This was a great experience! I have tried other gluten free pizza that I think are disgusting, but their gluten free pizza was the best I have ever had! The severs were super nice and the food was excellent! It was suggested to try the truffle fries, and we were glad we did! Definitely recommend and we’ll be back!

Amazing service and super delicious food. I have Celiac so I needed something gluten free and had a delicious GF chicken fettuccine alfredo. My family loved their meals as well. Would highly recommend!

I loved my experience here! Gluten free option are listed on the menu. Not too much sauce, so you can really enjoy the freshness. The staff could be better informed about the wine and sake list as far as flavor profiles and pairing recommendations. Shane seemed to really enjoy making the dishes, and he was quick to interact with dinners.

We had our wedding rehearsal dinner at Social and it was phenomenal. The head chef, Jeffrey Boullt, crafted a custom 5-course menu for us that fit our guests’ dietary restrictions (some vegan, some gluten free, some allergies, some small children). Every course was beautifully presented and delicious. We were blown away by his talent. Prior to the dinner, we had some preparatory phone calls with Marisa, who gathered all of our details and coordinated all aspects of the evening. She made the process easy, provided a quote to us the same day as our initial phone call, and even went so far as to print our menus with custom designs based on the “vibe” of our wedding - such a thoughtful surprise! We truly appreciated the personalized service from the entire team at Social. It was the perfect venue for our wedding-eve. We will definitely be back!

Right next to the hotel (Ramada). Large menu of Vietnamese dishes. Tasty cuisine and generous portions, a very good option. The only premises open in this center. Not too expensive. Gluten-free are well treated.

As someone who MUST be gluten free, I've been pleasantly surprised about how safe this Domino' s has been for me. They haven't ever "glutened" me.
