Summer House Santa Monica (Chicago)
Summer House Santa Monica is a Lettuce Entertain You restaurant on Halsted Street in Lincoln Park with a bright, California-inspired dining room and an attached bakery counter. Its menus mark gluten-free items with a GF key, and the Lettuce Entertain You gluten-free guide notes gluten-free dishes across the menu and that pizzas can be made on a gluten-free crust on request. The menu runs from salads and seafood to wood-fired pizzas, so the marking covers a full dinner menu rather than a short substitution list. Weekend brunch is a major draw, and the GF key carries into the daytime menus as well.
