Bandaloop

I’ve been here before I was gluten free and let me tell you- I’ve been to HUNDREDS of restaurants… this is a top 5 favorite of all time. Their food is unreal. So fresh, unique, and tasty. Super flavorful

I contacted them a week or two before visiting to ask about protocol and the manager had me make a reservation for early (when they open) because it would help reduce the chance of cross contamination. I was able to email her the dishes that I wanted and they accommodated accordingly. Staff was notified and I had an AMAZING meal. Talk about incredible service!!!!

The manager came over to say hi and chat with me during the meal (I’m here solo so I really appreciated it). Wait staff is so nice. And the atmosphere is GORGEOUS. Definitely make a reservation or good luck getting in!!

Can I give 10 stars? We had an absolutely wonderful meal at Bandaloop! The setting is a lovely old barn. Tables are spaced apart so you feel like you can have a private conversation. Cocktails were interesting and they didn’t skimp on the pour! Our appetizer and meals were delicious and the portions were definitely generous, a pleasant surprise! There were tons of gluten free menu options, all clearly marked! Even on the dessert menu, I think 3 of the 5 or 6 choices were gluten free! Service was perfect as well. I cannot wait to return to Bandaloop!

Can’t say enough about the Chef’s flavors! Food is uniquely paired and really tasty. Safe for celiacs though not dedicated. We enjoyed our dinner so much we returned the next night. Bar area the coziest section.

Ordered takeout and was able to write in the order notes about my allergy. They had options marked on their menu, but I wasn’t able to get a clear answer about their fryer. Had a salad with salmon, it was good and felt safe!

Celiac friendly?

Tried their new location. Food was not good!

Sat at the bar for a quick seat since it was a busy holiday weekend. The bar tender was fantastic! Our meal was amazing! So many GF choices! I had GF Shrimp tacos and my husband had GF haddock and rice! We had GF Quesidillas to start. The GF pineapple upside down cake was AMAZING!! 🍍💗 Will definitely be visiting again!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Two stars for gf labeling on the menu. I had the tofu entree, which tasted like pretty average airline food. Very disappointing overall.

I have celiac and had no issues eating here. I had the haddock and it was very good!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Wow! Who gave this place 5 stars. Everything I wanted on the menu had gluten in it. I had to hear a 5 minute speech from our waiter Jason on how the chicken was butchered locally fresh that day and I couldn't get it any fresher. So I ordered the grilled chicken. It was the most tough and rubbery chicken I have ever been served. FYI - Take your $28 dollar to another restaurant.

Simply fabulous. Really delightful food. Many options. The kitchen will adapt dishes for you if they can. The staff is very careful, the kitchen is careful. Ate there for several days and never got glutened. Be sure to state you have celiac disease.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The chef is very gluten/celiac savvy, and though 90% of the menu is GF already, they will carefully identify anything unsafe. Great cocktails too!
