The environment and atmosphere of this location were absolutely beautiful. I met a friend for dinner, I got the vegan fondue and the gluten free breads&veggies to dip. We both loved everything, especially the mocktails! Shout out to Shauna who made our visit that much more enjoyable, we will definitely be back!

Thank you Teresa for taking the time to make me the most delicious gluten free crepe. You went above and beyond to make sure it was perfect. You too the time and were so careful to make sure there was no cross contamination. Only a great place pays attention to detail and you surpassed my expectations. Thanks to Adi and Farah for making my daughter a delicious crepe.

food was great, gluten free burger was 10/10. We had to wait for a table and ended up eating on the tables next door so you might not find a place during lunch

Best meal we had in San Diego. Very good with gluten free items for my wife that needs to eat gluten free. Huge portions, so you can easily split an entree. We split and still had a lot of left overs. Fresh, high quality food. We also had the hummus which was fantastic.

The burgers are stacked high with goodness. There was one person working who took our order and made the food. They have a gluten free bun which is cool. The burgers were good. The indoor seating is actually cool (5 total, 2 four tops, 3 two tops) They Smell canned and bottled beverages and have shakes. We did not try them though.

Authentic, delicious Greek food. Gustavo was a fun and attentive server. Mary (the owner) spent time at each of the tables and shared some fun jokes and stories with us. As wonderful as the people and atmosphere were, the food was absolutely the highlight. Everything we ordered - tzatziki, hummus, melizanasalata, dolmathes, souvlaki, gyros, lentil soup and baklava - was fresh and perfectly seasoned. Also a good selection of gluten free options. Just go. And enjoy.

Good Italian restaurant. Fair number of gluten-free options and drinks were yummy. The truffle risotto was incredible, as were the pork lollipop chops. The beet caprese was so so.

This place was amazing! We had reservations on Thanksgiving. They were very understaffed for a holiday where customers were constantly in and out all night...never an empty chair. So the staff was running around all night. But still, they were all so friendly and helpful. And genuinely so. They were all covering for each other, asking if we needed anything, even though we weren't their table. I have some dietary restrictions(Including gluten and dairy) and they provided a list of every item on their menu and which allergens they each had. I just had to ask for it. They had several options I could have, which was a pleasant surprise. And the food was AMAZING! I had an entree dinner, and it was perfectly cooked and presented. So yummy! And my mom enjoyed all the different meats from the "experience". Great job, Fogo de Chao! I am very impressed and will be back sometime!
