Our group of 4 went here the other day (Sep 12 around 8:30 pm) just for drinks and had a great time! Widest selection of beers (with the largest gluten free menu we'd seen to date!). Our waiter was a gem and answered all the questions we had. Every one of his drink suggestions were a hit with us! We really loved the pumpkinhead ale*- it's a definite must try this fall season. We stayed pretty much until close to closing! Great atmosphere, and well priced drinks. We will be back!

What a Find. Four people, four different breakfasts turned out to be four delicious meals. I must eat gluten free and didn't expect there'd be much for me other than eggs. Surprise, surprise, not only did I find their massive sized gluten free pancakes delicious, my gluten eating family members all agreed. Our server Nancy was super friendly and attentative and the rest of the staff acted like we were old friends. The next time we're in the area we know where we'll go. Do yourself a favor and don't miss the Broken Yolk Cafe.

From the outside looking in it looked very elegant and nice but once inside it's a mass of chatter and some tables even yelling to just have a simple conversation. It's an open atrium, so naturally that allows flying critters to accompany your meal. You could not have a nice quiet dinner. The menu has limited gluten free options but some are available but as with any place the possibility of cross contamination is always a possibility. Our server was very polite and knowledgeable with the menu options. Food was slow to come out but tasted very good.

Luckily we went there early on a weekday, before it was too crowded. Food was awesome. My fiance ordered a Gluten Free pizza and I ordered the chicken piccata. We didn't have to wait very long. Prices were good too. Highly recommend 👌

We stopped in for lunch the day before Thanksgiving and the food and service were outstanding even though they were also dealing with large takeout orders. The crepe florentine (we ordered without meat) was delicious with a lemony hollandaise. The burger, while a simple choice, was juicy and very tasty. Then we got way too many goods to take back from the bakery and a few baguettes. We’ve only sampled a few so far but top notch! Gluten Free - the macaron, carrot cake, crème brûlée, and spring basket are all Gluten Free (as of now, check when you go)!

Consistently solid. Healthy food, lots of options. Usually good service. Acai bowl is Brazilian approved 😂 Celiacs or GF folks do need to be a little careful here, but the servers tend to know what's what.

Great rooftop bar with views of the water. Had the tacos. Salads were the only other gluten free food options. The tacos were pretty large. Frozen alcohol drinks were very yummy.

I don’t know how they do it, but I’ve been to every single açai place in town and this is the ONLY spot with the right consistency. Plus she builds it with such intention and the portion size is just right. PLUS they have gluten free granola. BONUS! Def worth every penny ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A wonderful find in San Diego! The best restaurant we’ve found to date. It brought us right back to our trip to Spain with amazing tapas, wine and full meal options. Great gluten free options and kid friendly. The music on Thursday was fantastic.
