I’ve always loved their food but was just diagnosed with celiac. First time back today and I’d say as long as you’re there and on your toes it’s a good spot. I watched the person who was about to touch my plate (with gloves that had just touched bread) and I caught telling him I had celiac. He immediately changed gloves, understood the concern and made me feel at home. I’m still getting used to speaking up at restaurants and his response was really appreciated.

Update, I now have a Nima sensor and both times I have tested the food from urban plates it tested positive for gluten. The mashed potatoes have been safe both times but the chicken has not so either the grill or their utensils have been contaminated. I can lo longer eat here and would recommend others be very careful.

There’s a fair share of gluten free food. You can’t just say “no bread” to have it gluten free. Practically every time I have said “no bread” they have placed bread on top of my food. You must say “GLUTEN ALLERGY” for them to take you seriously. They have gluten free bread, but it’s meh to be honest. If you are celiac I would stick to plates, salads, and bowls. The kitchen is way to complacent to ensure no cross contamination when making gluten free sandwiches. Even if you request gluten free bread, they often grill it - probably on the same grill with “gluten bread”. I doubt it’s a separate dedicated area.

Service is 2.5/5. It’s a hit or miss. The cashiers can be blunt and rude with their lack of grace. If the manager takes your order, it’s fine.

The food is also a hit or miss. Sometimes it’s amazing and dialed-in, other times it’s a let down, especially for the price.

Try to go near opening times/before rush hour. Often times when the kitchen is rushing, they will gloss over specific requests.

If you eat here, be prepared to speak up with the possibility of having to send the food back to the kitchen to have it re-made because of bread placed on your food. Don’t be afraid to speak to the manger if you have to, he seems nice and wants things to be right. Overall do your due diligence, understand the menu and you should be ok.

Unless you have eaten here a few times, I would not order online for delivery/pick-up. The risk is too high. It’s not worth getting sick over. I would eat here at least two times to get a feel and understand of how things are to best avoid getting sick.

I'm very sorry to have to write this review because I really love the taste of the food here, but I tried them again tonight & yet again I had a gluten reaction. In spite of their clear labeling, I suspect they are not careful about cross contamination. Fellow celiac sufferers beware. :-(

Loved this place! GF clearly marked on menu. You can see the food being prepared or served to you. I am really sensitive to cross contamination and did not get sick. Food is all organic. They even have GF desserts but I was too full to try any. I had the salmon, rosemary potatoes, side Caesar salad, & carrot ginger soup. Everything was so good and they have a great selection of wine.

Wonderful healthy gluten free options, from salads, plates with side options, or braises and soup! They also serve wine. Dishes were full of flavor. Fast service as well.

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.

Great selection of gf options. Good tasting food. Server was helpful. The kitchen did give me a regular piece of bread with my meal but the server caught the mistake before I had the chance to verify that it was gf. Chocolate flourless cake was very good.
