I am gluten free and always suspicious of eating anywhere that doesn’t show up on the “FindMe Gluten Free” app. Working in San Diego for a week and a coworker requested that we all eat dinner here. I was resigned to my mental fate of ordering a salad. Much to my surprise and delight, there are plenty of options for gluten free dining at this restaurant and the filet mignon special with a cognac reduction was one of the most delicious steaks I’ve ever had. The up charge for gluten free is higher than many places, but the food is so good that I didn’t mind one bit. Would definitely eat here next time I’m in town.

We had sushi here, the food was amazing. However, the service was tooooo slow, we waited around 40 min between our first and second round of sushi order. They even took 20 minutes to bring gluten free soy sauce and any other little things we requested.
