Great selection of gf options. Good tasting food. Server was helpful. The kitchen did give me a regular piece of bread with my meal but the server caught the mistake before I had the chance to verify that it was gf. Chocolate flourless cake was very good.

Just ordered from them. Despite the GLUTEN FREE checkbox, "No Bread" checkbox, and both GLUTEN FREE and NO BREAD printed on the ticket on the bag, the bag had a baggie of bread, and a cup of croutons, the crouton cup was not sealed well and ajar, the bread bag was just a paper bakery style bag with crumbs escaping all over the bag. I ordered a steak plate with mashed potatoes and no gravy, a side salad (that was two large leaves of lettuce and some onions with a teaspoon of vinaigrette), and a tomatoe soup. I inspected all the containers and it didn't seem any crumbs got inside... Less than 20 min later I'm running to the bathroom. *SIGH*

Specifying no-bread didn't matter, they put bread in my order anyway.

Love how their menu marks items that are GF (gluten free), DF (dairy free), Vegan/Vegetarian. Many choices including dessert options and the food is good. Only wish the portions were a little larger. Parking is also available for free with validation or there is a 10 minute parking area right outside for take out orders. They have a covered outside sitting area as well.

Awful experience. Spoke with the staff about what was safe, ordered the safe selection and was given croutons on my salad, and two side dishes that had gluten in the main ingredients. So glad my kids didn’t eat the food!

Items clearly labeled GF, DF, Vegan. There's also GF bread as a side, and cake and cookies for dessert (not DF).

Menu is clearly marked but you still need to tell them. They will bring you the gluten free bread

I am a high reacting celiac, and I had no problem eating lunch at this Urban Plates at The Forum in Carlsbad CA. I had the roasted sea bass with roasted small potatoes and asparagus. It was really good, cooked just right. These items were clearly marked as GF on the menu, and the person who took our order seemed knowledgeable enough.
