Really good meal! Lots of gluten free options that were helpfully labeled and the staff was super attentive. We ordered the saganaki (flame cooked cheese), dip of the day which was spicy feta, then also shared the village salad and the combination souvlaki with various meat dishes. The portions were generous. The gyros were a little bland and the chicken was somewhat overcooked but the lamb chops were delicious. Great tzatziki!
They did have a 4% surcharge to pay with a card and only a small sign at the entrance about it, so I suggest bringing cash if you have it.

TLDR: specializes in gluten free! very celiac friendly
My celiac friend and I were in town and made sure to scope out all of the restaurants she could eat at. Civico takes gluten free very seriously. Her pasta was delicious and I couldn't even really tell it was gluten free. Our waiter was very kind and even helped out with some wine suggestions.
The bread is my favorite part. As the gluten eating friend, I often miss out on bread because we just don't get it for the table but Civico passes it over in a brown bag which is great for me to take to go but also great for my celiac friend because no stray crumbs will get near her! Yes, thats excessive but, for the serious celiac, it can be an issue.
10/10 highly recommend!

Amazing place. I have celiac and our waitress Jay was very knowledgeable about the items on the menu I could have. She even double checked some for us! The food was AMAZING, and I had the seafood jambalaya and no reaction. 10/10!

Got to go here for a gift and loved all the gluten free options. They even made us gluten free toast.
The meat was so tender and I loved the 3 different 3 ounce steaks with the different toppings. Especially the crab. If we were to splurge again, we would definitely go back. And of course the view is gorgeous.

From the outside looking in it looked very elegant and nice but once inside it's a mass of chatter and some tables even yelling to just have a simple conversation. It's an open atrium, so naturally that allows flying critters to accompany your meal. You could not have a nice quiet dinner. The menu has limited gluten free options but some are available but as with any place the possibility of cross contamination is always a possibility. Our server was very polite and knowledgeable with the menu options. Food was slow to come out but tasted very good.

It was our 21st anniversary so the wife and I decided to go someplace with a nice view that was a bit more expensive FOR US, than normal.
I was a bit annoyed to start when all the parking was taken while the valet spots had many many spots available. I realize it’s only $10 plus tip but when you save for a fancy meal, you should anticipate that. The staff let me know that rarely happens. But it did happen to me.
Once we got to our seats it was worth it. The view is gorgeous. The food was pretty good in that our carne asada was extremely tender. Must’ve been a great cut of meat. Upscale Mexican is not quite the same for me when we live by so many good Mexican places. But for a tourist, I’m sure it’s perfect.
Beyond the view I felt our waiter was the best part of the meal. His name was Matthew. He was patient with us and very helpful with the gluten free items since I have celiac disease. (I didn’t get sick btw)
He was nice and as talkative as we wanted. We never felt rushed and we actually appreciated how he went out of his way to assure us to tarry. Our dessert was nice and the cafe moto coffees were excellent.
If I were a bit more wealthy and not a pastor, we would probably visit even more.

Not many gluten-free options at Oceana. However, if you sit outside on the patio or at the fire pits, there’s usually a shorter wait and you can order from the Moray’s menu, which has a few more GF options. The main GF dish is the Pad Thai, which was excellent. The server was patient and kind, and the kitchen took several precautions for celiac. I felt safe eating here, and the atmosphere was perfect with the ocean in the background.

This poke store has an excellent assortment of poke choices. I have food allergies and the staff was very knowledgeable about what I could and could not have. The only downside is they don’t offer gluten free soy sauce.

Jake, our chef, was amazing tonight! We brought our son Preston for his birthday and Jake mentioned him by name and wished him a happy birthday multiple times during our dinner. Jaden our server was efficient friendly and attentive to detail. There was a member of the other party at our table that has a gluten allergy and both Jake and Jaden went above and beyond to ensure we all had an equally enjoyable experience. Teri checked in with us at the end of our meal to make sure all was well. Overall 10/10 would recommend! Thank you Benihana for making our son’s birthday dinner memorable.

Great atmosphere and menu. I loved the mocktail menu (though they were $$$), the fried rockfish and the summer squash salad. Their fryer is gluten free so celiac guests can enjoy fried fish!
The tuna crudo was not my favorite but I loved the prosciutto wrapped dates. Be aware that their grill is NOT gluten free due to all the delicious sourdough being toasted there so grilled items may be off limits for celiacs. All the servers were very aware of considerations for gluten free diners and I felt very confident in their recommendations. Would definitely return next time I’m in SD!
