Our site visitor Brittney shared the news of the opening of Battery Park Pub with us – Thank You Brittney – you are so right – this place is wonderful!

At first I was a bit skeptical, due to the pub name and all.  One visit to Battery Park Pub and I was completely enamored!  So much so that I was seriously considering never sharing the info and keeping it all to myself.

I’m not selfish though, so, here’s the scoop!!

We arrived at the pub, found a seat, and immediately were greeted by Rachel!  She was well informed about all things on the menu and took notes on my suggestions for g-f beer since they had yet to stock that at the bar.  They do have cider and the White Claw Seltzers ( these are super popular ) but  they were out of on that particular evening.

We shared the pickled veg bowl!  One of my favorite things showing up in restaurants these days are the pickled veg.  Battery Park’s bowl was extraordinary – carrots, snap peas, radishes, zucchini!!   Perfectly made and super tasty.

My dining partner had the cauliflower/potato soup and pierogis while I had the mac n cheese with pulled pork topping.  We shared everything!  We loved it all!

After a bit, we were visited by the owner, Garrett, who thanked us for the gf beer recommendations, filled us in on all the details of how they came to be, and checked on our thoughts about the food!  We let him know that we would be back soon, bring friends along, and share all about Battery Park Pub.

Today! in my email!  Garrett messaged to let me know that they are now stocking Glutenberg – Pale Ale!  I’ll be seeing them tonight!

plus see our original post from Sept 2018 with Cleveland Scene article……..

Battery Park Pub is Detroit Shoreway’s neighborhood eatery and drinkery.  Located next to the walking bridge to Edgewater Park, it’s the perfect location to grab a bite and libations before going to the beach.

Hello Bistro

Beachwood. Celiac beware.

Disappointing.

That’s Hello Bistro, a new restaurant concept from Eat’n Park that recently opened up at the Beachwood Mall complex below The Container Store.

It is a fast-casual style restaurant with a salad bar with a build-your-own salad option featuring more than 50 toppings, several proteins, and a variety of different salad dressings. Their Salad Sherpas will build it, chop it, and dress your salad to order.

The menu also lists suggested salad combinations, several of which carry a GF designation.

There are also burgers, sandwiches and soups. Gluten Free rolls are available for 75 cents.

The menu has this disclaimer:

We work fast and furious around here so we can’t guarantee there isn’t some gluten somewhere; but, if you let us know, we will make every effort to prevent cross-contamination. If you have an allergy or another dietary concern, please ask to speak with the manager.

Sounds good on paper and I was excited to give it a try.

Your order is placed with a cashier who informed me that separate mats and utensils would be used. I asked about cross contact from the gluten containing salad ingredients and she called over a manager.

The manager said the ingredients from the general line would be used and no separate ingredients were available.  He said cross contact was likely.  And if I had a severe reaction, I shouldn’t eat there. So I left. Disappointed.

I went down the street to Piada where the manager/chef happily made my salad from ingredients not out on the general line. It was delicious!

CoreLife Eatery

Strongsville

CoreLife Eatery is all about healthy eating.  Luckily for us they think that means its (almost) all gluten free.

The menu features bowls of greens, grains, rice and broth and power plates.  Pick one of their suggestions or create your own.

I had the Greens and Ancient Grains Bowl: Warm quinoa, shredded kale + arugula, tomatoes, corn, chickpeas, broccoli, shredded white cheddar. You watch the bowl being made and can customize as you’d like. The dressings are all gluten free. I had the greek yogurt bleu cheese which didn’t add much flavor. The salad ingredients were the freshest of the fresh.

My dining companion had Shiitake Mushroom & Roasted Tofu Broth Bowl: Vegetable broth, shiitake mushrooms, napa cabbage, shredded kale, roasted tofu, sprouts, ginger, lemongrass, sliced almonds. Perfect for a chilly day.

My only complaint is that they only offer complimentary gluten filled bread. It is the only thing that contains gluten in the restaurant but I wish they had a gluten free option or, even better, served only a gluten free bread choice.

I lunched in Strongsville. Locations in Mentor and Fairlawn have closed.

56 Social also serves breakfast.

But when you walk through the door you are in a slice of gluten free heaven. Lots of choices on the menu. Both the greeter and the server agreed that the kitchen was well aware of requirements of making sure gluten free food is served gluten free.

Udi’s crusts are used for gluten free pizzas. And the fryers are dedicated gluten free – for all fried foods. And the flourless chocolate cake is always available.

I had a hard time making a choice but settled on the “Grilled Oyster Steak Sandwich” and substituted the available Masa Waffle (add $2) for the bread. Served open faced it was oh so tasty. The waffle was a thoughtful and delicious gluten free base. Highly recommend the fries. I chose well.

Other food, enjoyed by gluten eating diners, looked and smelled great. All were happy with their choices and readily agreed to return with me so I can give other menu items a try.
