They were stellar from the moment we walked in. They had my mind at ease immediately assuring me they don’t even bring gluten into the building. The food was amazing it felt like a 5 star dining experience. The whole menu being gluten free and without worries of cross contamination it was a fantastic experience with food and service. I will be returning for all of my events worth celebrating. Not to mention a full side menu of mocktails 😊

Our waiter was incredibly friendly and went out of his way to accommodate my wife's dietary restrictions due to celiac disease. He provided a gluten-free menu and ensured that the kitchen was aware of her needs. He made excellent wine recommendations and checked in on us throughout the meal to ensure we were enjoying our experience. As for the food, we were blown away by how delicious and beautifully presented each dish was. The shishito peppers were perfectly cooked and had just the right amount of salt to complement their savory flavor. The calamari was tender and flavorful. The mussels were plump and juicy, and the broth was rich and flavorful. The scallop ceviche was a standout dish, with fresh, bright flavors and delicate textures. For dessert, we couldn't resist trying the creme de catalan, which was a perfect ending to the meal. We paired it with a scoop of almond and floral ice cream, which was rich and creamy, and a glass of sherry that added a lovely depth of flavor. Despite the restaurant being a bit noisy, it didn't detract from our overall enjoyment of the meal. The restaurant's cozy and intimate atmosphere made for a memorable dining experience, and we look forward to returning. Highly recommend!

Gonna have to rate this lower until I get a response. Ordered the asiago chicken, fries, and French onion -all gluten free with listed allergies. I didnt have the soup last night and have had severe diarrhea, bloating and gas all day. Typical from eating gluten for me and last up to 1-2 weeks. I can only assume it was in fact the Asiago chicken. I rarely eat outside of my comfort spots because of this so im gonna have to recommend you steer clear if you are Celiac, GF, or have any allergies. If you cant guarantee the surface or utensils havent been contaminated, don't use them or don't make the product. I would rather have the items docked and refunded than go through this.

I've been to No Frill a few times, but not in a couple of years. I asked for a GF menu and chose the Salmon Salad (choice of blackened or smoked). THANK GOODNESS for our server! He informed me that most of their proteins are marinated in a mixture that contains soy sauce -- traditional sauce is made with wheat! Why is that not notated on the GF menu? Our server was celiac aware, thankfully! I had to choose the smoked salmon. The salad was good, but our server was the best, and I really wish I had gotten his name! Of you are celiac or GF, be aware their GF menu may not be totally GF. Be sure to ask!

It has been a while since we visited Taste. Historically have had good service but today even though we clearly stated gluten free due to allergy there was a croton in my wife salad and she got cross contaminated. I took the salad to the staff and they offered to make it again. The second salad had other items not Gluten-free. Very disappointed as they used to have dedicated station for making Gluten-free orders.

Having worked in both coffee and customer service before, I can truly say that Cafe Stella's is a gem anywhere and a staple in Norfolk. My friends and I celebrated a birthday at Stella's tonight, and happened to interact with both of the owners. It warmed my heart to see a business where the owners are so hands on in leading their staff and making a difference in the community. I learned that the cafe offers gluten free options and has a special order bakery. I can't wait to try their gluten free baked goods during my next visit—if they're anything like the espresso, I know they'll be delicious. Thank you for hosting me and my friends!

Very good vegan selection including mayonnaise with its own menu, and both the vegan shrimp and lobster are gluten free. They have tamari (gluten free soy sauce), and the wasabi is real (very spicy!) and gluten free. Other vegan options include a tofu steak and even ramen. Please note the miso soup and starter salad are NOT gluten-free. Very good service and the staff are knowledgeable about ingredients. They have a nice sushi bar with trained sushi chefs and optional traditional seating, though I wouldn't recommend it for anyone taller than 6'2". Would love to come here again.

Solo date at Press 626 Wine Bar. Hidden gem in Norfolk Downtown. Craft cocktails and amazing food. Fresh “Non-alcoholic Cucumber Mint Fresh Squeezed Spritzer”, “Australian Lamb Chops” were absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly, gluten free and the miso tahini hummus with mint chimichurri that came with it was so tasty and of course I had to try their vegan “Mezze Cheese Board”, as a cheese lover is mandatory! Press 626 was amazing, great atmosphere, outstanding costumer service, my bartender Betti was super nice and welcoming. This place is very casual for a fancy place. Definitely recommend if you pass through Norfolk, I personally loved it.

Ordered pad Thai with chicken breast (meat cost extra). Pad Thai was missing chicken, had a yellowed dehydrated lime wedge next to it, and doesn't seem traditional. Seems Americanized and very few gluten-free, dairy free options. 3.5/10, not impressed

Delicious food and great service! The guys here are awesome - so friendly and genuine. I've yet to encounter any of them in a bad mood much less providing anything other than great service! If you have celiac disease it is safe to eat here! If you ask for a lettuce bun they always ask if you have an allergy and if so they take precautions to ensure no cross contamination. You can also eat the french fries!!! Love this place!!
