Orale!

Ohio City

 

Archived by Diane on 5/28/18 – restaurant closed.

Information from Gay: Orale! at 1834 W. 25th St in the Ohio City neighborhood on the west side of Cleveland offers a number of menu options that they are willing to make gluten-free.  Today I tried their lobster gazpacho and the Pollo Ahumado.  I requested that my corn tortillas be cooked separately (i.e. not in the communal fryer) and they baked them for me. The staff is eager to please and the manager, Ann, is attentive to details. Both of my items were delicious and I will definitely return to try additional soups and entrees.  In addition to the friendliness of the staff, the restaurant is spotless – very reassuring when we are concerned about accidental cross-contamination. They are open from 11:00 am to 9:00 pm during the winter. I do suggest that you call ahead (216-862-3117) if there will be more than one GF-oriented diner so as to give Ann and her staff a heads-up. The restaurant has a small, but very cheery, dining area. Sounds really tasty!  If you have eaten there, too, please share your experience by commenting below.

Soho Kitchen and Bar

Ohio City

Gay says:

We stopped at Soho Kitchen and Bar (1889 W 25th) last Thursday evening (around 9 pm so they were not busy) and I was pleasantly shocked to discover they have taken one of their regular menus and marked the GF options on it.  There are several items in each category of appetizers, salads & soups, and entrees + they have one GF beer (Omission) – which I did not try.  It was not busy so the waitress had the opportunity to chat with me and said the chef is very happy to modify items that are not “naturally” gf.  I had the deviled eggs (wonderful) and the “Carolina Peanut” soup – also very good. This place serves “southern style” foods such as deep fried chicken on waffles –  and those items were not GF.  But, if you are with people going there, you can find a number of things to eat.

2/11/2013 update from Gay:

I returned to Soho Kitchen in the Ohio City neighborhood last week and tried another of their gluten-free dishes.  This time I ordered their shrimp, andouille  sausage and grits entree. I am not  fond of grits but this dish may have made me a believer.  It is divine. Soho Kitchen, 1889 W 25th St., Cleveland 216-298-9090.

Thanks, Jennifer, for the information about  Moosehead Saloon.

They list the gluten-free options on the opening page of their plastic menu! It only has 5 items and everything is bun-less, but the food was good! I had a grilled chicken sandwich off the regular menu. Yum. The waitress when asking if I wanted a side said “one of our staff (can’t remember the guy’s exact title) is GF and doesn’t do the usual chips. Would you like something else?” They don’t have GF desert yet, but are thinking about it.
