Charlie’s is AMAZING! Anything on their menu can be made gluten free. The only exception is the kielbasa which can not be made gluten free.
You can have the flatbread, sandwiches, anything fried, the fried chicken. You name it they just need to know you have celiac disease.
Excellent every time I visit with small groups and large. They have even accommodated us when I had a friend with celiacs disease. Great service, awesome food, amazing venue.
Model doesn't really need my applause, considering how much it has already earned, but it is true. The aroma alone is worth the trip. The abundance of flaky, crunchy, beautiful things in rows and racks...the superb cheeses, fruit, and meats that go inside, the cheerful and prompt service... combine to make this a forever after stop on this fabled highway. My good friend tells me the gluten free selections are likewise unparalleled.
What an amazing lunch we had yesterday! And now they are open on Tuesdays. :) Tikka Masala, Momo's and Lamb and Spinach Curry...All were wonderful. (All of their currys are gluten-free, btw!)
We had an amazing night with Clif!!! Our family is a member and Claire put together to most amazing dinner and tasting for us - thank you! Kits killer cab is amazing and Claire was so personable and welcoming for our first night in Napa! She even made adjustments for me (gluten free) and another family member who is vegetarian. Their food truck/tasting room also had delicious food and a great patio!
Went there for the first time for lunch with my BFF, and I must say, everything was divine! Starting with the server, I forget his name, but a wonderful man with a slight African accent, who took amazing care of us, thank you!
We started with a veggies and hummus appetizer, then we shared the trout dish and the steak with fries, which was cooked to perfection.
For dessert we had the "ice cream" with cocoa nibs and raspberry, yumm...
Ah, I almost forgot to mention the lovely lemon and lavender drink (non-alcoholic) which besides being gorgeously presented, it's also delicious!
The only thing I wish for is that they had more Gluten-free options. Regardless, it was a great experience where we got to dine without being rushed.
Great food. The vegan cheese is really good, the gluten free pasta is actually great (unlike every other resteraunt gluten free pasta my friend had had), and the rest of the menu was delicious. My go-to napa restaurant!
Celiac Review:
Lovely atmosphere.
We have eaten there many times since my parents moved here in 07.
Over the years It’s been a go to spot and usually the first or last place we eat as it’s been a “spot “ for family things, so full of memories and the food is good. As someone who’s suffered from celiac for 21 years; The staff has always taken great care of me.
This time was very different.
The Waiter this time was knowledgeable and also aggressive. I felt he really tried to force us to order things. I’ve never said no thank you so many times for something I’m expected to pay for; It did not come across as helpful. In addition despite stating he was allergy aware. He was not. Shared fryers are not gluten free. After disputing me when I questioned it. He went to the chef. Returning to tell me I was correct. But also faith that you’re not going to hurt me also left the room at that point. I Ordered Cobb Salad and chicken. No ability to make any substitutions I asked for no corn. Told it wasn’t possible that it was made already. Salad arrived last to table with no chicken. I turned to ask the fellow who brought it. He was gone before I could as the question. I told my parents to eat, sat patiently as they did. 5 minutes after it was taken away. Then brought back.
Now we are there 10 minutes waiting on the simplest plate.
I got a wonderful unsolicited explanation of how They’d missed it on the order.
Obviously.
Food was ok, nothing like Market of the past years. I live in NYC it’s equivalent to a salad at Chop’d nowhere near as good as like sweetgreen. These are walk up chain salad places if you’re not aware.
I’m allergic to grapes as well. All the dressings had grape vinegar. So dry salad with olive oil. In Napa? Really? For a 35 dollar chicken salad you can’t find me a dressing?
My parents swordfish special looked good.
The plating was nothing special. A bed of couscous and a piece of swordfish plopped on top. They said they enjoyed it.
Started to feel sick after. Not horrendous. But definitely some cross contamination somewhere.
Everyone has a bad day. It’s harder to deal
With those when it affects your health.
I think it will be hard for me to return unless they address the allergy situation better. It would be nice to have e some clearly marked options and a willingness to make something fresh when the menu doesn’t suit someone. I’m not trying to be difficult. Just trying not to pay to get sick.
I’ve rated and reviewed my recent visit on gluten free sites as well. Lots of other choices in town. YMMV. But since it’s such a departure from my previous experience. I feel compelled to review for safety of others.
Superior experience in this restaurant. Highly recommended. The owner's wife is awesome 👌. I am on a very strict Gluten-free diet and I was able to enjoy a very good dish of Rice, black beans, chicken, and a piece of avocado 🥑. I didn't get sick. And I tested all of my dish food with a Gluten test device. So I am very happy because the lady knew and told me there was no Gluten in the food and I validate it.
Recommended!!!
Handled gluten free requested meal without difficulty. Good food and wine. Corking fee waived on our Napa cab after ordering a bubbly bottle start for the group.
What an awesome place. Nile the owner is super awesome and really friendly. I am celiac so I'm unable to drink normal beer but Mad Fritz makes an amazing gluten free beer. Will continue to buy from this great place. Oh and I forgot to even mention the awesome coffee. Nile made me a perfect espresso and even gave me a bag of beans to try since I bought a case of the GF beer.
My little boys and I love this new spot to get some homeschooling done while grabbing a delicious gluten free bite and sipping our new favorite lattes! Sooo delicious and love the spacious, laid back atmosphere.
A very charming tasting room with impeccable setting and presentation. By far our favorite winery. Andrew Bryant went above and beyond for our gluten allergy. Enhanced our Lobster roll with a delicious gluten free roll. The very best gluten free lobster roll any of us have ever had and we are from Massachusetts!! Meeting their son, Dan Stotesbery and his wife, who is in a new hands on position. Even posing with us for a picture. Very down to earth feel!! Thank you Ladera Winery for the top notch tasting.
