Located in Willoughby House, a newly renovated mansion turned Inn, Julia’s 1902 opened in 2024.

From Julia’s 1902 website:

Julia’s 1902 is a restaurant and bar located on the ground floor of Willoughby House, an inn that offers ten unique suites. Executive Chef Jose Coronado takes inspiration from the flavors of his native country, Guatemala, as well as Mediterranean, Asian, and Latin American cuisines.

Julia’s 1902 offers a sophisticated yet approachable dining experience with a variety of dietary options made from locally sourced ingredients.

I have the pleasure to dine at Julia’s a few times in the past months. Each and every time I was able to order a dish prepared specifically to be gluten free. Not only were each of the items I ordered perfectly prepared and served but the server was knowledgeable and attentive. Check out their menu, it is clearly marked for gf options. Weekly/Daily Menus with TuesdayMenu – Tapas. Weekends – Brunch.

Be sure to make a reservation. Note that this is a no-tip establishment but there is a 20% gratuity attached to your bill. Valet parking is essential as the parking lot is a bit tight.

OH MY! I cannot wait to go here and try out the food. I am super impressed by what I found while searching the menu today, which you can download via a search of the link above.

Every item on the menu is marked with a pictograph for the contained allergens. They also have a ledger with each menu item by name and the associated allergens listed alphabetically alongside.

It is a pretty incredible thing to see this level of communication. It is also seriously considerate and appreciated.

I’m going this weekend so either I’ll see you there or you’ll see me here next week to share food impressions!

Update by Diane 3/19/2024. Agave & Rye has come to Eton Square in Woodmere. There are also locations elsewhere in Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana and Alabama.

Noodles & Company is a chain that offers a variety of fresh, made-to-order dishes from their “Gluten Sensitive” menu. Dishes can be made with rice noodles or zucchini noodles or gluten-free pipette shells. Some of the gluten-friendly options include Pad Thai, Zucchini Pesto with Grilled Chicken, and Gluten-Sensitive Pipette Mac & Cheese.

They also have salads which are gluten-free or can be modified to be gluten-free.

They have an interactive nutrition and allergen page and ordering in their app presents the many available options.

The menu has the usual caveat: “Made without gluten-containing ingredients but potential for cross-contact exists.”

The friendly staff said that if an order has an allergy designation they follow a protocol.

I ordered a zucchini noodle dish, which I quite enjoyed, and the lid had an allergy note.
