Nice spot to have a sit-down and eat with some friends for breakfast and lunch. Had a bunch of tasty offerings that you typically find in a California style brunch spot. Love my eggs so I had to dip into my omelette section but the most interesting dish was the brown rice gluten free pancakes. Pancakes or something different but tasted nice despite the weird consistency. I think it was on special, but the Peach horchata drink was very tasty. Not too sweet and definitely worth the mention. Parking could be better but hey I could say that about the majority of California so I'm just nitpicking. Would go back!
My friend was in town for one night and we looked up places that had vegan and gluten free options for her. It was 5 stars so we decided to give it a try.
I appreciate a beautiful asthetic environment, the decor was simple but elegant. Lighting was perfect. There is outside and inside dining.
We started with the dolmas, beef & lamb with rice. Tender and delicious.
We shared chicken and steak kabobs. They were beautifully presented, and perfectly prepared.
Our server, Jonathan was spectacular! It was a slow evening and he was handling the tables inside and outside with skill. He was pleasant and funny and professional.
This place is a gem! Don’t think about it anymore, go there now! You won’t regret it! I can’t wait to go back!

Visited Cinque Terre recently for dinner and had a wonderful time. I appreciated the chef's knowledge of gluten free food, and a very grateful to fresh-made gluten free pasta. I had the spaghetti di mare and my partner had the parpadelle alla bolognese. We both practically cleaned our plates.
This place was great. I was visiting the area and searched the web for gluten free restaurants. The owner has Crohn's Disease and is extremely educated on the needs of diners with food sensitivities. He takes care to make sure there is no cross contamination by placing the gluten free crust in it's own pan and using a separate pizza cutter for the GF pizzas. The sauce was delicious and the cheese was baked to perfection. This was the most "normal-tasing" pizza I've had in a long time. Next time I'm passing through SoCal, I will make sure to grab a couple.
Had no expectations picking a highly reviewed Italian restaurant in the Pacific Palisades when I’m vegetarian and gluten-free. The couple sitting next to us were regulars and ordered something that wasn’t on the menu which looked great insane. They mentioned that the chef is very accommodating.
So I ordered the gluten free penne with what the woman next to me had - porcinis and truffles. When the waiter brought the plate out he said please don’t ask for Parmesan as it’s perfect as it is. So I said ok. And omg it was a delicious dish! Highly recommended.
My wife and friend were also delighted by their meals. We became friends with our neighbors. The service was great too.
Will definitely come back 👍👍👍
