Note: Only writing this to let the owner know in case they aren't aware of the celiac review apps and the recent change. It's otherwise an excellent place with amazing staff and food, hope that it can get resolved for the celiac community.
Something has gone wrong with their sourcing of gluten free ingredients.
I have celiac and suddenly after incorporating this restaurant into my diet my blood work numbers have exploded upwards. I track my numbers very closely multiple times a year and I've done a lot of elimination and it points pretty heavily towards this place as being the culprit. This also reflects in the reviews for find me gluten free website where people are getting violent reactions in the last year. Hopefully they eventually figure out where the gluten is coming from so that other celiac individuals and I can go back here again as their food is otherwise very tasty. I would recommend them to redo the testing that they once did in 2019 to figure out where the source of the problem is. Thank you
We had an amazing evening at The Firefly: the food was just amazing and the staff super nice! Thank you for providing a safe gluten free environment. We cannot recommend more this place
My friend, who is severely celiac, got very sick here. They say all the food is gluten free, but that’s obviously not true. We looked up everything about this restaurant after she got sick and saw the review of some other person on this site who also got sick. They sell a lot of oats, so that’s probably why she got sick. Cross contamination. Watch out!!! For the not celiac’s, the food is good it just isn’t totally gluten free.
Awesome place to eat first time here in San Francisco, and being a gluten free celiac, they did the best gluten free double burger with lettuce buns I have ever had. Their fryer is also GF and the potatoes are cut on site.

It was a disappointment because online it states they have gluten free pizza with designated ovens. Not only they did not have it the waitress told us it is not a gluten friendly restaurant and that there is flour flying all over the place. Being celiac I walked out. Not nice at all. Celiac friends go across the street to Acquolina. Great service, atmosphere and gluten free options.
Incredible bowl of noodles! I have a gluten-free diet so it can be hard to find good pho/ramen. And the photo speaks for itself on how much I liked my bowl of rice noodles! Perfectly cooked and seasoned meat, rich broth, and just the right amount. I loved having the extras on the side so that I could personalize the flavoring. As for the atmosphere, I loved the Disco music softly playing but the chairs were a little uncomfortable.
I go here all the time for the sweet plantain bowl so I got it catered to my birthday party ! It was a super easy process and my guests said it was the best food they'd had catered at an event! We had vegan and gluten free people and so it was able to accommodate everyone :)
Delicious and nearly everything is gluten free, too. It was so good that we ate there one night and went back for lunch the next day to try some things we didn’t eat the night before.
Food was ok, came out quickly and service was great but it was busy and relatively loud while we were dining. The ramen was the most disappointing to me- noodles seemed borderline overcooked and the broth was just salty but with little actual flavour. I found it to be some of the more blah vegan dishes I’ve had in a while. It was either super spicy or just tasted like rice. The vegan cream cheese seemed a little off to be honest but that’s on me for not saying anything. I will say they’re great at accommodating allergies as I’ve heard they’ve accommodated gluten free + avocado allergy.
I'm a big fan of moonbowls!
-Excellent taste! I had the tofu bowl and really enjoyed the various toppings (you get upto 5). My favorites: fresno chiles, roasted corn, citrus kale.
-Fast delivery, everything was very fresh
-Vegans, vegetarians and gluten free people can easily order. Love that the menu is so nicely labeled.
-Other favorites: The various sauces (ginger-soy and creamy sesame), and sweet potato dumplings
Damnnn this place is good.
You can tell the ingredients are high quality and fresh just by looking at them.
I got the porridge which is gluten free, and it did not disappoint. Was my first time having a savoury porridge, and I’m glad I tried it here!
Not quite as flavourful as I’d expected, but I will absolutely be coming back to try the sweet version of the porridge too 😊
This place is amazing. I didn’t play any games but the vibe of people in there was great.
Food was amazing. Great to have a fully dedicated gluten free menu. I will 100% be back
This place was great, the staff were attentive and kind. I ordered Seafood Fettuccine and it was amazing. My boyfriend is gluten free and he was catered for too!
The burgers are pretty good, and gluten-free buns are available for an additional fee. However, the price remains quite high.
Orders are taken at the kiosks.
The wait was very long, even though the restaurant wasn't particularly busy.
The dining room is clean and decorated, but the atmosphere remains rather cold.

Really tasty vegan food, even my boyfriend who normally doesn’t like vegan food found it tasty and filling!
We got a wildseed burger, a watermelon salad, spicy sausage pizza, pasta and really nice drinks. I recommend the tumeric latte and charcoal lemonade :)
They offer gluten-free options too, and obviously everything is dairy free as well :)
The ambiance is nice and I’d come back again!
Huge crowd, high season, and they still accommodated us. Fifty minute wait was fun in the bar with great cocktails. They seated us far sooner than they planned. Indoor and outdoor seating. Call ahead, get a reservation. Very loud. Not easy for hearing impaired. Very dark interior. Use caution with elderly. Fast service despite heavy volume. Bathrooms consistently cleaned. Great service. Delicious food. Comfortable, relaxed experience. One feels they are in the hands of professionals. Parking a challenge. Plan ahead of use the nearby buses, taxi or ride share. Bikes probably a good idea too. Gluten free accommodated. Waiter was a magician keeping the water flowing. It was greatly appreciated. Plates were removed promptly. Families of all ages were accommodated.
Love the ceviches and the view from the patio is amazing. They’re really careful with allergies and have lots of gluten free and celiac safe options as well!
Lots of gluten free options. Staff were very knowledgeable and Tamari was provided as standard instead of soy sauce. Sushi rolls and nigiri were great! The Giddy Geisha cocktail was impeccable!!!!
To say my dinner at State Bird was outstanding does not do the staff, the food, or the service proper justice.
I’m gluten intolerant (medical, not a dietary choice). Shawna, our server, and Hattie, the manager for the evening, not only ensured that the entire staff knew of the allergy, but went above and beyond to write out a menu for me, detailing what dishes could and could not be modified as well as what dishes were safe. As a first-time customer here, I could safely make informed decisions even with their dim-sum style of service. The impeccable attention to detail came from all staff members, and I was notified of possible modifications for every dish being brought around.
I felt so incredibly comfortable, accommodated for, and taken care of while navigating a serious allergy in this Michelin Star restaurant. Modifications can be a hassle and a half for the kitchen sometimes, especially with such a curated menu, and it felt like the most natural thing in the world here. Our service was smooth and easy, which was a breath of fresh air.
The food was spectacular: not only was there a wide variety of safe dishes to choose from, even the dishes that were modified were phenomenal, as if the lack of gluten was never a factor at all. At all. As in, seriously, GET the state bird with provisions and the whole shebang, because even when gluten-free the fried quail is astounding. The pork belly salad was brilliantly balanced, and the ice cream sandwich was an incredible end to our meal.
Cleanliness, attention to detail, friendly service, and seamless communication across the board were the cherry on top for this absolutely phenomenal meal. Thank you, State Bird Provisions, for the delicious experience. We’ll certainly be back for more.
As a person with celiac disease I was so excited to learn about the gluten free pizza here! The staff told me that the gluten free pizzas are prepared in a separate area and though they're cooked in the same oven, they're also cut in a designated gf area. The pizza was really delicious! They also have a bunch of apps labeled gluten free. The space is nice and airy with a lovely view of the bay. Highly recommend!
First time trying this out after hearing about and how delicious the bowls and smoothies are. I ordered the Bay Berry with gluten free granola. Small was a perfect size snack! Only a 15 minute wait, definitely recommend ordering ahead on the QR code or app! Please give them some Air-conditioning it was a little warm inside for the Awesome staff preparing the orders.
Not the most pretty or stunning environment but it’s a restaurant and they nail the wings! Crispy but extremely tender. Everything is dairy and gluten free which is extremely impressive for the almost perfect chicken wings and sauce. Service is amazing and very friendly. Ghost pepper sauce was delicious if you end up coming here!
There was an abundance of food options and almost EVERYTHING was gluten free! I wish my stomach could have held more food considering it was “all you can eat” and everything I tried was delicious. Our server, Milton, was exquisite and very helpful during our dining experience. 100% recommend!
