The food is good, but the "gluten free" is not celiac safe. In all fairness, Urban Plates puts the disclaimer on the bottom of the menu that the restaurant and kitchen are not gluten free. Although, the food prep folks in the line are ver reassuring about their methods to prevent cross contamination. My four year old and I both have celiac, but I am asymptomatic. She got sick right in the middle of her meal with classic symptoms. This one is off the list for us.

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).

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.
