GF marked on the menu and some other dishes can be made GF by subbing sauces or dressings.

Not dedicated but they do take care.

I dined outside so I am not aware of any measures taken. Visited for lunch and had an Epinard salad (Baby Spinach, Goat Cheese, Walnuts, Cranberries, Herbs, Red Wine Vinaigrette & I had pulled-chicken added). Service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The food was delicious and I definitely would go back. A broader selection of GF items would be very welcome!

Great French-ish restaurant with several great GF options. Understand cross contamination.

Snails -- why did it have to be snails? The wife had these but GF without bread.
Duck salad. Fancy name on the menu though.
Organic Chicken with amazing D’hotel sauce. French fries were perfectly Golden with a light crunch. Not greasy at all. Yum.
Seared Ahi Tuna salad. AMAZING! Potatoes and green beans hidden underneath. Fun flavors.

Went here for lunch and tried the salade nicoise. Food seemed very fresh and I really liked the combinations in the salads. The sandwiches looked good too (not gluten free but if you go with someone who wants a sandwich). Very nice outdoor seating, definitely recommend for a healthy lunch. I am very sensitive to gluten and had no problems.

I usually get their chicken with green olive tapenade, peas/carrots and roasted veggies and not once reacted to it. Simple, delicious, healthy, GF.

The menu was well marked and a lot of GF options. No GF desserts. The food was good. I didn’t have a reaction.

The server, however, was super rude when I inquired about using clean prep surfaces and cooking pots/utensils. It was really uncalled for. If I hadn’t been with a group, I would have left.

The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. Everything GF on menu was clearly labeled, mostly everything except the bread and a few other items. No GF bun option for burger or sandwiches. I had the seared ahi tuna salad and my husband (celiac) had the organic chicken with maitre D’hotel-Paris, Centre (sauce), with French fries as a side. So many delicious flavors! We left feeling like we just had lunch in France!❤

Everything is well marked on the menu plus they were so friendly and knowledgeable. All kinds of meat are gluten free and you just pick a gluten free sauce. Had steak with lemon herb sauce and spinach on the side. Sauce was so delicious. I ordered medium rare and it came out medium well.

Delicious truffle fries and salad. Love the groove of this French casual restaurant (order at the counter; food is delivered). Had a good salad as well. Fries tested GF with my Nima Sensor. Very good service!

I have celiac disease and used to eat here all the time prior to my diagnosis. I had to meet a friend out in San Carlos and needed to find a place for lunch. To my surprise, Cuisinette showed up on Find Me Gluten Free. I looked at the menu and noticed that items were clearly marked as GF. For my lunch, I ordered the shrimp with Provençal sauce and the vegetables with curry oil. It was delicious and best of all, I did not have a reaction. I can't wait come back!

Gluten free items are marked in the menu and the owners of this lovely and casual restaurant are so helpful. We love their food and after eating there 5+ times, my Celiac husband and daughter have never gotten sick. We have enjoyed each and every meal here!

For most gluten-free diners, French food is a minefield -- sauces, breads, etc. -- but Cuisinett has you covered. The menu indicates which dishes are naturally gluten-free (about 2/3 of the menu) and a few more can be made safely with minor changes -- just ask. Even the fries are made in a dedicated fryer. I've been a regular here since it opened three years ago and have never had *any* trouble.
