They have a GF menu and a 6 step safety process in the kitchen. Food was good. Server did bring a lemon cookie for the table to share, he didn’t say if it was GF or not (I didn’t eat it) but the rest of my table said it was amazing. You will need to advocate for yourself while here and ask questions.

One of the most delightful dining experiences i’ve had in Chicago as someone with celiac. Our waiter was extremely kind and helpful and asked right off the bat about food allergies. I informed him of my gluten allergy and he double checked everything we ordered to make sure it was super safe for me to eat. He brought out gluten free cake for my friends birthday but forgot to mention it was gluten free, so when he realized I hadn’t ate any he brought out a takeout bag with some gluten free treats for me to take home. Genuinely an incredible and relaxing meal.

I ordered off the gluten free menu an egg white omelette. It came with GF toast. My husband ordered the same but regular. When ours came out we had the same bread. It took forever to get the attention of the waitress and he finally had to get up and find her. She stated that mine was not GF and would bring me another plate. It came out in just a few minutes (way too fast IMO). She assured us it was a new omelet. The food was nothing to write home about (coffee was very good). When we were done with our food another waiter brought over a fresh GF plate and said it was made for our table. It’s obvious they just put my original on a new plate and added GF bread. Hoping I don’t feel it later but pretty upset about the the potential treatment of any allergies, etc.

I love Beatrix! Dinner was so good that we came back for breakfast. I ordered the grilled ahi tuna for dinner and had a GF brownie for dessert. I let the server know I have a gluten allergy both times. I’m very sensitive but felt fine afterwards. For breakfast, I had black coffee and a coffee cake and felt fine. I stopped back in for another brownie the next day! Some have said the case contains both gluten and gluten-free desserts. This is true, but they’re all on separate plates and labeled, and not touching eat other. Our server said the staff changes their gloves when you let them know it’s an allergy and they use individual paper sheets to pick up the desserts. My recommendation is to just be clear it’s a “gluten allergy” (I know celiac is not technically but to provide guidance for the staff) and order from their gluten free menu.

Not careful at all. Had to remind them I had the gluten free menu and they said they’d notify the staff but after a few bites I could tell it wasn’t a gluten free bun. Disappointing experience.

I had the bacon, cheddar and egg sandwich which came out on the driest GF bun that just fell apart/crumbled when I tried to eat it. The egg was in a square shape and could have bounced if thrown on the floor.

The menu had so many gluten free choices, but I won’t be back again to try them. My boyfriend had the normal French toast and said that was subpar as well.

Had such a great experience here! Almost everything on the menu can be made GF. The staff was knowledgeable about cc protocols and assured me it was safe. I had the egg sandwich with gf bread which was great and a side of home fries! The juices are also AMAZING!

Staff was very knowledgeable and the menu had a good range of options! I got the prime burger and the bun was actually quite good, it did not get soggy or fall apart at all. However, the burger itself was quite bland, it had no sauce at all, and was not particularly unique in any way. The fries were delicious, and the waiter said everything fried at the entire restaurant is gluten free so they were wonderful! Definitely take a stop if you’re in the area, but maybe don’t get the burger, or ask for ketchup

I placed an online order for the chicken bebe, the Caesar salad, and the chocolate cake through their website and specified that I have Celiac. When the food arrived a receipt was attached that said in all caps and red lettering, “CELIAC CHANGE GLOVES.” Because of this I felt confident that my food was safe. Unfortunately I got severely glutened but that was because I ordered the chocolate cake. It used to be gluten free, but no longer is and I didn’t notice that it was no longer labeled as gluten free on the menu until it was too late.

I used this restaurant for breakfast/brunch several times since I was staying in the hotel in the same building. It is a great restaurant. They have a dedicated GF portion of the online menu. Unfortunately you still need to stipulate a GF preference and then there are removals and alternatives. But this does undermine the menu structure a little. When you do advise of GF, the staff I encountered were very attentive to the request. I was asked to qualify my level of GF intolerance/preference which was nice.

I have an allium allergy as well as gluten free so I called ahead and they recommended the miso glazed salmon with veggies. They removed the teriyaki sauce from the vegetables. The server was super knowledgeable and double checked everything with the kitchen. One of my table mates ordered the same thing without the allergy, and mine came out special. They also had an amazing gluten free chocolate cake. It was rich and heavenly. The blueberry grape juice was also super!

The contactless menu formatting isn’t great. I always check out menus before going and all the font is basically the same I thought I had more options than I did. I went during lunchtime on a Saturday and lunch was not served just brunch. As someone with a beef allergy essentially my only choices were eggs. The waitress wasn’t aware what all was GF and let me know fries were not gf until I pointed them out on the menu. When I received the fries they were good, but tasted like they used the same fryer as other things. Couple hours later I’m feeling bleh… my thought it maybe you need to be more aggressive than I was to not be glutened. I wasn’t even aware of the pastry options because of their poor menu formatting.

They carry 5-6 different “Defloured” gluten free sweet bakery items, which is amazing. I’ve never had issues with their salad bar, and they are clear with labeling major allergens. However, I’ve never tried anything labeled gluten free in terms of the buffet style hot lunches, so not sure about cross contamination in the kitchen/utensils.

Knowledgeable staff but also a dedicated GF menu that is to die for - very extensive too, not just 2-3 items. Super delicious. They do have GF dessert items and bakery, but just beware of bakery items as they’re in the same case with non-GF baked goods.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing gluten free pita and hummus, steak was also amazing

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff was knowledgeable about gluten-free foods. There’s a GF menu and everything is prepared separately to avoid cross contamination. Also, I had the skirt steak and fries, which was DELICIOUS. The only thing is that they served drinks with a hay straw. I asked if the straw had gluten. She wasn’t sure and brought out the box, and the straws are certified GF but are made with wheat starch. So possibly okay if celiac, but not okay if you have a wheat allergy. I looked at the straw manufacturer’s website, and they contain 8ppm gluten, so little enough to be certified GF but can still cause a reaction in some with celiac. I decided to be on the safe side and not use a straw because I’m extremely sensitive to gluten. Of course, the restaurant was nice about it and gave me a new drink that hadn’t had a straw in it.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Knowledgeable staff and they have an allergy protocol. Got the bebe chicken and it was amazing. Didn’t get sick.

Celiac friendly?

They take proper protocol for many items but baked goods in a case with gluten baked goods is a bad idea and puts celiac customers at risk.

Great brunch. Been here twice and been ok both times. Lots of options and good bread for toast (they buy OMG brand).

Celiac friendly?

My favorite brunch place and it has loads of gluten free options. I have had it several times and never gotten sick. The waiters even ask if you have an allergy or preference to make sure they are careful!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Fries were great, hard time trusting anything else based on lack of CC knowledge from my server. Bakery case had GF items right next to regular items. Tomato soup ordered from GF menu came out with croutons, and first bite from roasted beets made me not trust it or eat the rest.

Update: definitely had a gluten reaction the next day... either from beets or tomato soup. I tested fries with Nima since they came late and I was untrusting by that point... fries were good via Nima & I was told only thing in fryer.

Separate gluten free menu. Staff very knowledgeable about gluten allergy. Food is very good. I take the white omelette for brunch and really enjoy it!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff was so kind and considerate of my needs. Separate, safe fryer for French fries. Separate toaster for gluten free bread. And the cocktails and ambience were both so great!

Celiac friendly?

Came to Beatrix 3x during a business trip because my hotel was across the street What a celiac find!! I am extremely sensitive to gluten cross contamination. A great place even for non celiacs. It has a great cool vibe with a restaurant, a full bar and coffee bar with 90s and 2000s music. They have a dedicated gluten free menu and knowledgeable staff, dedicated gluten free fryer and toaster, and an ingredient list available if you have other allergies like I do. They managed my wheat, shellfish and onion and garlic allergy great. The manager, Kevin, came out to answer any questions we had. And my ultimate test...no vomiting after 3 hours (which is how I know a place is gluten safe or not :). I had salmon with braised carrots and mashed potatoes one time. Shared gluten free chocolate cake which tasted great. Another time I had steak, eggs and hash browns. Try this place for brunch, lunch, dinner and dessert.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had a wonderful breakfast of steak and eggs. Had 3 gf and 4 other diners. Our server Neil, was wonderful. As we were leaving he arrived with a gift bag with coffee cake, bunt cake, and a cookie.

Fantastic food and Celiac friendly. Eduardo (our waiter) was friendly and knowledgeable and made a point of asking about Celiac and mentioning it to the kitchen. And dessert...the GF chocolate cake was fantastic!
