First of all this is no longer called Valentines & there is a different name on street signage. It was hard for me to find & so when I arrived literally 3 minutes after they closed they acted like they were doing me a favor. I said all signage is different and there was no acknowledgement of the confusion. They knew I was flying in & had sent email and text confirmations - at any point that name change could have been clarified so I didn’t circle block 2x and end up walking around and asking at the TMobile on the corner. I could have excused all that if the cake was good. I eat GF all over the world due to a daughter with celiacs. This was one of the worst I’ve had. The outside of cake was beautiful & they wrote on it what I requested. Strawberry filling was also really good. Frosting was good too. But the cake itself was dry, odd tasting, odd colored for a vanilla cake. I hate to review a local business poorly but I wish I had gone elsewhere for my dad’s 90th bday cake. And maybe this review can save someone else the $ and experience

It is rare to find a place that is as beautiful to the eye, delicious to the taste, and pleasing to the emotions as Sushi Roku. They went above and beyond to make sure all allergen issues were taken care of, and made me feel at home with my gluten free necessity. They have gluten free soy sauce, have made most sauces gluten free to accommodate people like me (warning eel sauce and freshwater eel even without the sauce is not gluten free), and most of the dishes are gluten free as well. The service was amazing. Gary was our main server, and the manager was absolutely incredible. The server assistants were ON IT and the table's water was never below a quarter. They even managed to grab our leftover truffle oil while my boyfriend, who was counting money for the bill, was supposed to be guarding it to ask for a togo ramikin 😂. My hot green tea was fresh and refilled quickly. The toro tuna belly was well worth the price, it melted in your mouth. And the sushi combos were amazing. Everyone enjoyed the drinks as well.

Wow! Wow! Wow! What an incredible experience. Michelin-trained chef, Dean Yasharian and his team, including Austin really outdid themselves. From the attentive service, the amazing food, to the perfect wine pairings, I am so impressed by our experience. I couldn't believe they were able to accommodate my dietary restorations: gluten free and dairy free! All without skimping on flavor. I had an incredible dairy-free lobster bisque for the first time in years! “A Taste of Perle” menu was amazing!!!!

Was so excited to discover their brunch menu! I have a gluten allergy and called to find out if they had options. They had sooo many gluten-free options! Many items were GF that were unexpected. Like the friend shrimp (cornstarch)!! My friend and I ordered so much food as it was such a treat to have things that aren’t always GF. Everything was delicious and so were the cocktails. Servers were amazing and knowledgeable about gluten allergies! Thank you!!

I'm excited to say, I've found a new gourmet dessert spot. The perfect size desserts without having to buy an entire pie. They have gluten-free options that sell quickly. Because they're individual pies you can select a variety like we did. We got the last banana cream, cookie butter, coconut cream, pineapple upside down, chocolate chip chess including a holiday berry hand pie (looks like a fruit turnover). Can't wait to share with family & friends!

A neat little coffee shop. Some may consider it a bit 'hipster' for their focus on the current health fads (gluten free, soy, vegan options). The place was full at 10am,almost overcrowded. There is however, a generous amount of seating for the size of the joint. All drink and food prices were a bit steep, but quality matched the price. My only complaint is that the floor was rather dirty for a coffee joint... They did have simple concrete flooring so it wasn't a big deal, it just seemed odd that there was so much debris for the style of the joint and food/drink options.

A great spot for quick delicious food. Was in town for a conference at the convention center and this was an easy walk and super fast. The menu isn’t 100% clear on their gluten-free options but turns out most of the noodle bowls can be done with GF rice noodles. They were so good and fresh. The server was very knowledgeable about GF options and very accommodating of my allergy. My friend enjoyed her gluten noodles too!

They have gluten free, dairy free options. Food was great.

Very allergy friendly & communicative - the fish tacos and various burgers can be made gluten free. And this is a good place for the covid cautious - spacious interior with decent airflow and a heated patio with good atmosphere. If I had one point of critique it's that I would love to see more menu labels alerting customers to the existence of the gluten free options, as we had to enter on faith. Thankfully, our faith was rewarded with delicious food! Tacos were generously portioned and the sauce was on point.

Delicious! Love this place. Also FYI, most of their proteins and all of their sauces are gluten free :)

The service was excellent! The ladies were so accommodating. The food was outstanding! Their pink sauce was so delicious! And gluten free pasta is an option.
