Gluten free items are marked on the main menu for the most part, except for sides. The waiter was able to tell us which sides are gluten free, which can be adjusted to be gf, and alerted us that the fryer is shared and not gf without us asking. We were planning to share two entrees and ordered one that was marked gf on the menu and one that had to be adjusted, and the waiter marked a gluten allergy on the order. However, the second dish came out clearly without being adjusted as it had breadcrumbs on one of the sides (was brought out by a different server). Our waiter walked by a minute later and noticed, and offered to have the kitchen remake it but we just decided not to split (my partner is not gf). So overall my experience with the waitstaff was very positive, but with the kitchen I am concerned that they didn’t attend to the allergy marking. Since my dish was inherently gf I felt comfortable eating it and now feel fine the next day. So my recommendation would be to order something that is inherently gf rather than asking for adjustments, just to be safe.

The waitress was accommodating to celiac but did not actually seem to fully understand what that entailed. There were numerous items marked gluten free but I asked her if they are fried with the gluten items and she said yes but then insisted it was fine. The food was good but needed to prompt her more to ensure my food would be safe.

They had a lot of GF options, and the waiter was very knowledgeable about precautions. The salads, fish and sides were all fantastic. The GF flourless chocolate cake with vanilla bean ice cream drizzled in Carmel sauce was amazing!!! I highly recommend this restaurant.

The menu indicates what is gluten free and what is not! :) I love those places! Many options are gluten free, including a delicious chocolate cake.

Have symbols on both lunch and dinner menus indicating that dishes are GF as well as ones that are organic. Staff is very nice and many are knowledgeable about getting your food GF (know about cross contamination from frier, etc.). There are four of these, all in southern California and run by the same family. I highly recommend the ceviche, ahi tuna, and flourless chocolate cake.

We ate here after speaking to the manager about food prep. Avoid the fryer if you are celiac. There is a separate fry well for foods without gluten but it is right next to the other well so they do not recommend fried food if you have a severe allergy. Kiddo is sensitive celiac so we avoided the fryer. The waitress said the potato cake side has flour so also avoided that. All grilled fish prepared on own grill, manager said if you want it prepared in separate pan just ask a manager. Kiddo had grilled halibut, rice, black beans and roast carrots. No reactions.

The waitress asked about allergies before we ordered. Not a GF kitchen, so cc is a risk, but I didn't order anything from shared friers, and no negative side effects.

Lots of GF options marked on the menu! Our waitress was very helpful and confirmed with the chef what items would not have cross contamination. I had the hanger steak with sautéed spinach and cilantro lime rice. Very good food and nice patio!

Only getting four stars as they had two items marked as gluten free that weren’t. People forget that most sauces have gluten! Unfortunately I found out the hard way and got horribly sick.
