Great baked goods! Their scones are AMAZING!

Michelle Crow

We were so pleased to see an entirely gluten free menu. Not only was the food tasty but the staff were amazing. Sophia and Delilah were so I sweet and kind and highly attentive. The ambiance was so charming and cozy. It felt like a small town cafe where you are always welcome and you are always greeted with a smile. We will return soon.

I can't have gluten or dairy anymore and it was a big change, haven't eaten much because I'm picky and have lost so much weight. I decided to try this place and it was phenomenal! I didn't even know this kind of food could taste this good!! I was actually able to feel satisfied after eating which doesn't happen anymore. I cried, I literally cried in the middle of eating! Thanks for the delicious food and for caring about people who have to deal with this!!

Recently started my gluten free journey and so glad they have they have a full gluten free menu. Kaitlyn our server was attentive and so nice.

Julia Green

Wow the food tasted as good as it looked! Everything is vegan and gluten free but it doesn't taste like it is! We ordered the cheese plate which had so much variety and different flavors! Everything was so fresh, beautifully presented, and filling! We left with full stomachs. My favorite was the chocolate chip cookies. It was gooey but didn't leave me feeling icky like most sweets!

Andrea L

Excellent burgers! Great option for celiacs, staff is very knowledgeable. Gluten eating dad says if all GF was that good he would never eat gluten again 🤣

Jen

Went out with my team for a business dinner and had amazing experience! Hats off to our server Dominic, he's was beyond professional while being knowledgeable about allergy restrictions. He was well informed about cross contamination and offered my colleague different gluten free options. So refreshing! Next time I am in Columbus, I will be booking a reservation 🩷

Sheila Gross

Wonderful food with excellent service at the bar and at our table. Aware of gluten issues. All food was marked when it came to the table. 💗

Ash Holbert

They are amazing with allergies. They have great gluten free pizza and a tone of options. The gluten free cookie and Sunday is amazing!

Erika

If you are looking for a good brunch spot I give this place 2 thumbs up! I had a Bloody Mary which was served with a skewer of meat cheese & an olive. The drink itself wasn't too spicy but could of had a bit more vodka in it! I ordered the breakfast BLT which was delish. I was able to get vegan cheese on it since it was available upon request. They so have a decent about of dietary options including vegan, vegetarian & gluten free. Make sure to let the waiter/waitress know. Our group all ordered something different which was nice to see it was all enjoyed.

Heather Barker

My daughter with celiac eats here every time we are in Columbus. Best breakfast options.

Veronica XXX

Love the gluten-free pizza.

Tini Mueller

One of the best gluten free places I have ever been. The wait staff is so knowledgeable when it comes to gluten free, the menu is so inclusive. I love it here so much! OH and the GLUTEN FREE chicken tenders… so good!!

Carrie Loukas

That was yum, thanks! I expected beets on the Greek salad for some reason. But you had so much feta, and the peperocini were HUGE so I feel you were trying to make up for it. The gluten free pizzas were great. But the Cuban wasn't available at our location. It's what I really wanted to try.

Cory Chapman

A wonderful restaurant with amazing gluten free options. My wife enjoyed her first chicken Parmesan in years here. Very inviting and lovely atmosphere. The lasagna was delicious and the service was prompt. If you don’t want to sit at the bar, make sure to call ahead.

Matthew Anthony

Where to start… The gluten free bread for the table was phenomenal. Our entire table was gluten free and tasted spot on. The chicken parm was huge and flavorful. The pasta alla carbonara was also great and had a perfect amount of sauce and was perfect with the chicken. Our waitress, Vanessa, was so nice and accommodating to our needs(lil bro had a crush). She even gave us a special off-the-menu desert after hearing about or gluten free travels. Will 100% come back again every time we’re near. The whole experience was SPOT ON!!!

John Edwards

Had adequate parking. The dining area is large and can accommodate large parties. The manager was helpful and explained where everything was. There is a salad bar with a variety of healthy items. You will pay between $10-$15 for a sandwich. All foods served are free from dyes, artificial trans fats and flavours, processed MSG's, and high fructose corn syrup, according to the menu. I had the Ruben, and it was the best sandwich I've had in a long time. I also had a salad, which was great. I highly recommend Jason's Deli if you're in the area. They do have gluten sensitive and vegetarian options. Jason's Deli is a chain resteraunt, which we didn't know until we did some research, with restaurants in 28 states. This is a family owned chain and is in the top 500 for resteraunt chains.

Toni Sacco

Homegrown hangout boasting craft beer and unique (and dare I say, gourmet) hotdog combos—personal favorite is the “Classy Lady”. Always delicious with excellent, speedy service. Delighted to see gluten free buns on the menu!

My husband and I went to The Refectory last night and had a wonderful experience. Our server Lisa was very personable and did such a wonderful job educating us about the dishes offered and drink selections. The Refectory operates differently than most Ohio/US restaurants. It's recommended to order all courses ahead of time as they are small batch. We ordered 4 courses and even though the plates are smaller than "normal" we were pleasantly stuffed at the end of our meal. To note, courses do come out at a slower, more European pace. Our entire dinner took 2.5 hours. I highly enjoyed the slow pace, it gave us more of a chance to slowly savor our dishes and really connect. The escargot is more in a loaf type form and comes with a garlicky sauce that is just amazing. Not pictured is the soup I had which was the vegetarian, which was deliciously simple but definitely warming. My husband had the shrimp that had a lovely bright vinaigrette followed by the arugula salad. The arugula paired with the pancetta (I think) was delicious as the fat cut the sharpness of the arugula. For my main course I had the sturgeon which I highly recommend. It was meltingly soft and the potatoes/vegetables provided a contrasting crunch. My husband had the duck which he highly enjoyed, the cherry sauce had a tartness he enjoyed but I did not particularly care for. Dessert we both chose the creme brulee. The grand marnier was a nice change from a standard vanilla, it was beautifully silky and paired so well with probably the BEST latte I have ever had. There were a few items I'm going to grumble about but really are minor and not worth detracting any stars: I have celiac and the gluten free bread basket at $5 extra was rather disappointing. It looked like regular sliced sandwich bread that was cut in diagonals. I'll skip the bread next time as Cameron Mitchell restaurants, Cooper's Hawk and others have better to offer. The other grumbly item is the lack of dessert options for someone with celiac. I could choose between the creme brulee or I believe a sorbet. Dessert is my absolute favorite course so this was disappointing. It's the reason we'll come back maybe once or twice a year, but probably not more.

Their gluten free pizza is amazing!

Ella Glasgow

Such a great time today. Rose was our server. She was so kind and welcoming to us. She made our 9 year old feel included in the experience…which he loved. The gluten free burger was yummy (so glad they have the option). And since Rose was knowledgeable, she was able to steer me clear of all of the fries as they sadly are not gluten free. Our son really enjoyed his sliders. And my husband loved his Cali chicken sandwich. We’ll definitely visit this Easton location again soon!

kelley koch

We loved our breakfast on Father’s Day. Hayden gave great service. I was pleased to find both a vegetarian and gluten free menu. Gluten free pancakes were amazing!

Brian Michaels

Not many gluten free options and brisket was all fat and no meat.

Rebecca Smith

This is the best Italian food I’ve had in a long time. Easily the best Italian food I’ve had in Ohio. I cannot recommend enough. Personally, I eat gluten and dairy free. There were able to accommodate for me and our server, Shelby, was wonderful. The bruschetta was so yummy. They even brought me out gluten free bread and oil when we sat down. I got the gluten free pasta with marinara and grilled chicken and WOW it was AMAZING, the sauce was incredible. AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE BUTTERSCOTCH CRÈME BRÛLÉE (it’s not dairy free but the whole table LOVED IT). I cannot wait to come back!!!

Kelley Lauginiger

Monica was so kind and made sure my order worked w my allergies. Sometimes w celiac it can be a challenge, but she made it easy and fun! It was delicious, too. Thanks, Monica🥪

Bethany George

Ive had their burgers before, which are very yummy. But a friend said “lets do breakfast here”. I was like “they have breakfast?!” They sure do!! I had the mushroom frittata, which was exquisite! And the fresh squeezed OJ was the perfect touch. My friend had the breakfast hash, as shes gluten free and dairy free. And she loved every bite. The outside patio was perfect in the morning. Highly recommend.

Josephine Lung

Went here for homecoming dinner junior year and many other times and every time it is great!! Their gluten free food is amazing albeit a little expensive. The service is great and I always leave happy! I am gluten free and normally get a steak and mashed potatoes and some sort of vegetable! I also get a gluten free pizzookie ( pizza cookie ) for dessert!! A friend of mine once spilled his drink all over our table and not only did our waitress stop to help us but so did the front of house helped us!! We really appreciated it and our food came out very quickly as well!

Kim Burgess

Place was absolutely slammed with post church crowds when we went, but thanks to excellent management and really hard working employees everything from ordering to receiving food was extremely quick and easy. The manager took our order, and was super gracious about a gluten free dietary need in our party. He was very proud to let us know they were one of the only fast food chains to offer a gluten free burger, with a safely packaged gluten free bun and a burger prepared on a clean grill. He also bragged about how great his staff (mostly teenagers) are, which to me is just another sign of a well run establishment. Would absolutely recommend this Culver's to anyone.

Lior Seidel

GF & FD options, they have a dedicated gluten-free fryer!

Mackenzie Wills

If I could rate them 10 stars I would! Absolutely incredible culinary experience. Everything from the hospitality of every single person we interacted with, the drinks and the food were above and beyond my expectations! Being celiac they were so accommodating and I didn’t get left out on having anything, which is not always the norm. We were celebrating my birthday and everyone was so kind wishing me a happy one. We left feeling so impressed and perfectly full. Go there now for an amazing experience. Thank you!

Our server was spectacular. They have gluten free options.

Harley Smith

An absolute must try. Do not pass on the bison, it’s so amazing. I had the bison burger, and my husband the bison steak and it was some of the best food we have had. The food was just the absolute best. The waitress we had was so friendly. They make a great drinks. Our entire friends group was impressed. They have great gluten free options. The parking was a bit difficult, but that’s to be expected with any downtown restaurant.

Joseph Coppus

Great food and a great cause. We got the “Don’t Judge Me”, “Sweet Potato Bowl”, and the “Hazelnut Lavender Matcha”, which were all fantastic! They had great gluten free options, as well.

Brandy H

Great place, great people, great subs! Visited twice in a week. But the best thing....they offer gluten free subs! Makes people with celiac disease happy with expanded restaurant options since more than 85% do not offer any gluten free food. Thank you!

Liz Love

So tasty and careful for gluten-free customers!

Liz Love

Great gluten free burgers and shakes!

Paul Foust

pamela hudson

We ordered New Orleans Iced Coffee and an Egg Sandwich with Bacon and gluten free bread and to go box of cinnamon break, banana bread and scones. The coffee is really good, I don't know what they put on it but it has a hint of a different flavor and its pretty bold and strong. The egg sandwich is great! No wonder people line up early in the morning, we were there around 1030ish and the lines weren't letting up all the way till noon (maybe even after?). The eggs are fluffy and it has a pretty unique taste that's probably a signature of their sandwich when you've tried it. Our sandwich was late for some reason but they refunded it (basically it's free!) So all in all 5/5! Must try before taking a stroll at the nearby park!
