Loved the food, atmosphere, and our server Zack was amazing! I am gluten free and Zack was very knowledgeable and reassured me that he would take every precaution to ensure my meal was gluten free. We got the ahi tuna crudo, butter leaf salad, and catch of the day which all had excellent summer flavors and were the perfect portion sizes. Definitely recommend.

I'm not used to eating at Gluten free restaurants, but this place had some surprising dishes. First off, wasn't too excited to be going here in the first place. Not much looked appealing. Ordered the salmon. And I was pleasantly surprised. It was very tasty. Also had this Kung pow cauliflower appetizer (I hate cauliflower) that was so delicious. Wow, so good! Overall, it was a great experience.

The ribeye is excellent. My wife likes the Bolognese. She says the gluten-free pasta is very good.

The general manager is gentlemen named Alfredo. He most kind, hard working, very accommodating, and incredibly helpful. The service is very good, I arrived earlier than anticipated so i ordered a glass of red wine and the Happy hour cheese burger no bun (celiac). After serving me they had second thoughts about the fries and sent me a baked potato instead. Flattered by their consideration! I highly recommend this restaurant.

Since visiting Oaxaca many years ago, I have yet to experience such incredible moles and foods. Truly one of the best meala I've had in Santa Barbara. The drinks, entrees, and dishes are rich, complex, bright, acidic and perfectly spiced. The moles are gluten free and there were many vegetarian options as well. Took my partner there for his birthday and were blown away by the incredible service and taste.

$85 for dinner for 2 without drinks. The food here was amazing. They helped me pick and make gluten free selections. Our waitress, Gabriella, was one of the coolest humans we've ever met. 5 stars all around. I don't have anything bad to say. Come eat here.

Although I'm giving this 5 stars, the inside noise level is too loud and the french fries really need some improvement. Service was definitely good and I appreciate the staff being familiar with gluten issues.
