I believe one of the chefs here is a celiac, which is one of the reasons they are so good at handling gluten free food. I recommend this restaurant very highly--everything is delicious!!

This is one of my favorite restaurants to go with a group of people! The menu has normal enough items for the picky eaters but interesting items for the adventurous eaters. Many restaurants I find myself saying needing to say "gluten free means no bread, croutons, wheat, soy sauce..." But they need no education here. Every server is well versed in the ingredients and will always check/work with the chef to be sure (I have allergies to wheat, nuts, and dairy). The best part - their gluten free selections aren't simply chicken or salmon with no sauce but dishes designed to be gluten free (my favorite is a coconut milk seafood dish steamed in banana leaves).

Great menu selection. I felt very comfortable eating here based on the menu and the servers knowledge of cross contamination and allergens.

No issues with glutening, had a delicious fresh-tasting meal. GF options listed in a separate section of the menu, many vegetarian options as well.

Edit: above original review from 5/30/13, have eaten there 2 more times since then, and each time was delicious & safe for celiacs.

Always a really great selection of gluten free options and very yummy food. I've been here maybe 3-4 times and usually have a great experience. However, I feel like I should note that the last time I was here, I had an extremely negative experience with bad service. First of all, we were seated in the basement--which is dark and claustrophobic, definitely not as nice as the upstairs dining room--and placed next to a large group with lots of young, loud children. Secondly, I know waitstaff have a hard job and I'm generally not bothered by slow service, but the service we received was unacceptable. It took more than 2 hours to eat (we were a group of 3). Our waitress kept disappearing for long lengths of time, and we had to flag down a second waitress (who was much better than ours) several times to check in on our food, retrieve our credit card after our waitress disappeared with it for 15+ minutes, etc. Our waitress never apologized to us or explained the delays. The second waitress did apologize and told us (after we had given our credit card) that we'd be comped for our meal due to the poor service, which was nice of her, but the manager was also MIA and we'd been there for hours so we ended up just paying and leaving. I have no idea what was going on, but it was very disappointing especially as I had an out-of-town guest with me and wanted them to have a nice meal. The GF food is good, and I've had a positive experience here the other times I've been, but I'm bringing my rating down to 4 stars because of the poor experience. I'm hoping it was just a one-time thing and they were having a particularly bad night, but I have not been back since so it's hard to know.

I was actually very disappointed with their GF offerings, especially items that should have been GF naturally that were on the regular menu but were not on the GF menu. When I asked about one item in particular, I learned that it is because they use pre-packaged sate indian spice mix. I expect more from a restaurant of this caliber.

Great food. Gluten free menu is not that much smaller than the normal menu and seems just as delicious. The curries are delicious. They have cooking classes that are designated as gluten free also (and a great time). Highly recommended.
