Creekside Grille Restaurant

Owned by a celiac and the restaurant holds a gf training certification. Waiter clearly marks each gf table with a gf sign so that everyone knows someone eating there is gf. Multiple gf options, clearly marked on the menu. Our server knew that the house chips were not gf because they were in a shared fryer. Will return again. The atmosphere was also fabulous with live music and a resident Golden Retriever.

The QR code menu describes in depth the GF awakening of one of the owners when he was diagnosed celiac.

Weekend reservations are a must. Our 11:30 am reservation for an elegant lunch beat the crowd of wine tasters who packed the parking lot and tasting areas in the afternoon. The restaurant is separate from the wine tasting areas making the outdoor restaurant area relaxed.

Server was exceptionally knowledgeable. The hostess staff seemed to be in training and befuddled when attempting to accommodate our party of eight.

I look forward to returning for another great GF meal.

They brought out my daughter’s gluten free sandwich on the same tray as gluten sandwich, practically touching each other. I asked the waiter if it’s possible my daughter’s gluten free food touched Gluten and the waiter rolled his eyes and said no.

Celiac friendly?

Completely celiac safe. Steak sandwich on GF baguette was sensational! Highly recommend

Wonderful place to eat while enjoying the winery! The owner has celiac so the staff has been very educated to gluten free needs and cross contamination. They have GF menus and food is served on black plates so they’re easily recognized as GF. Had the poached pear salad and the escargot with GF toast points as appetizers. Then had the steak sandwich on a GF baguette. We had a wonderful chocolate lava cake for dessert, too!

Fantastic! The both of the owners have celiac disease. They really " get it"! Incedible food!!!

The owners have celiac so the staff is well trained. If it is Gf it comes out on a black plate. They had great vegetarian and vegan options.

Wow! I was weary of trying this place - really ANY new place. More so because I am SUCH a sensitive Celiac. But once we were seated and I reviewed the menu and their GF policy I felt completely comfortable. Chelsea was our server and she was just lovely. I had a salad and the bison burger with lettuce wrap. It was phenomenal! Yum! SO good! It's been almost two hours since we ate and I am not having one single reaction. Maybe that's because two of the owners are celiac themselves. I don't know. I'm just incredibly grateful to be able to have such wonderful food without one single negative reaction. Amazing!

One of the owners has celiac. He has trained his staff well, insisting that "no one better get sick!" Great menu. The creek side burger is yum! Good salads, great bread, and yummy desserts. I've eaten here several times and I've never gotten sick.

The owners of the restaurant have celiac and have really trained the staff on cross contamination. I felt really safe eating here. A good variety to choose from on the GF menu. The appetizer plate and salads were amazing the sandwiches were just ok the buns were dry. The homemade ice cream with GF lady fingers was wonderful!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

A thorough GF menu with some amazing and creative GF food. They probably had 20 GF menu items to choose from. Trained and knowledgeable hostess and server. A celiac's paradise. I had the GF hanger steak and my wife had a nice GF spinach salad with fresh sea bass on the top. Note: for you bocce ball lovers out there, we played a game right after our lunch on the bocce court which was right next to the restaurant... with a glass of wine in hand!

Great food at a fun winery in Temecula (Wilson Creek Winery). A separate, detailed GF menu. From start to finish, everyone from the hostess to the server understood my GF stress/concerns (I am Celiac) and all about cross contact. I had fresh seared Seabass with organic veggies and my wife (also GF) had a Salmon BLT with an amazing GF bun. They also served warm, GF bread to start! We had sautéed calamari for an appetizer and chocolate lava cake for dessert. They had GF beer available, but we went for a bottle of white wine instead. It was crowded (a Saturday) so there was a slight wait, but it was worth it.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Several choices of entrees. They are sensitive to gluten -free guests.

Awesome Gluten Free Menu and they understand cross contamination.
