I adore this place! Even though the menu isn’t labeled the waitstaff are consistently knowledgeable and always ask the kitchen if they aren’t sure (which very rarely happens!). The food is phenomenal and the atmosphere is lovely. Great date night place!

I’ve been really impressed that every single time I’ve been (15+ times since they opened ~6 years ago), every single staff member knows what celiac is. Like a previous reviewer said, no GF menu itself but they can tell you what is GF or what can be modified to be. Very charming, homey, California place. Not necessarily a ton on the menu but you’ll feel safe here and the atmosphere is amazing. Great friend, family, or even first or second date spot.

They don’t make what is gluten free on their menu but they know exactly what is and also ask if you have celiac specifically so they know to take extra precautions. I got the carnitas torpedo and it did not disappoint! Nice to have another place that is knowledgeable and tasty!

Limited menu, but staff seems knowledgeable. Haven’t been sick yet (have been 3-4 times). I’m a sensitive celiac.

Local, Organic small business with consciousness of Food Allergies. I was able to ask questions about the menu and they made immediate recommendations to accommodate a celiac diet. The food quality to price is also relatively reasonable for the Neighborhood. I honestly don't recall of they have a dedicated menu, I just recall a very knowledgeable waitstaff.
