Harlow

Harlow Restaurant Review:

About the restaurant: At Harlow on busy Hawthorne Boulevard, enlightened chefs turn out gluten-free fare on plates, in bowls or glasses.

Food & Drinks: Farm-fresh eggs appear in combos such as a scramble with seasonal roasted vegetables and dark greens, tossed in chipotle cashew hollandaise, served with rice or quinoa. (Smokey tempeh may be substituted for eggs.) Other options include walnut flapjacks with maple syrup, and the basic Mighty Bowl, which combines brown rice or quinoa with steamed greens, beans, and a choice of sauces ranging from lemon ginger to sunflower chile cream. There's plenty to enjoy on the liquid side, too, such as lattes with hazelnut or coconut milk, fresh grated-ginger tea and bittersweet hot chocolate. The smoothie bar produces puréed drinks in a rainbow of colors; try the Gilt with coconut milk, carrot-ginger juice, mango, pineapple, turmeric and bee pollen. There's also a full bar.
