Best Gluten Free Restaurants in Greenwood

The service at Whale Wins is outstanding! I arrived early but was able to sit and have tea. While most other tables had brunch items, my friend and I ordered lunch items, including the soup, lettuces, and the burger. All were very good. One of my favorite things on the menu is the zucchini bread dessert, which sounds odd but is an unusual and satisfying finish to a shared meal. I like how the environment is lively yet you can easily have a conversation.

We had the most wonderful experience last night celebrating my Husband’s Birthday. From the sweet hostess who seated us in the cutest booth and wished my husband a happy birthday, to our kind, knowledgable waitress - it was the most welcoming place we had been in years. There was a genuine and authentic care you felt from the staff. The dinner we had could have been the best meal we have had in our lives. The wine list was huge and the ones we chose from France were perfection. Our meals were full of flavor and cooked masterfully. There wasn’t a single thing I would change about our selections. To top it off, they brought out fluffy buttermilk “Happy Birthday” beignets with a single candle to complete our night. We would come back here time and time again. The tea light candles all around, the warm ambiance, friendly staff and outstanding food made for the most magical evening together. 5 Stars all around.

Charming White House on Ballard Ave. Music created an excellent vibe, loved watching the chef flow to the tunes as fabulous food was created. Service was outstanding. Make a reservation and enjoy.

My husband and I came back to Messina for a date night before the ballet at McCaw Hall, and it was just as memorable—if not more—than our first visit on their opening night back in December 2023. This place has truly found its rhythm. We ordered the trio pasta dinner, which was perfect for sharing. It felt like a sampler, but the portions were generous—we had plenty left over to take home. We also shared the Caesar salad and the garlic bread, both of which were excellent. For dessert, we split the tiramisu and the pistachio gelato, and honestly, both were incredible. A sweet and satisfying way to wrap up the meal. As someone from the South, I noticed they don’t offer sweet tea (understandable), but their house-brewed iced tea was really refreshing—not the typical soda-machine stuff, which was a pleasant surprise. Service was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere felt lively and upscale without being stuffy. It does get a little loud inside—likely due to the tall ceilings and acoustics—but we were still able to enjoy our conversation. Messina is a gem near Seattle Center and makes for a perfect pre-show dinner. We’ll definitely be back!

Outstanding food. Well-spaced tables. Excellent service. There is a 22% service charge which is shared by the servers and the back of the house. Additional tip is optional.
