Fresca

Great staff and awareness of Celiac disease. If waterer is not sure, they check to make sure that food is gluten free.

Fresca is delicious and celiac-safe (1 visit). I savored passion fruit ceviche and gluten-free dessert beautifully presented with a flower. I was passing through San Francisco as a hungry solo diner, and the staff treated me with the utmost hospitality and kindness, even as I asked cautious celiac questions. Then after dinner (major faux pas, IMHO) I opened my laptop and ordered dessert to work on a deadline for the last 30 min until closing-time because I’d just discovered my battery was dying. No one batted an eye, and my server supported me 100%. This was a weeknight in July of 2019, and I am still dreaming of my next visit to Fresca!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Eaten here twice with no issues. The menu has GF markers next to about 50% of the items! However, it's important to let them know you need GF, since some items are naturally so and others involve a different preparation method. Finally, we were warned than the fries are fried in shared oil by the server (they were not marked GF and I asked why). I have no reaction to this type of CC, but I know is a deal breaker for most celiacs and was happy to have been consulted.
