Following the advice of a friend, reading the reviews, and above all seeing the long queue... We decided to go in🥰 Open kitchen, very busy evening and yet they served us quickly I had an exceptional fish taco (gluten-free).

I’ve been here 20-30 times. This restaurant is being mismanaged. It used to be great. But now, hit or miss. Menu displays GF symbol prominently and I am gluten free. Awesome! But lately the wait staff often says they’re out of GF bread. Kinda puts a damper on the GF mussels when there’s no bread to sop up the sauce. Last night, the waiter said they were out of GF bread, but then he said he looked and they had some. It wasn’t the yummy flat bread from the last time I was there, but it was something. Makes me wonder if they’re actually out when they say they’re out? The waiter was able to find some after he’d been told there was none. My father ordered a glass of Merlot. The waiter came back saying they didn’t have merlot by the glass. I tried to order beef stroganoff with GF pasta. But they were out of GF pasta. GF pasta is shelf stable. This is just mismanagement. Don’t have a menu that offers GF dishes if you’re not prepared to serve them gluten free. It’s also insane to be unable to order a glass of merlot. C’mon…you’re better than this.

Rec'd an email w/a coupon for a free meal to celebrate my birthday. Since I've developed a gluten intolerance, instead of anything w/tortillas I ordered a California Bowl w/grilled salmon and quinoa instead of rice. Added salsa from the bar. OMG! It was to die for! Esp. because it for was a hot day. Can hardly wait to return and get another one. Also, the manager is always so nice and welcoming and remembers my name at the Encinitas store. Great inside and to-do service!
