We found this place on the Happy Cow app and are all happy that we did. It was a really good find that all 3 of us were able to eat a good meal and enjoy the atmosphere. I ran across the GM, Cookie, upon arrival and he was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. He answered all of my questions regarding gluten free and vegan options and told me how they work. He suggested a few cider options for me to try since they don't have any gluten reduced beers on site. I tried their tropical cider and wasn't disappointed. They also hand Florida Seltzer, which was an added bonus. Two of us got the Beyond Burger for dinner. I got mine with no bun, since it's not vegan, and one of my kids got the gluten free bun. We both got fries also, but decided to try their Louisiana fries instead of just plain for one of the orders. They were really good, but definitely have a kick!! My other kid got a Caesar Salad and bacon cheeseburger (sensing a theme here!). She said both were great. She rated this Burger at the top of her list from all 3 she's had on the trip. So that's a big win! Overall, great atmosphere, service, food and beverages. So if you haven't stopped by here yet and are in the area, you definitely should give them a shot!

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.

Visited tonight to celebrate a friend’s birthday. I’m gluten free and it can be hard to find a really good gluten free bread— their bread basket was amazing! I also got to try two different pasta dishes, the classic Tagliatelle alla Bolognese and the Carrot Infused Pappardelle with Tuscan Rabbit Ragout (the actual pasta for gluten free was exchanged for a penne). They were such different dishes, and both were very well done, with great textures and flavors— the rabbit ragout may have been my favorite of the two. Also had a great drink- the Negroni Conte— the Earl Grey infused Campari was really lovely and complimentary. Would definitely recommend!

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

Another fantastic meal at Nolia - I had the chicken gizzards, carrots, cornbread skillet and the duck and they were all outstanding. Great cocktails too. The ambiance is also great - nolia has somehow managed to create a bustling atmosphere that you can still have a conversation in, which is really important as most restaurants are too noisy, imo. Good gluten free options as well!

One of our favorite special occasion restaurants. They do a great job of handling my fiancés severe gluten/dairy/nut allergies. Service is always great. I recommend the fried green tomatoes, truffle fettuccine, vodka rigatoni, and five fries. The only dish I’ve tried that I did not enjoy/think was worth the money is the grilled artichoke. Kind of messy and wasteful. The drinks are pricy but amazing. I tried the white margarita to see why it was so expensive and it genuinely was one of the best margaritas I’ve ever had. The espresso martini is good, but I prefer their sister restaurant , losantis. I would recommend going with as many people as you can get so you can share/try more dishes. Would recommend a reservation the later you go/bigger the group you have.

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.
