The food was wonderful. It's hard to find a restaurant that has good gluten free options that the kids and adults will all like. Our waiter wasn't the friendliest, but when there was an issue with some chicken that had been ordered, handled it quickly and notified the manager who was very quick to resolve this issue. Would definitely recommend.

Been bringing my networking group here- friendly & lots of options for those with special dietary needs (gluten or dairy free), but also yummy stuff. Haven’t tried but their scone with creme Fraiche & honey looks ah-mazing!

Ordered a Chillaxin (house tequila “gluten free” infused with cucumbers, agave, served over ice) and a Spicy Jalisco Mule (house tequila “gluten free”, lime juice, agave serrano syrup, ginger beer). Then we had 2-3 shots of Don Julio. Also we shared 2 orders of Empanada Poppers (fresh corn masa, spicy cream cheese, avocado tomatillo salsa), Spicy Adobo Wings (chipotle, citrus, pineapple glaze - this stuff was so spicy) and finally Pollo Asado Nachos (creamy queso, pico de gallo, sour cream, guacamole, black beans, pickled jalapeños). Everything was great just a bit pricey but the service was fantastic!

Beautiful atmosphere drew us in, but the service and food were both fantastic! My husband had the hanger steak and he said it was great but the asparagus was the most perfectly cooked he's ever had. He also got the giant pretzel and loved it. I has the way double smash burger, which was like a big Mac with a gluten free bun and egg and it was so good! I devoured it. The food also came out so fast, we couldn't believe it. Awesome experience.

Excellent coffee and friendly service. I love their draft lattes and hot lattes. Great selection of pastries (and a couple of gluten free options as well).

When I go here I like to think of Milo and what his square meal looked like. This is what I imagine. Not anything extraordinary or terrible. Nothing too filling but not too light. Not meat heavy, veggie only, or gluten free. Just an overall "square meal' is what you can expect. This is what classic San Diego fair is. P.S bring back the butter lettuce.

One of the few healthy places I can eat out at that is ALSO delicious! Many gluten and dairy free options. The salmon plate with curried cauliflower and avocado/tomato salad is my go to. The employees are always friendly, too. Highly recommend!
