Spoke Wine Bar

I’ve walked by for years and truly regret it! When I mentioned I have celiac and a nut allergy, my server immediately - truly no hesitation - went through every menu item to list what I could/couldn’t have, and modifications. Later on she explained that every item that’s beyond like produce/fruit/fish/meat they make themselves, which is super impressive alone never mind with allergy awareness. They make their own gf crackers (no nuts!) and checked about cross-contamination. Even when different staff brought out dishes, they knew what to put in front of me vs my dining partner (who I insisted should get to enjoy things like the focaccia). Beyond gf safety, every dish was innovative and delicious - burrata over watermelon with chili oil and vermouth, a fantastic dip, two fish courses, excellent cheese etc. Wine recommendations were delightful, and when the check came so did tiny cookie sandwiches that our server confirmed were totally safe for me, which apparently rotate every few weeks. Can’t wait to go back.

Staff asked without my prompting if anyone at the table had allergies and then took precautions for the whole time. My party ordered a shared cheese plate. I was given gluten free crackers, and non-gf crackers were brought out in a separate dish. Excellent wine, delicious food, felt very safe.

The staff is very knowledgeable and all the food is carefully prepared. Everything was delicious and a day later I can say it was completely Celiac safe (and I am extremely sensitive).
