Lots of healthy options. I tried their sausage biscuit and Cyprus side salad. The biscuit was good but the salad was stellar! So fresh and delicious. The dressing so light and flavorful. They had lots of gluten free and vegan options. Enjoyed the inside, very warm and inviting.

Went to Saffron Bistro for date night last night. The food is incredible, the restaurant is spotless, and the the staff is welcoming and attentive. I have celiac and was so pleased that the majority of the menu is gluten free. Our servers were very kind and didn’t mind double checking for me that the items I ordered were gluten free. Can’t wait to go back!

Maybe their regular waffles are good, but their gluten free waffles were just about the worst thing we've eaten in a long time. Dense, heavy, and flavorless. The toppings were fine, which saved the meal somewhat. Syrup was just that gummy pancake syrup that's mainly high fructose corn syrup. Lukewarm coffee rounded out the meal, and the folks behind the counter seemed like they'd prefer to be elsewhere. Me too, my man, me too...

We found this place on Happy Cow while looking for a place to grab some morning coffee/matcha and breakfast. It was right down the street from the Oriental Garden we were coming from, so it seemed like a good choice. So happy that we got to experience this place. Great food, coffee, matcha and service! They have a lot of vegan and gluten free options, which we were excited about. We both opted for the oatmeal and added flax, dried cherries and peanut butter. It's made with their housemade plant milk and was delicious! Loved the atmosphere and the artwork also. Overall, this was a great find and a fantastic way to end our quick Norfolk excursion.

Solo diner. Monday morning, and I was seated immediately. I like the look of blended old and new decor. I'm a gluten-free diner, so I ordered the steak burrito without a tortilla. It came out in a bowl, and even though the hash browns were on the bottom, they were still crispy! There was a good amount of steak on it, too! I brought my own coffee from my hotel, and they never said anything about it (win-win). There is a surcharge for using a credit card. Rashida is a delight! 😊

First, there was Elle (“Ellie”), our superb, professional, well-informed server. A veteran of restaurant work, and thoroughly precise in her entire presentation. Then, there was the food. Outstanding in preparation, quality of ingredients, and flavor combinations. The iceberg salad boasted a stunning array of flavors and garnishes and an emulsified, balsamic vinaigrette. My oysters Rockefeller were forgettable yet tasty, just not the classic I had expected. My wife had the crispy whole (boneless!) trout, and I had a fabulous roasted whole (boneless!) branzino. Both fishes were garnished with some splashes of frissee lettuce, with a sweet, subtle lemon vinaigrette. I didn’t care for the succotash because it included soy beans instead of lima beans. A disappointing, inappropriate blend of corn, carrots, and edamame. Lima beans makes succotash authentic, and this was a strange departure. The passionfruit white chocolate mousse chocolate bomb was a great dessert, well worth trying because it was gluten-free and so satisfying. This was a fabulous experience at Saltine.

As someone with a food allergy (Celiac), going out to eat is somewhat scary. Andrew took awesome care of me, checking with the TWO chefs about eggs. He came back with the great news that the Bacon was gluten free too!! Easy and delicious and safe. I went for more coffee and was amazed how clean the kitchen was. I would come back anytime I’m back in Norfolk. Thanks again Andrew!
