Delicious! We got a recommendation from a bartender at the Del. Went for dinner; I’m celiac, and there were lots of clearly marked gluten-free options. Server was knowledgeable and friendly, very helpful when it came to deciding what to order! Ended up with Parmesan fries for appetizer, seared ahi/korean steak entrees, and broccolini side. Both entrees had a bit of a kick, so be aware if you aren’t looking for spicy food. Key lime brûlée dessert was great! Definitely would come back.

I have to eat gluten free and the pancakes hold up just like real gluten filled pancakes and even taste great. Service is fast, tight space but manageable. People are friendly and I swear the menu is massive and they have a 20 arm alien in the back cooking everything to order like in the film Men in Black.

Well worth the wait! This small local eatery was packed on Saturday night which was great to see people supporting local businesses. I had a gluten free pizza and it was crammed with delicious toppings. My kids are cheese pizza lovers and they devoured their pizza. I would definitely recommend this pizzeria.

So impressed with Bluewater Boathouse! This is the original boathouse for Hotel del Coronado that was converted to a restaurant. Such a beautiful, historic place! Our experience from start to finish was excellent. The hostesses greeted us with smiles, even though we didn't have a reservation. Our group of 6 arrived for an early dinner at 5:15 and were seated right away on the covered patio looking out on the water. Our server Malana was delightful and very knowledgeable of the menu and allergens. She gave great recommendations, all of which were superb. She always had a smile and joyful attitude. Every dish in our group was delicious. We joked that we didn't like it since we all cleaned our plates. So many choices for fresh seafood. Great gluten free options and even some vegan. The separate menu was much appreciated. (The only negative for me was not being able to taste the incredible smelling sourdough bread that everyone said was fresh and perfect! Stupid celiac.) Highly recommend. We'll certainly be back when we're in town.

Darling little corner restaurant featuring delicious food and beverages. We stopped in for a late breakfast and were delighted with the quality of the food and service. They could accommodate gluten-free needs of one of us. The baha fish tacos were so fresh and tasty. Clean everywhere. Really nice wait staff.

Outstanding service! Good food that is clearly labeled gluten free. Had a dinner party for 8, and everyone loves their meal. Only "issue" was the creme brulee. The topping was burned on two of them and pretty much ruined the dessert, but everything else was great. Will be back for sure!
