This place is not as gluten free friendly as they first seem. They do have menu items marked as gluten free, but when I mentioned I have Celiac and *need* GF, they indicated that the marked menu items weren't actually completely gluten free and would have to change things to make it safe for me to eat. I still give them 3 stars because they were very accommodating when I pushed for details and making sure it was fully GF, BUT they shouldn't label something GF when it isn't truly so, in case someone doesn't think to ask and thus gets sick afterward. Unfortunately, making some of their dishes GF means they are much less appetizing/tasty (like giving me dry fish instead of with the sauce - making it more bland and not very yummy). They also advertised that their acai bowl was GF, BUT the granola they put on it is only wheat free, not gluten free, and they don't tell the customer this (I found out by asking, since granola is not usually GF).
