Review of Berlu

The dinner tasting menu counterpart to the casual daytime Berlu Bakery. Everything is gluten (and dairy) free and just really incredible. It's definitely a special occasion sort of meal with a price point to match, but so worth it if you can afford the splurge. Like the bakery, the food is inspired by Vince's Vietnamese heritage, with lots of really unique and delicious interpretations of ingredients and dishes. I got the non alcoholic drink pairings with mine, and I was pleased that it wasn't just a bunch of sweet mocktails, but really interesting and balanced juices and teas (eg. a cozy shiitake pear hot tea that was unexpected and so good). My friend got the wine pairings and said they were really interesting and great too. I mentioned a few other minor dietary restrictions when I made the reservation, and they were really proactive about giving me safe dishes with great substitutions for the things I couldn't eat. Overall, a really amazing meal, a fantastic dessert course, great drink pairings whether or not you drink alcohol, and a safe experience all around. I left feeling so full and happy, and I'm so grateful we have an amazing testing menu option like this that is also celiac safe!
