This place is amazing! My server Paulina was super nice and helpful! The drinks were great and the food was amazing. So cheap for food of such amazing quality, I will definitely be back! Also I noticed they had quite a few gluten free menu items!

The Detroit pizza with old and new world pepp was unbelievable! Zesty sauce but nothing that led to heartburn or bothered the kids. This is the best pizza i have ever had thats more deep dish in last 12 yrs since celiac! Super fun vibey place! And incredibly reasonable. Get 4 slices for gf and i coupd only eat 2 fyi. The family salad with homemade ranch is the BEST!!

First time going, and I did not make a reservation. We were able to snag two seats at the bar after about 30 minutes. Definitely recommend making a reservation, if you can. The service was great! The server was very friendly. The gluten-free pancakes were awesome! I got the half size, which was definitely enough food.

Jazmine Reid

Shelby was great!!!!! They have gluten free and vegan options.

Mitchell J

Gluten free options, always get a plug!

Dana Donoho

This experience was awesome! We made it to the restaurant just before the kitchen closed. We were on a deadline ourselves because our daughter has Type 1 diabetes and a gluten allergy, which makes dining out very complicated. Our server, Brandon, was on top of it. He was able to get out food order in before the cutoff time, with crazy dietary restrictions to contend with. Did I mention that it was also my daughter's birthday? He made sure my daughter got her birthday (gluten free) desert, and he even sang happy birthday to her. It was the perfect ending to such a special day for a special little girl! Added bonuses... live music, a birthday dance, GREAT food, and the most beautiful views of the Detroit River and Windsor, Ontario!

The food was absolutely excellent. The service was absolutely excellent. The view was absolutely excellent. The only reason I’m not giving it five stars in every single category is that I did mention I have a gluten allergy, and there was one small gluten item that was missed in the dessert that I ordered. Otherwise, the staff was very proactive and swapped out gluten-free options without my direction throughout the meal. And once again, all the food was wonderful.

My wife and I have been here several times and it never disappoints! The Chopped Salad and Roasted Chicken are amazing and having gluten free options is a must for us! Ynocencio served us drinks this last time. His drinks, presentation, and humor were all on point! We can’t wait to go back!

Todays Present

The burger was delicious! I loved all of the options especially the avocado and egg. The sweet potato fries were better than the regular fries in my opinion. The service was great too - the waitress gave excellent recommendations. I would totally return again and recommend. They had wonderful gluten free items and my friend loved the coleslaw.

(At least for lunches,) dress code is not strictly enforced so you can sit at the bar or "off to the side" if you dressed casually The menu shows which items are gluten free

Great breakfast food at decent prices. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was delicious and portions we're just right. Lots of healthy options like gluten free, nut free, vegan, and vegetarian. Small seating area so it might be a little wait if it's busy.

Alana Hoffert

i have celiacs and they had some gluten free options and the waitress seemed knowledgeable. they don’t have a dedicated fryer but they have bread and pasta that’s gluten free. I got the mac and cheese and it was delicious!

Kyla

We had an amazing dinner. The food is consistently high quality. The service can be a bit slow sometimes but the servers are knowledgeable, friendly and always very accommodating with dietary restrictions. Our server this time was incredible and made really great food and drink recommendations. My partner has celiac’s and we’ve never had any issues, they’re always very careful to talk to the kitchen. Highly recommend the sea bass and lamb shank. Beautiful decor and ambiance.

I went to Parc with my sister for her birthday and the filet was delicious. Nadiyah was the best server 🙌 She knew the menu like the back of her hand and helped accommodate for my gluten allergy—so, so helpful!

Andrea Flores-Velasco

The restaurant has a great vibe, with a beautiful outdoor patio. The service was also top-notch, and the staff was very accommodating, especially when it came to my gluten-free needs. While the restaurant doesn't have a dedicated gluten-free menu, the chef was able to make some adjustments to some of the dishes to make them gluten-free. I had a burger without the bun and the kale salad, and both were delicious. However, I would have liked to see more solid gluten-free options on the menu, especially given that the restaurant boasts many healthy fares. Overall, I had a great experience at Eatóri, and I would definitely recommend it to others. As someone that has celiac disease, however, I would encourage the restaurant to add more gluten-free options to their menu in the future!

Very safe for celiacs needing to eat gluten free. Great food we will be back. A mix of Cuban/Latin American. If you go before a 7pm Redwings game, go at 5pm to get a seat. We loved the chicken and beef Fritas. GF eater had chicken verde bowl. Next time, we’ll order the mayo on the side for the sandwiches, they add a lot and it gets messy. Also, we loved the plantains, but not the loaded ones, because the beans are really spicy. Large groups consider getting the bucket of beers or the fishbowl cocktails because it packs up before games or events and it is hard to get the second drink.

Dining at Pao is truely and experience . It’s not just another restaurant, fantastic music by the DJ and live violin player( she was good) . Great atmosphere , amazing drinks and really fab food. Our waitress was very attentive and pleasant . As a vegetarian with gluten intolerance , I had a good bit of options to choose from , I wish there were more . The only downside would be that we had to give up our table in 90 mnts and we were having such a good time , I wish it wasn’t so rushed because some people in my group showed late . But it was a delightful experience regardless . I would recommend this place .

Besa is quickly becoming my favorite spot in Detroit. Our server last night went above and beyond to go over the menu, provide great service, and help my friend navigate gluten free options. He had great recommendations and helped to course out our orders. My wine-knowing friend loved the wine selection. The food is incredible—at my table of 6, we covered quite a bit of the menu, and everyone was satisfied. A few of us started with the Village Salad, at our server’s suggestion, and it was unbelievably good. How could a cucumber-based salad be that good? Just the best. I appreciated that the host sat us downstairs, as it was predominantly a work get-together, so it was easy to talk and discuss in the quiet environment. I really cannot recommend Besa enough and will be back the next chance I get. 10/10

We had a work event here and had a wonderful experience! I worked with Emily to get the event set up and she was so easy to work with! She was very responsive and told us exactly what we needed to know for the event. We rented the whole upstairs, served pizza, garlic knots and salad and unlocked all of the arcade games. They had many different options for food that we could have chosen from which was a nice touch, but we decided to go with the pizza. We also had a gluten free team member and Checkers helped us to make sure that person had pizza they were able to eat. Ashley and Latrell were on staff helping to bring out the food and serving drinks and they could not have been nicer! They made sure the event went smoothly and were there if we needed anything (we didnt). Thank you both so much for your help! I couldn't be happier with the way this event turned out and we hope to be back soon!

Okay, Food 10/10. I'm so impressed. Everything was a hit. Not one single complaint about the food. The mediterranean salad was so fresh and crisp. All pastas were delicious, specifically the baked lasagna. Frito (calamari) is gluten free which was a huge plus. SO flavorful and well prepared. Service was excellent from start to finish. Our servers were attentive and took very good care of us. They had great recommendations and made sure we had clean silverware and plates in between every dish which I personally loved. Restaurant overall is a vibe, great music and a lovely spot to go out. Definitely a GREAT addition to Detroit. Good job Adelina

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner, and our server Billy the Kid was just perfect! He helped us getting a gluten free option for my wife and some additional cranberry jam for the turkey that was STRONGLY appreciated :) a really joyful experience and an show of professionalism - we will for sure be back!

Hailey

Fun experience! Definitely make a reservation. The rolls served at the beginning are gluten free!!

Randy Allen

Great little taco place. Not must seating, so don't expect a full blown restaurant experience. This is definitely more of a take out kind of place. The loaded fries were incredible. The steak on them was seasoned perfectly, and there was some seasoning added to the cheese sauce that tasted incredible. Maybe chipotle or adobo? Not sure really. The crunchy flour shells were cooked perfectly. They were unfortunately out of corn shells, which made ordering gluten free a bit more difficult, but the fajitas without shells was perfect for her.

Freezing cold when we first sat down but warmed up a little by the time we finished eating. According to my family the gluten free pizza was pretty good. The regular pizza was ok. If you love a butter crust, then this is the place for you. Regular pizza was loaded with butter. A little is ok, way too much for my liking. And the knives don't cut worth anything.

Sam Kitchen

Oh my gosh the food here is SO good! It's fresh and yummy and the folks are super helpful with navigating allergies and such. (In case you're wondering, the falafel is gluten-free and soy-free.) I'm so glad I found this place - I will DEFINITELY be back again and again and again. :)
