While they do not have a GF menu, they are very careful about their food preparation.
I have eaten there numerous times.
Usually order broiled fish (several kinds), liver and onions, or smothered chicken.
Cannot order fries as they do not have a dedicated fryer.
Lots of various salads.
Baked potatoes after 4PM.
Very good food!

Went to Slice on a Tuesday at 3:00 so I would not interfere with lunch/dinner crowd.
Waitress advised they make their own GF pizza.
After ordering she advised shell was made by Udi’s.
Toppings were very good but arrived an hour later & crust was over-baked.
As there are not a lot of GF pizzas in Mentor, I will give them another chance in the near future.

Unexpectedly had the opportunity to visit the museum this Labor Day weekend and with no reservation for dinner found that their was room for a party of two at Provenance:) Inquiries to the kitchen offered many options that could be modified in the kitchen. This is not my favorite way to dine but I figured I would check it out and be appreciative of the opportunity to relax and have my meal prepared. I chose to have a soup over salad – it is so rare to have the option – going with Chilled Cucumber with Thai Chili and Creme Fraiche; super good! Pureed cucumber with just the right bite of spice and the cool creaminess of the Creme Fraiche. For my entree I had the Lamb dish with the lamb cooked to perfection, still, I was disappointed in the side dish which was supposed to be polenta but was really just corn grits – and not really good corn grits either. One of the problems with modifications is that ingredients are subbed or completely removed with nothing added to build on the flavors. Always a good question to ask – the Risotto dish looked appealing and most likely would have had the depth of flavor I was seeking. I would recommend Provenance next time you are visiting the museum but make specific inquiries on the components of the plate.

In January I moved into my new home in Cleveland Hts. and went directly out to the area grocery stores in search of available gluten-free goodness! So happy to have found Zagara’s. They have many of the products that are staples in my pantry along with some new things for me to try. I am learning the store layout and find it pretty easy to manage. The arrangement at Zagara’s is for product to be comingled on the shelves with the traditional product. The drawback of that for me is that I typically find my shopping trips are short, sweet, and swift when the majority of my products are in one place since I don’t need all the other stuff – typically I avoid interior aisles. But I love that the store is a not superstore sized so the comingling has not really been an issue. If you have a mixed household this is probably a good layout plan.

We ate lunch at Piada and we were excited to see a billboard in the restaurant announcing gluten-free options. It looks like the set up of Chipotle but very upscale and nice. We opted for the salads since they do not have gluten-free pasta or breads. Be careful in the serving line as breadcrumbs were in one area. We asked to speak with the chef, and there is always a chef on hand. We asked for our salad items to be taken from the kitchen and not the line to avoid cross contamination. Almost all of the ingredients were taken from the back. The chef seemed very knowledgeable about G.F. practices. The salad was great nicely tossed and containing a nice mixture not the regular bowl of lettuce with a few things on top. The serving line moves very quickly since it is designed for you to get your order and be able to return to work very quickly.
