We just had dinner there tonite and the food was excellent. The gluten-free fish and chips with truffle fries was delicious. The menu specifies GF and the staff is very knowledgeable about their GF foods.

Im celiac, and this place was amazing! They were so nice and told me exactly what what gluten free on the menu (actually most of their menu). They had a gluten free fryer, so i got to enjoy amazing french fries and calamari. They confidently assured me that they were careful with their precautions to make the food safe for me to eat. The service was spectacular and the food was phenomenal. I was so grateful to feel no rmal again and get to eat such delicious food again 🥲 .

I really wanted to eat here. Being I have Celiac, my choices are limited on where I can eat. Wife and I showed up at 5pm looking for food. With a few empty tables inside and out, we were greeted with "I'm sorry, we're not taking any more orders for the night, we're full." Not even able to do a carry out order. I have never seen a restaurant do this before. Understandable if it was close to closing time, but they just opened. Maybe we weren't hipster enough to eat at their 'bistro', guess I'll never know. We ended up doing down the 7Cedars casino and I had a surprisingly delicious hamburger on a gluten free bun.

Staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and take gf seriously. Food is excellent and high quality, so many of their dishes are naturally gluten free anyways but they do have modifications available on most other items. Excellent dessert options too! I always feel safe eating here

Alderwood Bistro has a dedicated GF fryer (Yay, fish and chips and fried calamari!) and a dedicated wood fire oven. The food is delicious, and they have a wide variety of GF offerings.

The server explained that everything there is made from scratch, so they are easily able to accommodate. They have a dedicated fryer, so I had to try the fries and they are amazing (think McDonalds skinny crispy fries but gourmet). Also tried the cauliflower crust pizza (gf) and it was delicious. The server assured that they bake it safely, e.g clean surfaces and the chefs are knowledgeable. Very friendly service. Fairly meat heavy menu. Okay ambiance (probably the best you're going to get for small town dining); unfortunately there were 2 tables next to us that had screaming, messy kids. It's hard for me to know if I got glutenated, as I don't have reactions. But overall it felt safe and the food was excellent. Would go back.

Great experience! We called and checked on GF procedures and to make a reservation. When we arrived the hostess had in the notes that we were celiac and proceeded to explain their GF preparation process. The majority of their items can be made GF, the online menu shows more options than the in-house menu! The pizza was excellent, the pork chops were delicious. Highly recommend this place!

Normally my go-to restaurant for gf in Sequim. Have had issues the last 2 times there. I have celiac disease. Although they usually are very careful in observing gf issues, you need to be vigilant in double checking. I got lazy and assumed since they always were so good at making sure my food was safe I didn't need to keeep reminding them each step of the way after telling my server I was celiac. I ordered gf gnocchi for dinner. Unfortunately for me, it was cooked in the same water used for their pasta they were serving that night. A bad oversight on their part and mine.

Brought out gluten free crackers with humans dip since I can't have the bread that everyone else had. The polenta was the best I've ever had and the veggies were fantastic with pickle onion on top. The white salmon was tender and moist. I am excited to come back!
