second time dining here. my stomach was mildly upset after the second time but i’m not sure it was gluten exposure (might have been the sangria). will likely return as the food is great and servers are very knowledgeable about gluten

The gluten free menu was outdated however the server was very knowledgeable and was able to assist. The food was delicious and the cheesecake is hands down the best gf cheese cake ever made! I did not get sick at all after.

A nice Spanish Tapas restaurant in downtown Chicago. The waiter was very helpful with GF options. Since I was not alone the gluten items were still provided (breadsticks etc) but were separated.

This is a Spanish tapas restaurant. Plenty of gluten free options (dinner, dessert, and cocktails). Staff and kitchen are very knowledgeable about gluten allergies, including cross contamination, asking clarifying questions before giving recommendations. They took very good care of us, and the food is spectacular.

Review


This was a nice evening out. They had a gluten free menu that marks gluten free, vegan, dairy free etc. Nice atmosphere. I ordered scallops with pine nuts which were FANTASTIC! Also tried the pork sausage and white beans, a little too much garlic on beans for my stomach. Also tried my friend’s chorizo and mash potatoes, it was very good. Overall, lovely place and easy gluten free options! Red Sangria was amazing as well.

We visited earlier this week and had a great experience. So many options! They gave me a separate allergen menu and everything was clearly marked. The waiter also asked if cross contamination was ok or not. I really appreciated their protectiveness. While I was the only one with the allergy, our group of 5 just ordered off of the allergen menu so that I’d be able to sample everything too. They had a separate fryer to prepare the patatas bravas in to make them gluten free too, which was awesome. Everything was delicious and I had no issues.

We visited earlier this week on the one cooler day, but we kept out outdoor seating and had the whole patio to ourselves! Our server mentioned they could accommodate my Celiac in creating a tasting menu for us, but we'd eaten too big of a lunch, so opted to create our own. We started with cocktails, which our server said were all GF. I wasn't a huge fan of the funky sangria, but my partner's old fashioned-type drink was lovely. The grenache wine we picked out for the rest of the meal was much better and paired with the goat/sheep cheeses, patatas bravas, carne asada, avocado salad, and burnt Basque cheesecake really well. I can't pick a favorite--all of the tapas were great and not a single one was just "okay". I wish we'd tried some of the seafood options but it would have been too much food for this visit. We had amazing service and I felt really safe eating the items since everything was marked with an allergy toothpick and our server was so knowledgeable. Overall a great experience, and we'll definitely be back since I didn't have any reaction afterward.
