So good!! I am celiac which means I am gluten-free and I must also avoid cross contamination. This restaurant not only served me fries from a dedicated fryer, but I also enjoyed the crispiest, most delicious roasted chicken I have had in a long time. Cashier was knowledgeable about celiac, and they changed their gloves and everything while preparing my meal. Also, good prices compared to other restaurants in the area. Wonderful! Would definitely recommend not just for celiacs but anyone who wants a delicious meal.

Gf Pasta is cooked in the same water as regular pasta- it is NOT safe for those with Celiac Disease. We asked the server who doubled checked with the chef. They refused to separate. Do NOT recommend. Why even have Gf pasta. Zero stars if I could for service. The restaurant looks cute if you don’t have dietary restrictions, but if you have any medical issues with food I would avoid.

Wow, one of the best pieces of fish I have had in a long time. I love that this restaurant marks the menu for what can be gluten-free. I had the Furikaki pan seared ahi with double veggies - no rice. The meal was perfect, and our server was amazing. After a day of snorkeling, it was just what I needed. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone.

I love this little booth at the farmer’s market! I am celiac and their amazing mochi waffles are safe for me to eat!! The texture and flavor of the mochi waffles are perfect. Not too chewy, not too flat, just right!! I love their mac nut and banana topping which is beautifully presented with an edible flower! My dad loves the sourdough waffle with fresh berries. They have a vegan/gf which we have not tried. I really appreciate how friendly and conscientious the staff is. They all take care and exude aloha!!

I can't say enough how great everything I at Cinnamon's. Very friendly service, great plating and food. Although most foods had some gluten component, they were very accommodating and easily adapted the Eggs Benedict with Smoked Salmon to be gluten free. It was the best Benedict I've had in years.

It was so nice to be out and be served by enthusiastic staff sharing space with others. It feels like it has been forever since we have done so. We have been to Formaggios several times and always enjoyed our experience,thus decided to return. Menu and wine list are severely curtailed but the remaining selections are interesting and well prepared. The Caesar was really yummy and ahi extremely well prepared. In light of great unknowns (how many diners, rules of the day, available supplies, how to staff, etc) we greatly appreciate their efforts to provide a good dining experience. You go out for noise, fellowship, excitement and good food. These days it's about good food and interacting with someone other than your spouse. Mission accomplished! We gave them a 4 star because I am a gluten-free eater and there were few options. I should have called the day before, know they would have been able to modify several items. Will be sure to do so when we return.

If you're in Kailua and looking for a breakfast experience that combines the best of local flavors and classic breakfast fare, Moke's Bread & Breakfast should be on your radar. Nestled in the heart of Kailua, this cozy establishment offers a delightful and homely atmosphere that makes you feel like part of the 'ohana (family) as soon as you walk in. The star attraction here is undoubtedly the lilikoi pancakes—fluffy, buttery pancakes topped with a bright, tangy passionfruit sauce that will make you question why you ever settled for plain old maple syrup. If pancakes aren't your thing, fret not; the menu offers a wide range of choices, from hearty omelettes packed with local ingredients to the satisfying loco moco. Portion sizes are generous, ensuring that you won't leave hungry. The freshness of the ingredients is evident in every bite, and it's clear that the kitchen pays attention to detail. Vegetarians and gluten-free diners will also find options here, making it a versatile choice for groups. Service is another area where Moke's shines. Staff are warm and welcoming, making the experience feel more like a family gathering than a restaurant visit. Even during busy periods, they manage to keep things moving efficiently while maintaining their friendly demeanor. That being said, the popularity of Moke's can also be a drawback. Wait times, especially on weekends or holidays, can be quite long, so be prepared for that. While the restaurant has done its best to create a cozy atmosphere, the dining space is relatively small, and it can get noisy when full. Overall, Moke's Bread & Breakfast provides a satisfying and authentically Hawaiian dining experience. Despite the potential for long waits and a crowded dining area, the outstanding food and exceptional service make it a must-visit when you're in Kailua.

The selection of sustainably sourced, nutritious food at Uahi Island Grill is amazing! Their menu is an invitation to explore, take you time, all of their dishes are spectacular. One of my favorites is the red fish curry with the papaya salad on top and their haupia (coconut) sweet potato gluten free cake, delicious! Uahi Island Grill is also a community supporter! A very big Mahalo nui loa to the generous staff of Uahi Island Grill from the Cast & Crew of A Sunday Morning... from our ohana to yours - the very best wishes for the Festive Season and the New Year...

We were here December 2021, a random stop-by as we were driving around Oahu. My wife is celiac and needed a gluten-free lunch; the person at the counter really didn't know what gluten-free meant, but she was able to work with my wife to figure out what on their menu had wheat and what didn't, and through this the counter person figured out an excellent lunch (a piece of ahi and a side dish that I don't recall) that my wife really enjoyed. And I had the garlic chicken, which was fantastic. Great little place! I'm so glad we found it, and kudos to the counter person that day, she was SO helpful and she knew the food and the menu. Great job!
