I've heard many good things about Red Ash and was excited to try them last Saturday. There are in fact many gluten free options and they were very helpful explaining the menu and accommodating. The visit did not disappoint! Comments on the dishes: the sweet potatoes were yum; cauliflower came as almost two whole heads, flavor was good but not our favorite; gnocchi which was AMAZING (my favorite); the bone marrow risotto which was also delicious but definitely heavy and rich; my friends loved the halibut too; burrata with tomato was good as a starter and my friends enjoyed their bruschetta. Quantities were plentiful and we left completely stuffed, with leftovers! Comments on drinks: green thumb was delicious; I wasn't impressed by the blood orange marg unfortunately; signora in rosa was good! Parked with the Valet for $15.

Delicious Korean fusion spot, with a great gluten free selection. Staff was very knowledgeable about the menu and guiding me to both gluten free and dairy free options (the latter not too hard in Asian cuisine). The portions are large and an appetizer and main dish some could be shared amongst friends depending on how hungry you are.

Went here for brunch and it was great! Pretty patio, and a mimosa flight is only $6! They have so many gluten free and vegan options, so there is something for everyone. Cute place

Marissa Yanez

Such good pizza and love the gluten free options !

I'm gluten free and the fact that the have gluten free dumplings?!?!!! Game over. The dumplings are so light and delicate and delicious. I've gotten I think all of the gluten free ones at different times? And they are all amazing. Big fan of their spicy chili oil and their bacon fried rice too! If you're feeling spicy, get the Le Hot - their spicy cocktail. Not too spicy and perfectly balanced!

Shellie Cummings

Yndira was our server and our service was excellent. She was very knowledgeable and helpful with the menu. The burger was delicious and had a gluten free bun option which was also very good. Definitely recommend.

Aurelia O'Neil

Our server, Robert, had a wonderful sense of humor and took wonderful care of us. He was very knowledgeable about gluten free options on the menu and was very timely to our request.

Muriel Cunningham

An excellent dining experience with exceptional food and cocktails. The service was outstanding, specifically from Key who I will always be dining with in the future. The restaurant was very allergy friendly and careful with my gluten free options. Would highly recommend.

Amanda Abraham

Delicious food and drinks and great service from Chase! Gluten free buns available for burgers.

Amy Huyser

Immediately walking in the atmosphere was beautiful. The staff was kind and I was so excited to find Gluten Free bakery items. The baker herself was incredibly kind and made my day with her delicious celiac-friendly creations! Definitely worth the visit.

Brandi Newry

In town for SXSWEDU and ate lunch at Austin Taco project for 3 of the 4 days I was in town! The food was great and despite it being ridiculously busy during the conference, the service was pretty good. They also have really good gluten free options.

False advertising, beware if you have food allergies or dietary restrictions. They have a menu item called "vegan sandwich," which is advertised as a beyond patty with condiments on a potato roll. There's the option to sub gluten free bread. I am both lactose intolerant and vegan, and I know potato rolls typically have milk in them. I asked the employee about the potato rolls and if the sandwich was actually vegan, and he said yes it was. I requested to view the potato roll packaging to confirm, just to make myself feel better. He brings out the rolls and they are Martin's potato rolls, which are NOT vegan/dairy free- they have milk in them. I told the employee this and he shrugged it off. I then asked to see the gluten free bread to see if I could eat that. He brings out the packaging and it also has milk product in it. This is both false and dangerous advertising. If someone has a severe dairy allergy and ate this sandwich because it's advertised as dairy free, they would be in trouble. This is simply irresponsible and unethical of this food truck.

Marisa Rodriguez

Loved this restaurant. They were able to accommodate for my gluten allergy!

Ashley Bee

I love these burgers! I’m not vegan but I don’t eat beef or dairy so I eat vegan burgers a lot and these are some of the best ones I’ve had. I like the classic burger (with vegan cheese!!! 🥰) and all the shakes I’ve tried so far. They can do gluten free, dairy free, nut free, soy free and everything is vegan. Some of the burgers do have almonds so make sure you ask questions and let them know your allergies but they were very helpful working with mine.

Lisa

Excellent! I am gluten free and ate the Aloha Burger on a GF bun. It was the best burger I’ve had in recent memory. The mock tails are yum too! If you are GF the staff is knowledgeable about the food, especially the tall bearded server (who went to culinary school - wish I remembered his name). Best music playlist and comfortable seating. I wanted to go back the next day!

Jenne Acevedo

The food was absolutely delicious, but it was a little confusing at first. Limited menu with unusual items, several gluten free. Needed explanations for most things, which is not normal for us. (We are avid foodies.) Once we understood that they recommend sharing plates (and they explained the ingredients), we got several plates. We really enjoyed it all and had great service. I just can't give it 5 stars because it seems like they want to keep it a little challenging to be unique.

Brett Jackson

An INSTANT go to -- great price to quality ratio, amazing taste, broad menu, and extensive gluten free options. Food and service were both quick and excellent. Easiest 5 star in awhile.

S K

Really enjoyed our experience here! Booked a reservation online and were seated on time. Atmosphere was lively and the restaurant is gorgeous. Our server was extremely kind and helpful, I have a gluten allergy and the menu has GF markers (love!!) but she was also very knowledgeable on gluten free options. I had the salmon, the components of the meal seem simple but it was done perfectly and I loved every bite. We also had amazing espresso martinis as a night cap and watched the sunset through the buildings. Dinner was pricey and drinks $20 each but worth it as a fun date night. Would highly recommend!

Calvin Adams

Best place to get Coffee, Vegan, Gluten Free, Nutrition based and Delicious food in Austin and hang out.

Shari Blalock

I went to Arlo Grey while I was in Austin on a work trip. We stayed at The Line where the restaurant is located. The food, the accommodations for dietary restrictions, the drinks and staff were all top-tier. Our waiter, Brandon, was fantastic. We appreciated that we had a waiter who thoughtfully recommended items that vegans and gluten-free guests could enjoy with the group. And there's a lazy Susan in the middle of some of the tables. The precision and care that our food was laid out and spinned to the correct person 10/10 times. It was clear the chef and owners put a lot of thought into the concept but also into their team on the front side of the house. I would definitely go back the next time I'm in Austin. Cheers, Bran! You rock!

Melie Vincent

Nice, upscale lunch and dinner spot. Excellent job accommodating my gluten free diet for celiac.

Shelby Jacobs

Do not pass up a visit to this place!! We had the most delicious crepes brunch here. My (gluten free) boyfriend had the gf turkey pesto savory crepe, and I the croque madame crepe and they were both perfection!! Tons of flavor and high quality, fresh ingredients. I also had their delicious peach tea and my boyfriend enjoyed his americano. This is definitely a gem of Austin (the kind chef, original art deco lobby, outdoor seating availability and the fact they also serve cocktails was a bonus!).

Sadaf Ahmad

Really flavorful food, I stopped here while walking around downtown. I have to eat gluten free so it can be difficult to find restaurants that can accomodate with their menu and have things that are more filling than just a salad. This place has great toppings for the bowls, really enjoyed it!

Julie Schroeder

Loved the beef ribs. Hubs has brisket and loved it too. Gluten free which is really nice. Corn, beans, coleslaw, all great. Hubs had the regular mac and cheese and liked it. Will come back next time I'm in town.

Bander Albader

Service was great but my gluten free burger was average.

Lizzie Angulo

Food was great, especially for being gluten free, but the worker at the window was rude for no reason. Also, they wouldn’t let us sit in the bar area to eat because someone obviously over 21 didn’t have their ID… at 9pm.

Robin Touchton

Great food and we are gluten free.

Its Lexee Yo

LOVE this place! The workers are so wonderful and they have gluten free options! Absolutely delicious

Rebekah Ozuna

We always a fantastic time here. They have great food and even better drinks. The view is the best in town. Everybody is always so sweet. I’ve been for date night, a large birthday party with over 20 people, and to host family and every time they’re sweet and accommodating for our group. Gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan options are available, too!

Simone Willmann

Excellent & wonderfull breakfast!! My advice: The Avocado Toast (also gluten-free available) or the Verbena Breakfast: AMAZING DELICIOUS with Lobster 🤩 Could eat it day by day 🥰 But for me it was much too cold from the air-conditioning (could safe a lot of energy not to cool down that strong 🙏💡)

Aonushka Aeron

Truly blown away by the quality and flavours of the food - I am vegetarian and gluten free, and its hard to find food that’s so rich in taste, healthy, and delicious. The chef even came to the table to explain the dish and its flavours. Highly recommended!!

Avery Daigle

This place is absolutely amazing! We were served by Natalie who is hands down the best server I have ever had! (Absolutely request her) They know how to cater to your needs and all the food was amazing!!! If you have a gluten allergy they handle it amazing as well! We will be coming back!

Matthew Cohen

My partner and I came to Sapori for a date night after a close friend recommended the food and I have to admit, we were really happy with our meal and service! I have Celiac Disease and they have tons of Gluten Free options. I got the Rigatoni Alla Vodka with blackened shrimp Gluten Free, we split the burrata, and my partner got the Gnochetti (not gluten free). The portions were hearty and the dishes was super flavorful. We will definitely be adding this to our rotation of date night spots. My husband had the cannoli (not gluten free) and said it was amazing and he said the bread with dinner was excellent. If you’re looking for really good casual Italian, this place is highly recommended. If you’re looking for a really fancy atmosphere, this may not be the spot for you.
