I am celiac and I eat here regularly. I enjoyed the crab, the salads, and the créme Brulee. They take precautions to avoid cross-contamination when I advise of my allergy. Last time I came with a group, the appetizer wasn't gf, but I said I didn't need to eat any of it when the group wanted to order it. So somehow the server thought we didn't order it. Alas. I'd give five stars if the Happy Hour Menu had one gluten free item, such as stuffed avocado or baked nachos with meat and toppings.

The food here is SO good! It was super easy to eat gluten free too, everything is marked on the menu for different allergens. The poutine with rice instead of fries (fries aren't gf), was one of the best dishes I've had in a long time! We'll totally be back. Everyone almost licked their plates the food was so tasty. Also, the service was excellent. The food came out quickly, and our server was perfectly attentive.

I walked in because they have gf pizza, but you do have to get a small 10in pizza or bigger. It's such a treat for me to have pizza because i have to seek out gluten free. The staff is kind and they told me the restaurant has been there over 34 years. I liked the crispy crust. I tried the Salt Creek pizza. I wasn't sure clams on pizza would work but it wasn't fishy at all.

Beautiful location. Outdoor fire pit. Grilled meats and seafood. We split a humongous salad. The lettuce was a tad wilted but the salad was good, overall. The garlic fries are insanely good. Tons of garlic. Thin cut and crispy. I had the hangar steak. I did send it back for being too well done but the second one was perfectly medium rare. My tablemate had the cheeseburger. That was spot on. The portions were ample, service is top-notch. Lots of gluten free items. Too full to try dessert.

I had the pleasure of dining at Bourbon Steak Orange County back in June of 2022 for my Birthday during a vacation to California. This was the most amazing experience at a restaurant in my life. The food was excellent, the service was fantastic and it truly made you feel special. Sure it is pricy, but it is definitely a "you get what you pay for" type of deal. My wife is Gluten Free by choice, not allergy, and they were more than accommodating, pointing out specific dishes to steer clear of. I have mentioned this restaurant many many times since being back home. Joking even to fly back out to California solely for visiting this restaurant. If you are even at all hesitant about visiting Bourbon Steak, please don't hesitate and you will not regret it.

Stoked to finally try this place! We had * baked burrata. The bread is so soft and fluffy it melts in your mouth. And then you add sauce that is so full of flavor and melted burrata….oh my goodness🤤 * cauliflower truffle gnocchimmis Everyone that is avoiding gluten is looking for that something that makes you feel like you aren’t missing out. This gives you that. Suppe yummy to dip in every sauce you can think of. * penne pancetta w parmesan cream sauce. This was my FAVORITE! Perfect balance of creamy with the saltiness of the pancetta but in a sauce that was light and bursting with flavor not heavy or overpowering all in a cast iron that kept it roasty toasty the whole time we ate it😍 The bf had a blueberry mojito that was also delish. Can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu. Homeslice is a home run all the way 🌟

When ever we are at the Dana Point Harbor we make sure to stop for a cup of coffee. They have a huge selection of coffee drinks and among my favorites is Cafe Borgia. Within the last couple of years, they have even added some gluten free treats like brownies. Nice touch! They also have a variety of milk alternatives.

Great place for a group. We had dinner for my wife with 12 people, after a few people ducked out it went down to 9. They were very accommodating. The server was super cool and helpful, helping everyone figure out the best drinks and keeping everyone moving along. I had the meatloaf and it was legit with the bacon inside. Other had the burger, scallops, Fish, fried chicken and everyone was so full and happy with their food. They gave Jaime a free Chocolate Mouse, since she can't have gluten, and she was talking about it for days.

I placed my order tonight with one pizza being gluten-free for myself. I immediately gotta call letting me know that the meatballs on my pizza were not gluten-free. He suggested I substitute one of the other meats. A lot of times these are just kids working there, and it was great to know that they are watching out for their customers, not just making pizzas!

I got this for pick up and we went through the drive-through the other day I was in the drive-through was really slow because it is made to order which I do appreciate but also was a bit bit of a bummer because it took about 30 minutes. Especially during the busy hour because it goes on a PCH, which is kind of a pain. But the food is very good. I just wish they wouldn’t add soy sauce to their chicken because it makes it not gluten-free and for those that are gluten-free it’s bummer you can’t have the chicken here because it’s so good.
