The stars are more about the poor service and mediocre food than about problems with gluten in the food. However, their inability to get the basics right left me concerned about their ability to keep the food form getting cross contaminated. My girlfriend is celiac, so we are pretty cautious. I don't recommend you take a chance with this place if you really need to avoid gluten.

Service was extremely slow and after about 45 minutes the waitress came by to ask us if my girlfriend wanted soup or salad with her meal. That made it clear that they had messed up her order since she had ordered a salad. So they had a chance to correct the order, but when it came out it was still incorrect. The server basically fled the table after bringing the food and didn't come near us again until we were almost done. When the sever did come by, I pointed out that they had gotten my girlfriend's order wrong a second time and the server offered half off. I thought that meant half off on the whole meal, but that was just half off on my girlfriend's meal, the one she didn't order. In my humble opinion, if you serve the wrong order you shouldn't charge for it, especially if it takes you an hour to serve it. At that point we didn't dare take the time to give them a third try to get it right.

The two salads we got were small and unremarkable. At least the chicken on my salad as warm. Her tri-tip was cold.

Celiac friendly?

No
