Fire is a Shaker Square institution, and is very accommodating to people needing gluten free food. While there’s no specific gluten free menu, many of the regular menu items are safe, and others can be made gluten free with substitutions, which the restaurant is very willing to provide. On every visit, I’ve had knowledgeable servers who were anxious to make sure I had a good experience.  Because the kitchen is open, you can hear them shouting “gluten free” to the cooks when they place the order.

The restaurant has a warm, casual atmosphere and excellent food with an emphasis on locally supplied produce and meats.

Thanks for this review, Bette:

Felice is a trendy bistro located in Larchmere. It has a small menu, but on every visit, there have been at least a couple of gluten free options.  The food is quite good, and the atmosphere is lively. In the summer, there’s a great terrace for outdoor dining.

Two caveats: 1) The kitchen is tiny, and while I’ve never had a problem when I’ve eaten there, I do wonder how they manage to avoid cross contamination (of which they seem quite aware); and 2) the knowledge of the servers was variable. On a couple occasions, the server knew exactly what was needed, and was relentless in making sure my food was safe. On another occasion, the server seemed both clueless and not entirely committed to making sure I got a safe meal.
