Located inside the playhouse square facility this wine bar is not a location for dining out with gluten-free needs.  That being said, if you are looking for a cozy wait until your show starts they have good wines and small bites, g-f is limited to stuffed dates and shrimp cocktail (both of which are quite good), to tide you over.

If you are in San Luis Obispo, California drive very fast to Taste. 

This restaurant had small plates and the best ones are the AMAZING variations of gluten-free corn Mac and Cheese. You can have blue cheese, bacon, mushroom, broccoli, caramelized onions, provolone,  roasted red peppers, feta, spinach and a myriad of combinations of these. Oh my goodness it was the richest, creamiest mac and cheese  I have ever had in my life.   Also see my review of San Luis Obispo Donut Company.

OK GF friends book your flight now, you won’t be sorry!!!

I was visiting Texas and went to The Steeping Room for a tea party.
I don’t know about you but, when I have gone for tea since I was diagnosed I have had tea and “the salad” .

At the Steeping room I had the full tea listed on the menu, which included tea sandwiches, scones with jam and clotted cream, tea cookies, fruit, and a tea cake all gluten free and delish!!!!
The only problem I had was my non gluten free friends wanted to share things so they could taste what they hadn’t ordered.
I tried to explain that I couldn’t share because I couldn’t try any of theirs.

When in Austin have fun at tea and check with other tearooms to see if you can have more than “the salad”.

You walk into Los Agaves Restaurant and it’s a mad house where you order at  the counter but, the restaurant is really pretty and the food is amazing!!

I asked about a gluten-free menu and options and the owner immediately advised me and took care of me personally even though it was super busy. He told me he was going to make my food on a separate grill, advised me what I would like,  and then he made me a special coleslaw that was amazing.  The only places that comes close to this in Cleveland area are Momocho or El Carnicero which are very good and extremely gluten-friendly.
