Celiac safety assessment and key features
Essensia Restaurant & Bar offers a refreshing breath of confidence for gluten-free diners, blending farm-to-table flair with a thoughtful approach to dietary needs. While not fully dedicated gluten-free, the menu is clearly marked, and staff are described as genuinely knowledgeable about celiac concerns—there's even direct praise from celiac guests who felt completely safe. It's the sort of place where you can actually relax and enjoy the vibrant, Mediterranean-inspired flavors without constantly scanning your plate for danger. Still, if you’re highly sensitive, it’s worth that familiar, gentle reminder: speak up about your needs, as shared kitchen spaces mean cross-contact is possible, but their allergy awareness is reassuringly strong.
