Best Gluten Free Restaurants in South Riding

Had brunch with six friends at Cooper’s Hawk today. It was my first time there, and the whole experience was lovely. Our server, Destiny, was very attentive and accommodating, and the food was great. I shared two entrees (chilaquiles and avocado toast) with another person, and both were excellent. Others around the table also enjoyed their food, including a slice of key lime pie. I did not try the pie, instead having the truffle of the month, delicious dark chocolate and peppermint. Lots of menu choices for vegetarians! As a bonus, the restaurant is very close to Next Stop Theatre, where we went to a fabulous Shawshank Redemption matinee. And one last comment - Destiny kept my iced tea glass full at all times, without my having to ask, which is one of the most important things to me at a restaurant, whether it’s iced tea or water - a personal quirk, I guess…

Despite the Tday crowd, the wait was short and the food was great. We had the Thanksgiving menu and it was both delicious and filling. Enough for takeaway I’m eagerly anticipating. Traditional ingredients with a twist, juicy turkey, slightly sweet but traditionally flavored stuffing, cream soup. Only disappointment were the glazed carrots and green beans, either overcooked or still crunchy. By the way, the cranberry sangria was wonderful! Tart and smooth.

Everything was great EXCEPT the music was way toooo loud. We asked if it could be turned down and they did lower it a bit but said that “corporate” required them to play it that loud.

The food is always excellent, it’s fun to choose your own adventure with their wine flights and we love the vibe. One of our favorite restaurants and look forward to going again soon

We are regulars and so are a lot of other people. The food is high quality and service is excellent. We have known the family have been running it for so long, it’s like having dinner among old friends. The place was packed the night we were there last and there was live music and that is why I rated noise level a little high on this review. I recommend making reservations if going for dinner. Lunch usually isn’t as busy.
