Honestly, our waitress was not great. We didn't make it easy for her, with a large group, but she tried to charge us for several drinks more than once, forgot to bring out a gluten-free pizza and forgot one meal completely. We were joking about it when she took the order - it would have been easier had she taken notes of our order!
GLUTEN FREE REVIEW:
Absolutely amazing experience with endless Gluten Free options available - both appetizers came with gluten free bread. All pizzas can be made on gluten free crust and pastas can be made with gluten free noodles! Bonus that there is no up charge for gluten free.
The flavors of everything were amazing and the atmosphere was great! Our favorites were the mussels and whipped ricotta. Heads up that the chopped salad was spicy!! We didn’t get to try a gluten free pasta but will be back to do so!
I have been oyster bar hopping this year and this is becoming my go to spot. I tend to try all the local (NC/VA) oysters and then get more of my favorites. But Mike, the manager recommended Rocky Rhodes after hearing my favorite oysters are meaty and briny and if that sounds like your oysters please try them. They are a new favorite.
The non-celiac member of the party wanted me to shout out the shrimp po' boy as well.
The wait staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive despite the busy Saturday atmosphere.
I can't wait to go to the oyster happy hour next!
Final note: I am very sensitive to sound and crowded restaurants are a big offender for this. I've only ever sat at the bar here, it's been close, but I've not had to use my earbuds yet. Mileage may vary, but its acoustics definitely make it quieter than a lot of other places I've been downtown on a Saturday.
Our servers were great about checking for food allergies, and they even had a gluten-free menu for people who need to avoid gluten. They had a decent selection of items, but not a large menu. The food came out in good time. It was well prepared and had good flavor. The servers kept the drinks filled and were attentive to our party of about 20.
Nice restaurant inside the downtown Marriott. For those who need to eat gluten-free, quite a few options and the server we had was very knowledgeable. Open air concept next to a rather large bar. Food is sourced directly from local farms. Foid portions and quality very good and extremely convenient if going to an event at the Spectrum Center. Our server ended up being monopolized by another patron -- lots of chatter about personal history -- to the point that there was an extreme drop off in service to our table - drinks went dry, dirty dishes not removed,a very long wait to get our check. We would go back, but hope the service is better.
Church and Union had such a fun swanky atmosphere with a great lit up bar. Unfortunately, blinding lights from cars in the windows kept blinding me but still good energy. The best part was our amazing Waiter who went above and beyond in making sure i got gluten free options. Food overall was a let down for the price and atmosphere but still very good. I heard the brunch is where it’s at.
Isabelle was so helpful! Very knowledgeable about menu and great feedback on our questions. Her drink recommendations were spot on and our food choices were good, especially with a gluten allergy! We did fish this time and can't wait to try a steak. Isabelle, we will be back. Thanks for a great time. Only reason for a 4 stars is it was loud and group next to us was having a great time and was hard to talk over them! Just an observation but glad to see everyone was enjoying themselves!
Ordered, I did, the Chilled Cauliflower Florets, Tikka Masala Paneer, and Buttered Naan. Mmm... strong with the flavor, each dish was. Crafted with the precision of a lightsaber strike, and cooked to a balance only a true culinary Force-wielder could achieve.
Attentive and kind, the staff were—like Jedi, but with menus. Felt welcomed, I did. Gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan... options aplenty for all lifeforms across the galaxy.
Ah, but the parking—yes, unexpected that was. Validated, it is! Parked at The Green Lot, I did. Saved ten credits, I did. A wise and generous feature.
Saved to my favorites, I have. Return, I shall, the next time my travels bring me to this system.
Recommend it, I do. Seek this place out, you must—if authentic Indian cuisine you crave. Hmmm.
May the flavors be with you.
Amazing! Tons of gluten free options, excellent lunch combos, and you can literally roast a s'more for dessert!! Overall fantastic, will absolutely come back. My only comment is the s'more dessert should be at least 2 smores 😂 you can't have just one (also maybe some GF graham's would be good, but I'll just bring my own next time haha)
Celiac friendly
