Ike's Bistro

The menu marks gluten-free items and a dedicated fryer is reported by multiple community reviews. Staff are described as knowledgeable about coeliac safety, and the kitchen will accommodate requests like gluten-free French toast not listed on the menu. However, the kitchen is not dedicated gluten-free, and one review reports a negative experience with staff confusion and suspected cross-contamination. A separate vegan menu is mostly gluten-free except for one dish. Call ahead to confirm current practices.

Honest caveat: One reviewer reported staff confusion over combined vegan/gluten-free orders, repeated dish returns, and suspected cross-contamination leading to illness.

Vegan

confidence 70% ·

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.

The venue has a dedicated vegan menu with items clearly labeled, and a separate vegan wine list. Staff receive vegan training and are described as friendly and accommodating. However, one review reports staff confusion when handling combined vegan and gluten-free orders, and the kitchen is shared. The official website links a vegan menu PDF. Overall reliable for vegan diners, but those with additional allergies should confirm with staff.

Honest caveat: One reviewer reported staff confusion over combined vegan/gluten-free orders, requiring food to be sent back.

Dairy-free

confidence 50% ·

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

A few reviews mention staff knowledge about dairy allergies and that the kitchen can accommodate dairy-free requests, but there is no marked menu or dedicated equipment. The vegan menu is likely dairy-free by nature, but no specific dairy-free practices are documented. Best to call ahead and confirm.

Soy-free

confidence 40% ·
