Jillian Veltri

The location is great! Right next to our hotel, within walking distance w gluten-free and vegan options!! The staff was very helpful and friendly. I will definitely be back again. Highly recommend!! Also the acai bowls are AMAZING!!

The marinara for the gnocchi was delicious ! Minus one star because I wish they'd mark menu items vegan/gluten-free so it's less work to order for customers of that diet.

Tara Hudson

Absolutely delicious! I had the butternut squash enchiladas and the chocolate mousse, along with a mocktail. I appreciate a vegan restaurant that has plenty of satisfying gluten free options, which Seabird does. The service was friendly and attentive. Enthusiastically recommended!!

Lily Ford

Amazing gluten free chicken!! This is the only place I’ve found that has gluten free fried chicken it was 10/10. Their fries were also great and they have some really good sauce options.

Deanne Newton

This is my new favorite place. They have organic juices, smoothies using TruVani protein powder (which I love) and amazing bowls. No soy, no corn, no gluten. The macro bowl was fantastic!! Highly recommend!!! Please consider opening one in Redondo Beach - we need something just like this. I would be you biggest fan!

Richard Gonzales

This is our go to place for a few reasons. First, my wife has celiacs so the gluten free pancakes along with the safe handling by the cooks above makes it worth it. Second, the food is perfect no matter what you order. They answer any questions you have and accommodate almost any requests for food prep. Third, the friendliness! The staff are great and remember us even though we may not visit frequently enough to warrant it! If you were just thinking about eating here, do yourself a favor and just go!

Kiandra Hebert, Ph.D.

Enjoyed this place. Great healthy menu. Lot of gluten free options. Nice atmosphere. Sometimes service is a bit off but usually it's fine. You order at the counter and they bring your food out to you.

Susan Paulus

My favorite vegan place to get a burger 🍔 they also have gluten free buns.

Morgan Engel

Finest burger in the area, super nice staff. Not only that, but they offer gluten free and paleo options. I got the classic burger and fries and would definitely recommend both.

Brittany Pattin

My mom and I had an amazing brunch experience. The avocado toast was the best we’ve ever had along with their coffee. Lots of gluten free options too. Our server, Mia was so friendly, kind and attentive! Beautiful and peaceful outdoor patio. I highly recommend this spot!

tina waugh

Omg thank you so much I am celiac and found this wonderful place which is now our weekly place. It’s so difficult finding places that do gluten free and per friendly…..best tacos ever and kindest staff. Definitely our favorite….. x Tina

Daniel Walton

Most underrated spot in Newport/costa mesa area. Their chicken bowl with sesame ginger sauce is borderline life changing. The chicken is clean and always juicy, no chemicals or processed food like some of the chains on 17th. I eat here nearly everyday cuz it’s healthy and helps me hit my macros. They also have the best chocolate chip cookies, better than crumbl. All gluten free too!

Mackenzie Cruz

The food is always so delicious and great quality. It can get busy and crowded at times, and around lunch in weekdays, good luck! But they do a great job being careful about cross contact with food options. I have Celiac and they are careful about gluten free sandwich preparation.

Brian Center

Always a good meal. They have a gluten free menu available on request. It's also fairly easy to eat healthy here.

Daniel Pappas

Amazing food! Got the veggie turkey sandwich with gluten-free bread. Wow, delicious!

I am OBSESSED with the gluten-free brownie, like top 5 of my LIFE. I'm not often in a pizza mood & love veggie-forward dishes so I ordered the 3-dish veggie offering called Farmers Choice for only $16.50. The sweet potato was cooked perfectly and so darn tasty. The broccolini hit the spot. And I was pleasantly surprised by the cauliflower combo of heat and mint.

Bob

Love visiting Breakfast Republic during breakfast hours. Excellent service, delicious food priced reasonably and served in generous portions. Great selection of gluten-free options are available too.

Jen C. Bullington

Great food and really good at accommodating for gluten free eaters.

Esteban Arteaga

Our favorite Pho spot! Especially if you're gluten free or want to eat organic chicken. No MSGs.

Dillon Carlyon

These are really the most finely crafted sandwiches you'll find! Every single one is so amazingly delicious! The gluten free wrap that they use is also very good! They also serve breakfast and coffee! Couldn't recommend it more! The Maddock Melee, the tuna melt, and the Perfect Burger are my favorites.

Tara Silva

Amazing service and super delicious food. I have Celiac so I needed something gluten free and had a delicious GF chicken fettuccine alfredo. My family loved their meals as well. Would highly recommend!

Roberta Wall

My friend and I ordered ribeye steak dinners, baked potatoes and grilled vegetables, and we both loved our dinners! I need to eat gluten free, and they were careful to avoid gluten ingredients and cross-contamination.

Dr. Donna Grogan

xlnt. Has gluten-free buns for burgers so everyone in our group of 8 could all eat good stuff.

Teton Backcountry Rentals Jackson Hole

Friendly and good food! Gluten free bread was great

Tyler Yarborough

Get the lobster fries! Great food & atmosphere. Will definitely be back soon. Gluten free options are excellent.

Carrie Park

Very cute restaurant located at The Camp. Service was great with friendly waitstaff, and the food was yummy. I dined with a friend who is on a strict gluten free diet, and she was happy to find discover that Vitaly had tons of gluten free options on their menu! Looking forward to trying some gelato next time.

matthew piercey

Fun little spot. Good quality ingredients. Not a full service facility but just a great pizza place for a date or to take the kids. Everything is pretty good! Kale salad is bomb by itself or we usually put it on top of the pizza. Gluten free stuff too.

Hannah Jenkins

Love this place! Great staff, food, and so many gluten free options

Melissa Mitchell

This place is great. It's a good place to get some work done. It's spacious with lots of places to sit inside and out. They have charging docs if you need to reup your tech juice. They have some specialty menu items. I personally love the bullet proof that has cacao or the turmeric latte. They have non-dairy milk alternatives which is great. I loooove their gluten free banana bread! They also have some pretty good jams playing in the background and the staff is super friendly.

Sebastian Gonzales

Love it. I eat her once a month. Gluten free options. The plate with rice and salad is stellar. Quick and easy when I’m in a rush

Jeffrey Nessen

This is a fantastic place. The location is convenient to local business, the freeway, the mall and the theater. The food is excellent. They have a wife selection of seafood, including a really bar with daily selection of oysters. There are gluten free options and they are very allergy friendly. Overall I would recommend this place to any seafood lover looking for a nice upscale plane to dine.

Theri Lewis

I'm a gluten free for life person. I like that I can order a la carte, and the food is delicious!

Rion Dalby

Wonderful variety here. Everything they do is great. My gluten free wife loves the Philly cheese steak fries.

Jane Tran

I absolutely love Board & Brew! Fantastic place to grab a quick bite for lunch. I am wheat intolerant and their gluten-free wrap is absolutely perfect. I usually get the chicken club and substitute it with the wrap and get extra sauce. Service is fast and I've never had any issues. Store is always clean with plenty of seating.

Melissa Chelius

The Best new restaurant at South Coast Plaza! Conveniently placed by Macy's Men and Saks Fifth- it's easy to park or Valet and walk in. The food is absolutely sensational. Freshly prepared, well seasoned, and a great variety. Gluten free options are marked on the menu. Wine list is well appointed. There was also a pre fixe menu special when we went as well. Great for lunches or date night!

Tim Farkas

They had a lot of soy sauce free options and most of the topping were naturally gluten free! They had gluten free soy sauce as well! We had the tuna and Octopus 🐙 with brown rice and it was very fresh and tasty! The spicy proteins are off limits because of soy sauce sadly. Overall had a nice experience and the staff was pretty friendly!

Sarah Miller

One of my favorite go-to spots for a comforting and delicious meal! Food is exceptional, staff are always so friendly and kind, and as someone with a lot of food sensitivities, I appreciate the gluten free and dairy free options available. A must-try in the area.

M.I.

Great place to grab a quick healthy meal. Menu has a nice variety of entrees, sides, combos & pastries to choose from, including gluten-free and vegan options. I tend to lean towards the "build your own" salad, however I love their Turkey Melt!!

Jacqueline

We had our wedding rehearsal dinner at Social and it was phenomenal. The head chef, Jeffrey Boullt, crafted a custom 5-course menu for us that fit our guests’ dietary restrictions (some vegan, some gluten free, some allergies, some small children). Every course was beautifully presented and delicious. We were blown away by his talent. Prior to the dinner, we had some preparatory phone calls with Marisa, who gathered all of our details and coordinated all aspects of the evening. She made the process easy, provided a quote to us the same day as our initial phone call, and even went so far as to print our menus with custom designs based on the “vibe” of our wedding - such a thoughtful surprise! We truly appreciated the personalized service from the entire team at Social. It was the perfect venue for our wedding-eve. We will definitely be back!

Right next to the hotel (Ramada). Large menu of Vietnamese dishes. Tasty cuisine and generous portions, a very good option. The only premises open in this center. Not too expensive. Gluten-free are well treated.
