Cross-contamination alert! I was told the gluten free menu was celiac safe, and only after asking multiple questions was I told that almost all the proteins are grilled on the exact same surface where wheat bread is toasted. There was one entree they said I could have without CC, but I didn't trust them at that point. The menu is not safe!

Review
I got the beef with mushrooms and mashed potatoes. It was ok and I did not get sick. I ordered it for takeout and the food looked nothing like in the pictures on the menu… it looked more like a cheap frozen dinner. But I didn’t get sick and it tasted ok, so I’d go again. Maybe better in person.
The menu was well marked and they seem very conscious of allergies.

Amazing food and service. Open kitchen area. They have fresh lemonades on tap with different flavors. Fresh kombucha that was amazing. And the food is SPECTACULAR. The braised beef bowl with mashed potatoes tastes like a mom is in the kitchen making dinner. And it’s gluten free!! Lots of vegetarian and vegan options

Review
Awful experience. Spoke with the staff about what was safe, ordered the safe selection and was given croutons on my salad, and two side dishes that had gluten in the main ingredients. So glad my kids didn’t eat the food!

Items clearly labeled GF, DF, Vegan. There's also GF bread as a side, and cake and cookies for dessert (not DF).

Review
I am a high reacting celiac, and I had no problem eating lunch at this Urban Plates at The Forum in Carlsbad CA. I had the roasted sea bass with roasted small potatoes and asparagus. It was really good, cooked just right. These items were clearly marked as GF on the menu, and the person who took our order seemed knowledgeable enough.
