WARNING TO THOSE WITH CELIAC DISEASE: If you have celiac disease or are allergic to wheat be VERY careful if you eat here or better yet, just go elsewhere. At least some of the employees have no idea what gluten free means, and I just got a Feta and Watermelon salad that I ordered to be gluten free that had wheat and barley grain (ancient grains) on it. Great, now I get to suffer for weeks with celiac rash... I guess I'm lucky that I don't get DEATHLY ILL like some people do, I just get a terrible rash that makes me want to jump off of a bridge..... all because someone who is working in a restaurant who SHOULD know what gluten free means, doesn't have a clue. Everyone who works in food service should know about food allergies, it could be a matter of life or death to a customer.

A safe option would be their mango smoothie and green goddess chicken Cobb salad. Both are very good. They don't have many gluten free options and I'm not sure how safe they are about cross contamination.

Not completely gluten free, but when I told the woman “gluten allergy” she said the salads and a soup do not have gluten ingredients. She said they change gloves/use clean utensils and called it back as a “sideline.” I was eating in but they packaged it in a plastic to go with a lid to keep it separate.

Terrible the lady at the register wouldnt even look into gluten free. She said we don't do that here. Like I was trying to get anything GF and she wouldn't even bother helping me or asking. But would help the next lady with her food allergy

I ordered the green goddess salad which is gluten free. But got sick after eating. I think it's a bit or miss thing due to cross contamination. But I won't eat there again.
