Ate here while in town. Read the reviews on Find Me Gluten Free and it was close by. Clearly communicated I had Celiacs with waitstaff and ordered off their GF menu. About 10 minutes into eating my meal I could feel the gluten and knew something had gone wrong. The person with me ordering off the gluten menu enjoyed their dinner. I personally wouldn’t feel safe trying this restaurant again without my Nima.

Food was good, menu was very clearly marked. Wait staff apologized for not having all the gf desserts labeled as such, but no issues with the food.

Multiple menu items noted as gluten free. Tasty food. Person who delivered my starter and main made sure to reassure me the food was gluten free. I'd go back.

The food was good and the menu is labeled with gluten free items. Lots of choice.

They did not take cross contamination seriously and if here had been better options I would have left. The waiter had no idea what that was and was offended when I told him what needed to happen. I got glutened.

Live and learn. Next time a waiter seems offended I will leave the restaurant.

They have a separate gluten free menu and staff seemed knowledgeable. I had the spaghetti and meatballs. It came out quickly, almost too quickly. Made me wonder if it was a pre-made , microwaved dish. The pasta and sauce itself was good, but I really did not like the meatballs. I have eaten and made gluten free meatballs many times, but theirs were not very good at all. I am not even sure I can pinpoint why, but they were very dry and bland. At the end of the day, I didn’t get sick, but definitely overpriced for what I got.

We ate here today with my small son and husband- both gf and df. The waiter was really knowledgable and was able to sort two really delicious meals for them, which they both really enjoyed! My only gripe was that mine and my daughter’s ‘normal meals’ came out at different times, so not all our food was there to be water together. But the food was all really tasty and he really knew his stuff!

No GF menu, but the staff were able to identify several options which were either GF or could be made GF. Offered GF pasta, cooked in fresh water. We ate at a slow time (2PM), but were told that the head chef personally prepared our meals, after learning that we had 3 celiacs in our party. All-in-all, everyone enjoyed their food, and no one felt ill afterwards.

We visited for dinner while vacationing in San Francisco. Great restaurant with a decent gluten free menu. Serving staff was knowledgeable. We all had pasta dishes and they were delicious. They also have gluten free beer. It’s definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.

They don't have gluten free bread to accompany starters which was disappointing. Spaghetti and meat ball were good but not great. Had limited deserts gluten free. A bit expensive in my eyes. All in all pleasant experience but not great

I'm not from California so perhaps not used to wait staff being so knowledgable about celiac. Our server made me feel so safe. I've never been handled with such care before. The food was delicious - salad, salmon and gelato. Might have been pricey but well worth it!

Not worth the price. Go somewhere else. I will say The Caesar salad was good. Drinks were reasonable and they had several gluten free options. However the price and non-existent service negates the good parts of this restaurant.

One word - AMAZING!! We had 2 gluten free dishes. Short Rib Braised Beef which was no kidding the best meal I have ever had. We also had the Spaghetti & Meatballs. They had many GF options for both dinner and dessert. For dessert I had a chocolate truffle which was more like a huge chocolate brownie with icecream it was mouthwatering!! Sometimes being Coeliac is hard but this place made it so easy and such good quality meals I could have nearly cried I was that happy!
