Came here for lunch with my celiac son. Ordered ramen labeled gf. Told the server about his allergy, and she assured us everything we ordered was safe. He started throwing up as soon as we got home. We had brought home some left over ramen, so I grabbed my Nima and tested it. Sadly there was a lot of gluten in the ramen. Wish I had taken the Nima to the restaurant!

We come here all the time and always have a great experience. I’ve had most everything on their menu that is gf because they have separate oven space and stove space for gf food. (They even have gf buns, pita, and pizza crust (which is cooked safely))They are very aware of celiac/gluten allergy and will always take care of you. They go above and beyond to ensure safe experiences.

The waiter was very knowledgeable about what I could order or what they could change on the menu to accommodate what I wanted. I enjoyed a turkey burger with a gluten free bun , so delicious!

Before celiac, I thought this place was very safe for those with celiac disease. After my diagnosis, it was the first place I went out to eat. I had a burger wrapped in lettuce with avocado. I had a side of kale salad with nothing on it and champagne vinaigrette. I was terribly sick within 30 minutes. They bake here in an open kitchen. I would stay away if you have celiac disease.

Gluten free options safe for celiacs (but let the staff know about your celiac disease). The food could be tastier (specially the guacamole and the gluten free tortillas). Small portions for the price. The best was the excellent service and the comfortable atmosphere.
