I have celiac and found this restaurant on the “Find me Gluten Free” app. I was on vacation and the restaurant had good reviews. Don’t trust their gluten free menu-i got a pizza that was listed on the menu as GF. I got VERY SICK after eating there. I am certain that it was not GF. My guess is the waitress didn’t specify GF when sending the ticket to the kitchen.
The food was delicious, but be careful.
We had a good, but not perfect, experience at Basin 141 in our first time visiting this cute part of Montrose. We were seated right away on a Saturday night a little after 6 though had to sit at high tops as all of the more comfortable booth seating was occupied.
The cocktail menu is impressive with its many creative options. I had the Weissen Sour which was a really well-mixed refreshing cocktail that was not on the dryer side (ie not sweet.) There are tons of delicious and unique cocktails to try on their menu and I definitely want to come back and try more.
We're vegetarians and were excited to see many options available on their dinner menu including 3 different vegetarian tacos. (Truffle Mushroom, Sofrito Taco, and Potato [the Sofrito is also vegan]). My wife and I actually both ordered the taco plate with the same 2 tacos - one Sofrito and one Potato. It was cool that you could mix and match your tacos so you could try more than one on the plate...as well as add more than just the 2 that came with the plate.
Both of these tacos were delicious...the Sofrito came in a handmade tortilla...it actually fell apart (the tortilla) as soon as I picked it up so I had to eat that one with a fork. It was good and had a nice spice to it....the potato taco was crispy shelled...it was yummy and among the more flavorful potato tacos I've had.
The tortilla chips it came with were house-made, so yay for that, but they were definitely over-fried...browner than they should have been on both our plates so not as fun to eat.
Also for vegetarians are a Pub Pretzel, Charred Cauliflower, Truffle Mac and Cheese, an artisan cheese plate, a bunch of sides and salads as well. So If you're vegetarian, or vegan, or gluten-free, you will not go hungry here.
We liked it here and would definitely come back for more drinks and to try the other things to eat. Would have been 5 stars if the chips weren't overcooked and my taco had not fallen apart upon first touching it. Something to strive for, Basin 141!
One of the best places to eat in Montrose, La Canada and La Crescenta. The only place in Los Angeles for quality kebob AND they have vegan, as well as gluten-free options. Owner and staff are fantastic. If there's ever an issue, talk to the owner (he's usually there) and he will make it right, but I've NEVER had a problem. Even through the pandemic, where other restaurants have upped prices and lowered the quality of food used in the struggle to stay afloat, Kebab Daddy has, thankfully, NEVER compromised on the high quality meat and ingredients used, even when times were tough. Thought I'd post a review since my boss is gonna go there now to order 3 lunches. YUM!!!
A lovely cafe with delicious ice cream and friendly staff members who patiently dispense samples even when there is a line- they want to take the time to make sure you’re getting something you’ll enjoy. They offer traditional, gluten free, and vegan options with a wide variety of flavors. I also really enjoy their chai lattes.
I've always loved their flavors but recently had to cut out gluten and dairy. I was so happy to discover this place has amazing alternatives that fit my dietary restrictions.
I cannot begin to describe how grateful my family is for this place.
Due to the 2018 fires, my mother's bridal shower had to find a new venue--with just days to go. Everywhere in the area was booked, but the Matron of Honor found The T Room and they were able to squeeze us in.
And that would have been enough.
But then they gave us extra sandwiches, jam, and cream. And my step-Aunt can't eat gluten, so we expected them to give her a platter of fruit and call it a day. Little did we know that they offered gluten-free bread, so she ended up with a plate laden with tea sandwiches just like we did. She was so excited to have so many options that she posed for the camera with her plate of food and immediately swore to come back.
And that would have been enough.
But then they stayed open an extra hour because they didn't want our party time to be cut in half.
We were so warmly welcomed that it felt like we were visiting family. They even gave us hugs goodbye and wished us luck with the rest of the wedding.
I am so utterly thankful that The T Room was able to host us.
(Incidentally, every single person at the shower made plans to come back because the ambiance and service were so exquisite.)
большое спасибо!
