Recently I was at Jonathan's beach club in Santa Monica with a dear friend. I thought to myself that at a high end beach club where the memberships are not cheap, they ought to know what gluten free means. No such luck. The guy at the register actually said, with incredulity "You're allergic to glue?!"
Tonight for dinner was an entirely different experience. I had dinner with the same dear friend at a place called "Taste" and boy does this joint have plenty of it. I was SO impressed with their menu. It was the first time in sixteen years that I ordered pasta with sauteed basil, tomato, garlic and spinach over brown rice penne! This happens to be my favorite pasta dish so I was thrilled.
I savored every bite and happily went to talk with chef Brian about his gluten free option. He was highly knowledgeable on cross contamination and issues facing the gluten free. He said he would re-work any dish he could to satisfy the gluten free eater and with great pleasure.
There are two locations in the LA area. Their menu is inventive and their food well prepared and presented. They use hormone and antibiotic free meats and fresh organic vegetables when available. These are my kind of people.
They have two locations - one at Melrose near La Cienega and one in The Palisades. Go! Eat, drink and enjoy a conscious restaurant choice.
Here's their website: http://www.ilovetaste.com/

An Incredible Restaurant in Los Angeles
I am a huge fan of trying new restaurants. A private chef client raved about Senor Fish, located at 2nd and Alameda in Little Tokyo. Boy was she right! I ordered three fish tacos, three different kinds of fish - sea bass, tuna and salmon. They were perfectly marinated, expertly grilled and the chipotle salsa was by far the best I ever had. I don't typically order fish tacos due to quality issues but these were stupendous!!!
The service was wonderful. The atmosphere was like being in Mexico for the evening with brightly colored walls, mexican tiles and potted trees all around the outdoor patio. All their food is made fresh right there including their salsas - which are not too spicy. The food is inexpensive as well. It's a great place to have a party or get together with friends as well. There's plenty of room with a bar separate from the restaurant.
For all their locations, menu and information, click the link below and please GO!!! WOW!!!
