Absolutely worthwhile. I had the Thai curry, and it was stunningly perfect. Definitely had heat, but it came with a perfect cucumber salad that cooled things right down. No problems after, and the staff were knowledgeable.

What a great find! Robin’s has a lovely outdoor patio, takes care in cross contamination (you still need to do your due diligence- no one is perfect), healthy and delicious meals. We even got to have multiple desserts because they have so many celiac-safe options!

the atmosphere was very cute and the food was tasty — unfortunately, i got quite sick after eating here (i ordered the short rib). i asked the owner whether they were careful with cross contamination, and she seemed confident that they would be able to accommodate my celiacs, but that was not the case for me. it’s really too bad because the food was good and the outdoor seating was adorable, but unless you are willing to risk it, i don’t recommend it for other celiacs.

Beautiful setting, felt like we were in the vineyards in Italy. I had the gluten free burger and it was genuinely the best burger I’ve ever had. My husband had the burger as well, but normal because he doesn’t have celiac disease and he also said it was phenomenal. The Brussel sprouts were good but nowhere near the same level as the burger. We even bought the homemade pickles to take home and recreate the burger!

Great atmosphere, great service, mediocre food. We had Brussels sprouts and calamari apps, robin’s chow for entree. Everything lacked flavor. And I got sick within 20 mins.

Great food and staff were knowledgeable about gluten free food. We are not celiac but are very intolerant so we are very careful. The short ribs were great and the kids LOVED having pasta with gluten free spaghetti. Impressed that all the desserts were all gluten free bar one (unfortunately for my husband that one thing was the carrot cake but he was happy with the rhubarb crumble!). I can see why the reviews for this place are good. Friendly staff!

Unfortunately, we didn't even have the opportunity to try the food because after informing the server I had celiac disease and placing our order, we ordered a gluten free beer that was offered on tje menu...and she brought me a regular beer. After my first sip, I started getting dizzy (vertigo being one of my many symptoms of gluten poisoning) and we jad to leave. Since we are only here for one night, spending it sick in the hotel room before driving home and cutting our trip early really sucks. We are really bummed because this could have been completely avoided.

While Robin's does not have a gluten-free dedicated kitchen , the staff is knowledgeable about the needs of we who must eat gluten free. The food is fresh and deliciously prepared with love and care. I plan to eat there again when next I visit Cambria.

This place had an amazing menu and we were so excited but because of our latex allergy we couldn't eat anything off of the menu. They prep all food with latex gloves (hopefully they'll decide to start using vinyl or nitrile ones before our next trip there as the restaurant is amazing - especially the enclosed outdoor patio that is heated with lamps). So, they were kind enough to identify a few things that hadn't been touched yet with the gloves. We had rice and shrimp and even that tasted wonderful! We dined there 2 nights and they were very accommodating. We called another GF restaurant in town and they also use latex gloves. So, we stuck with Robin's and had no problems. Highly recommend but if you have a latex allergy like we do, you may want to call ahead so they can set aside food that isn't touched with latex gloves.

Fantastic restaurant - gluten free menu items are clearly marked and there are a lot of them! They use a separate fryer for all GF items - the calamari were excellent. All 5 dishes we ordered were exceptionally well prepared - on par with Michelin star rated restaurants.

Not only is it a gluten free gourmet heaven but also dog friendly. They have a very romantic and beautiful garden to dine in. Can't wait to come back to Cambria just to eat here again!

This place is amazing. We stopped on a whim. the town is so cute. Robin's looks like a converted house and patio with seating also in the back yard. They have so many Gluten free items as well as gluten free options. The food was amazing. They were very knowledgeable about Celiac disease. I would recommend to everyone.

Menu is clearly marked as gluten-free or that it can be prepared gluten-free. Delicious beer-battered g-f fish tacos with jicama skate, mango salsa, etc. Wait staff said that the dish is prepared in a separate fryer. Also had a delicious g-f coconut macaroon cookie. Definitely a good place to eat and a lovely dining environment.
