Update: We went to try their brunch. The food was great, we tried the salmon and the steak eggs Benedict. We also tried an eggplant dish. The appetizer salad was amazing, very fresh and flavourful. There was one huge issue though, we had two people in our group with a food allergy and A.R. dropped the ball on providing a safe and allergy friendly experience.They brought out regular bread instead of gluten free. A bite was eaten off the bread before we realized it was not allergen friendly, it was regular bread. The manager came over and said that they would compensate our meal completely. She even encouraged we get dessert. She also informed us that the staffed was educated on the importance of being careful when serving people with allergies. We were satisfied with the resolution. However, when we asked for the original total of our check, so we can tip on the original amount, she informed us that we would have to pay for two of the entrees. We don't mind paying and never expected to get credited for the whole meal prior to her offering to do so, but it was something she offered and said would happen. It was off putting, why even offer it. My suggestion is to see if that is something you can do BEFORE offering to take care of the whole check. Old review: The food is great 90 percent of the time. They experiment with ingredients and have different dishes depending on the season. Usually, the dishes they serve are great. Some are fails but they make it right. Drinks are good too, my favorite is the paloma. They are wonderful with allergies and always accommodate my wheat allergy. They even have gluten-free biscuits! They go well with the charcuterie board. The customer service is always on point, that's what keeps us coming back. Free valet parking out front of the hotel.

We were seated quickly, no waiting. The food came quick enough. The gluten free waffles are amazing, I added bananas. If you're gluten free def worth a visit. The strawberry crepes and baked apple pancakes were big hits at our table. Service was really great, top notch, highly recommend

Excellent food! Great service! We also loved that they accommodated food allergies - child with egg and tree nut allergies and adult with avocado and pork allergies. We don’t have a gluten allergy but they have a gluten free dedicated fryer (and the fryer was egg and TN free) and gluten free options.

Amazing restaurant! The waitress told us that the owner has celiac, so many items are gluten free or can be made gluten free! I had the fish and chips, which they said are completely GF, and there’s no shared fryer with gluten containing items! The only modification I needed to make was asking to not have the malt vinegar on my plate.

A nice dog friendly casual dining restaurant. Excellent food, fun beverages & a dog menu! I appreciated the sugar free mocha option and the gluten free muffins. The self-serve coffee outside while you wait was very nice. We had to wait 30 minutes longer than quoted for a table but otherwise everything was great.

The waiter assured us that he understood gluten free and that all my daughter’s food would be made without wheat or soy sauce. Well 2 hours after dinner, she had been throwing up continuously. They are over confident in their understanding of gluten allergies- in a way that is dangerous.

Had a great lunch here while visiting La Jolla. Our waiter, Luke, was very knowledgeable about the menu and reassured us that our allergies would be handled appropriately. Gluten free options were somewhat limited but we were all satisfied. Would come again!

Very nice staff, they worked quickly and were super polite. Luckily for me, there was gluten-free pasta, it tasted good and arrived warm, but it wasn't exceptional. Price-performance was right.

Eat Crispy Burger in La Jolla is seriously one of the BEST burger spots I’ve ever been to! The food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the Classic Crispy Chicken Burger, and it was cooked perfectly—super crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The bun was soft and buttery, and the pickles and sauce added the perfect kick. I also tried their fries, and wow—they were hot, crispy, and seasoned just right. I dipped them in the house sauce and couldn’t stop eating them. My friend got the veggie burger and loved it too, so there are great options even if you’re vegetarian. The service was amazing. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and they made sure our food came out quickly and just how we ordered it. They even came by to ask how everything was, which made the whole experience feel extra nice and personal. The atmosphere is fun and laid-back, with a modern design and a clean, comfortable setup. It’s the kind of place that works for almost any situation—hanging out with friends after school, grabbing a meal with your family, or even a chill date night. It’s lively, but not too loud, so it’s easy to talk while you eat. We didn’t need a reservation and were able to walk in and find a table right away. I spent around $15–$20, which felt like a great deal for how good the food was. There are vegetarian options, and you can ask about gluten-free buns if you have dietary needs. Parking was fine—we found a spot in a small lot nearby, and there’s also some street parking. It’s definitely kid-friendly, and the space is wheelchair accessible, with a smooth entrance and enough room to move around comfortably. If you’re ever in La Jolla and craving something crispy, flavorful, and satisfying, you absolutely have to check out Eat Crispy Burger. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Came here while visiting from out of town at the recommendation of family. Was there on a Saturday night, piano entertainment was playing, the ambiance was very New York, the service was outstanding and attentive. I was pleasantly surprised they had gluten free pasta, which was delicious.

I stopped by Zentrl on Wednesday for an early dinner and was not disappointed. My server Abby, was so sweet and took the best care of me. I enjoyed their different menus they had as I could still order from lunch menu while also browsing dinner options. I went with the salmon bowl and loved every bite. For dessert I had the flourless chocolate cake (gluten free!!!) and was over the moon. The patio was great, filled with lots of plants and created a relaxing environment. I would recommend this place!
