10/10. Can’t wait to go back for lunch. I felt safe eating here and consider GG’s celiac safe. They took excellent care to prepare wonderful safe and vegetarian gluten free food for me.
This place offers the most disappointing gluten free experience I can at this moment ever remember ever had. The selection of items that is free from gluten containing ingredients is fantastic. You look at the menu, and you realize you might be able to have things you haven’t tried in ages. Then at the counter you’re handed a waiver of liability, strongly discouraged from trying any “gluten free” food, and refused any information about the actual efforts made to keep gluten free ingredients gluten free.
I understand that it’s hard to keep a gluten free kitchen. I understand not wanting to be sued, but why refuse to provide any information about the gluten free practices you keep in the kitchen? I rather suspect those practices are in fact quite good! After all, they have many excellent looking dishes they clearly put thought into. Why not let customers know what precautions you take, how they might fail, so they can make an informed decision rather than stonewall, refusing to give up helpful information.
I really wanted to like this place. The ambiance is cute even if outlets are scarce, and I haven’t felt so excited at the prospect of trying gluten free versions of foods celiacs has denied me in ages. But in the reasonable attempt to protect themselves from personal injury liability they unreasonably denied me information I need to make an informed decision, so at this point I’d need a promise to improve their communication and, honestly, a free meal as apology before I gave this place another chance.
I’m not sure there is a better pizza around. The flour is imported from Italy and can be eaten by my celiac wife. To top it off all the staff here are kind, friendly and attentive. Prices are fair and wine is delicious.

Yummy brunch spot in downtown Laguna! Has everything you’d want to eat for brunch and great gluten free options. I got the Mediterranean plate & loved it!
This restaurant provided horrible customer service. Please don't go there to eat, you will regret it. This was my first time at Gina Pizza. I ordered a Gluten-free pizza with pesto sauce, light cheese and two toppings. When I got back to my place, the pizza didn't have light cheese and was made with tomato sauce and pesto sauce. I'm allergic to tomatoes. I called the restaurant and the cashier told me it was my fault. The only way the pizza will not get tomato sauce, if you asked for it to be removed. Why would I ask for tomato sauce to be removed if I ordered pesto? The cashier didn't offer to remake my pizza or give me my money back. She said she would give me a 15% discount on my next order. This was my first and last order with this restaurant.
Incredible experience dining with our server Margarita at Starfish. She was so sweet, accommodating and patience with us as we walked through the menu in request of gluten free options. She was incredible and truly enhanced our dining experience. Would 10/10 come back and request her!
Delicious food and incredibly friendly service. I also found a new favorite tea there (Coconutea), which they offer through a local tea maker. Highly recommended spot! Gluten-free friendly.
Not celiac-friendly, as the menu might have you believe. Though the menu offers multiple items that claim they can be "prepared gluten free upon request," this statement is false because items labeled GF are cooked in the same oil/fryer as foods containing gluten. Additionally, items on the menu that come with bread or toast are made GF by simply removing the bread with no alternative grain replacement.
The menu doesn’t say anything about gluten-free, but the waiter assured me that there was a dedicated fryer and that everything in the menu could be made with tweaks to be gluten-free. He also said that the manager would be notified that I had celiac, as well as the kitchen. The chef delivered my meal separately and it was incredibly delicious. My partner did not need gluten-free and he said it was one of the best Mexican dishes he had ever had. I felt very safe and cared for!
So yummy and healthy (Delicious and nutritious):). Grass fed, vegan friendly, keto friendly, gluten free. Seed oil free. Such great service- it’s like a community feeling in this place.
Delicious food, fresh ingredients and options for allergies
If gluten free (gf) the corn tortillas and tortilla chips are not safe due to cross contamination. The burrito bowl is safe and is delicious.
The staff takes allergies seriously and cares about their customers.
The restaurant is conveniently located across from public lot 5 and has street parking.
Favorite place to chill and eat in Southern California. Good food, draft beer along with view and SoCal vibes is hard to beat!
Highly recommend the fish tacos and ceviche along with whatever draft beef they have.
Also for my wife they had some gluten free options including gluten free buns for her burger. Very knowledgeable on the topic.
Gluten-free options I had the salmon it was delicious. And the presentation was beautiful! Our server was knowledgeable about gluten-free options
Hands down, it was the best meal I had on my entire vacation from Palm Desert to Laguna Beach. Thank you for a wonderful experience and most of all for making my dietary restrictions feel normal.
First I will say I never write reviews, but after my dinning experience at Maro, I must. From the first sip of my house made sangria, which was the best I've ever had, to the amazing wood fire grilled appetizers, delicious entres and decadent desert, this was hands down the best dinning experience I have had in, I can't even remember. We were greeted and served by Chris, who couldn't have been more welcoming and knowledgeable about the abundant variety of fresh 100% organic ingredients, gluten free and vegetarian options for me and meat and seafood options for my partner. The food was excellent, and cooked to perfection in their wood fire grill...very tasty. The fire grilled artichoke appetizer and mushroom soup entree are a must! The service was outstanding, and the ambience including the Bossa Nova music made for a romantic yet cool and refreshing top notch dining experience. Can't wait to go back. Thank you to Chris and all the Maro staff, such a pleasure!
One of the best dining experiences my family has had! The food and the staff were incredible. I have a gluten allergy and they took great care of me and keeping me safe while still delivering amazing food. I would HIGHLY recommend.
I'm rating this a 5 because it's very rare to find dairy free gluten free dessert! I get the chocolate and vanilla combo with some toppings. Place could be cleaner. The toppings are do it yourself so it's a little messy. The chocolate chips looked wet? The yogurt is pay by the lb (including toppings) Not alot of space inside to sit. Some tables outside.
They advertise GF pasta, we called and made reservations where we told them about our party's gluten allergy, then we get there and they basically refused to serve us. "We're too busy" was the excuse. You can either accommodate gluten issues or you can't. Don't go here if you have celiac.
We recently took a trip to Laguna Beach and had the pleasure of dining at Coyote Grill for an evening dinner with our family. The ocean views from the restaurant were simply breathtaking, and the food was delectable. They were also accommodating to gluten-free dietary needs, adding to our satisfaction. The margaritas served as the perfect extra touch to our dining experience, enhancing our memorable evening out while visiting Laguna.
Went there for Sunday Brunch. Great décor, staff , and food. Lots of gluten free options. Had the shrimp tacos and they were great. The music was very loud so it was hard to talk to the others on the table. Booth indoor and outdoor seating with wide open windows so lots of fresh air. But it was very cold that day, so remember to dress warmly.
Love this place! Tried the Mussels in the Blue Cheese cream broth and it was outstanding! I paired that up with a Gluten Free Belgian Beer (Green) which was went down well! With another location now in San Clemente we look forward to our next rendezvous.
For pool food I was impressed. To have Keto friendly and gluten free options and a couple of them at that is amazing. Way to go montage! Enjoyed the ahi bowl sub lettuce for rice and the crudite plate.
Beautiful breakfast dining experience. The staff was very gracious, and paid attention to detail. The food was excellent and they catered to my celiac dietary restrictions.
The Montage property is beautiful and we enjoyed a stroll along the hillside/beach path after breakfast. A special place to make memories.
Celiac friendly
