots of vegan and gluten free options, tons of starters and salads, and a straightforward kids menu with everyone kids want. The prices are incredible across the board for this quality of food, service, and atmosphere, and if you’re looking to imbibe a thoughtful and delicious alcoholic beverage, there are multiple bars with all the classics, signature craft cocktails, and an extensive wine list to pair with every meal choice. (La muerte verde fue muy incredible!) We didn’t leave room for dessert, but wish we had, as all three classic offerings, flour-free chocolate cake, carrot cake, and cheesecake, sounded perfect. If you go and you’re gluten-intolerant, I suggest you avoid the lamb burger, as the textures and flavors of the lamb and goat cheese didn’t pair all that well with the gluten free bun. And the fact that I have nothing else to warn about is certainly not for lack of a critical perspective. The Cardinal was just that ideal on an August Friday night. If you’re on the fence, go. It’s gotta be among the best AC has to offer.

This may be one of the better meals that I have had in my Life. To start, everything on the menu was clearly labeled Gluten Free if it was, so this was a huge help. We started with the chilled seafood sampler for two which was AMAZING. I have never said this in my Life, but I think the top neck clams may have been the highlight of this dish. We then split a Maine chowder, and this was stellar. Finally we had the crab stuffed flounder and red snapper dishes that were out of this world. Jodie was a fantastic server and she even got young Connor (the piano player) to play Purple Rain for me on my Birthday. We will absolutely be back. This time, with more people. Go here.

This Rainforest Cafe, located on the boardwalk of Atlantic City, New Jersey was the requested spot to have dinner by my granddaughters after a competition nearby. We arrived at the busiest time possible and expected to have to wait but surprisingly did not have to wait. We were given a great table towards the back of the restaurant. I am both gluten and dairy-free and the manager I believe, took my situation into account and discussed food options with the chef to provide me with a meal that was not only delicious but also safe. I have never eaten in a Rainforest Cafe before but I will look forward to enjoying their food in the future.

I love a good steak! The restaurant has these booths so if you want an even more romantic feel make sure to request one. Service was amazing and of course I was happy that there were more than two gluten free options for dinner

Jennifer Lewicki

Our entire party unanimously agreed this was the best meal of our trip. The waitess, Mirla, and team provided excellence service which only enhanced the meal. Mirla was also very informed regarding the dietary restrictions of our group and helped with alternatives that were not listed on the menu(specifically gluten free, which was troublesome at some other area restaurants). We will definitely be returning!

Nice, genuine Italian eatery that did not quite live up to the hype. We went for happy hour and sat at the bar. Our server was polite but never cracked a smile (until the check came) or really made us feel welcome. We had high hopes for the cocktails but they were quite bitter. Appetizers were delicious but portions were teeny tiny. More like tapas than appetizers. The stars of the show were the pasta entrees. Both my bolognese and my wife’s dish were excellent. Deep rich meaty flavors and properly cooked gluten free pasta. The ambience at Girasole is sort of a Tucson patio theme. It’s more successful in the entry dining room by the bar than in the larger secondary dining room. Overall we enjoyed our meal, but at this price point there are better choices for good Italian dining in AC.

Beautiful place for an outdoor breakfast! Food was delicious and the staff are so helpful and friendly. I'm gluten intolerant and they were kind enough to prepare my food in a safe manor.

Paola Barjas

my diet is gluten free, my friends wanted to come here so I went, they have not indicated in the menu if they have gluten free options, but they had no problem in giving me my hamburger wrapped in lettuce and it was great!

ann edmonds

The one at the Tropicana is so much friendlier than the original. I called in an order and asked them to make a sandwich with no bread for a coworker who is gluten intolerant, not sensitive. They said they couldn't do it. Called Tropicana and they did it without hesitation.

Matt Faircloth

Incredible food. Top 10 of my life, really. Super authentic Italian food, many of the dishes were prepared table side which is fun. Plenty of gluten free options as they make most things from scratch. Our friend made the reservation but I'm told it was very hard to do. You have to call ahead 2 weeks away from when you want to come in. Exactly 2 weeks as you can't book any further out than that and they sell out in just a few minutes. So call and call at noon exactly 2 weeks out. It's a small but very authentic venue. Service was OK, our waiter could have stopped by a bit more. Overall it was a great experience and I would go back for sure, if I can get a reservation!

It is a good local spot in atlantic city. The vibe is good and the outdoor seating area is huge and there was a music band. There is some gluten free options. They are working on labeling the dietary restrictions in the menu. However, the waiter was helpful and knowledgeable about Celiac and gluten allergy.

Adelina Ferrandino

Fantastic dinner great ambiance! Staff was extremely attentive the food was amazing and very accommodating if you have issues with gluten or spiciness...will go again!

Kristina Mueller

Absolutely amazing experience. From the incredible service that we got from Leah to the delicious food… I could not recommend this place enough. We had a large group (8 people) and felt so welcomed. Marvin, the head chef, even came out to confirm what a member of our party wanted in order to accommodate a gluten allergy. We couldn’t have asked for a better dinner experience. Go to this place, you won’t regret it!!

Sandy Bollo-Valdivieso

This is a wonderful food! All most of their food is gluten free and dairy free. Totally recommend coming here if you have these allergies.
