GF Menu?: Yes
What did you order?: guacamole, a pork dish
Was the server knowledgeable about GF?: Yes
Comments: Momocho has a very nice gluten free menu, and the server was helpful and knowledgeable. She checked on a couple items about which she wasn’t sure (although she had to be reminded to bring the veggies I needed to substitute for chips with my guacamole). The food was excellent.

We recently ate dinner at Luxe Kitchen, 6605 Detroit Avenue (Gordon Square Arts District) on Cleveland’s west side. There is a new chef and a new menu. Happily, many items are now “naturally” gluten-free and I had delicious cheesy grits with chicken as my entree. To my delight, I was served a bowl of complimentary olives while others enjoyed the bread with our wine. I could smell that bread but had those delicious olives to pop into my mouth! Although nothing is officially identified as GF, a number of options turn out to be so. Their menu is on line at

One of my favorite spots for fresh seafood is Don’s Lighthouse in the Edgewater Park Neighborhood on the West Side of Cleveland – located where the Shoreway ends at Clifton and Lake Avenues. Their executive chefs have updated both the printed and on line menus to now indicate the items that are gluten-free. My favorites are the salads with panfried salmon or the Simply Seafood choices with fingerling potatoes and sautéed spinach. They are open Monday through Friday for lunch and seven days per week for dinner. They suggest reservations but we can always be seated without one.
Gluten free items are marked on the menu.

I’ve eaten twice at The Cheesecake Factory in the last few weeks. I had a modified chicken dish with steamed vegetables at the first visit and a veggie filled salad several days ago. Both were delicious. I was reassured by managers and servers that the kitchen was familiar with preparing food safely.
A nice touch at the last visit: the server brought me a plate with sliced banana when she brought bread for the table. What a clever server!
Have you ever been offered fruit or vegetables in lieu of bread?
