Very cool environment, great service, delicious food & beer. Love that there are gluten free options and items are marked on menu. Definitely recommend going! 👌

Upon entering for dinner my party of four were immediately greeted and sat. The lighting was dim, there was still some Christmas decor up. There were families and couples. The staff were neatly dressed to match and very kind and attentive. Our drinks came immediately. There were Thai Iced Teas everywhere but I opted for a hot green tea. I saw the Esarn Classic had a meat choice of “Crying Tiger” (marinated steak) which I always get at any Thai place that offers it. It’s my favorite. But I also love duck. Both dishes are more common at restaurants in SoCal than places in Washington state so I have to take advantage. Someone in my party got the Crying Tiger which I tried and recommend. I added a photo of that dish as well. I ordered the “Duck Three Ways” which I couldn’t find on the online menu to add to this review, unfortunately. But it was divine. It is a gluten free dish that comes with three sauces: a spicy lemon-grass, sweet chili, and tamarind. They were all so flavorful and amazing. The duck was on the bone but abundantly meaty. The skin was crispy and salty while the inside was slightly tough but juicy. The vegetables were bright and added great color and texture. Each sauce complimented the duck so well. The spicy lemongrass (see photo top left) was my favorite. I loaded the pulp on and could put that on pork, steak, chicken, or fish; anything. The sweet chili (top middle) was made in house similar to the bottled but the flavor was more intense the sauce was also less dense and gelatinous which I preferred. The tamarind reminded me of the plum sauce I would normally get with duck just more tang and less floral. It was slightly sweet and what I would compare more to a variation of hoisin. If it had more garlic I might have taken it home with me. But I actually enjoyed it more with the vegetables. Aside from parking, my experience was definitely satisfying and complete. I recommend this place.

Came here for dinner with friends and it was delicious! Tiramisu was amazing. The crust was good and it’s made on a pizza oven so. Some friends ordered their pasta and said it was good; there’s egg pasta options too. Just when we thought there wasn’t any Parmesan cheese, a lady came with the biggest bowl with ever seen and served us! They have gluten free options (both pasta and pizza) and even dairy free/vegan cheese options for pizza- which is a great option for lactose intolerant people. Only complaint is that they only had like one bathroom and it took forever for us to use it.

We made a reservation for a family bday gathering and appreciated the thoughtful pre-dining service. Our outdoor seating location was beautiful with incredible views & comfortable seating. Ketch has fantastic house brews & a great assortment of beverages. We selected Ketch due to ease of parking, gorgeous location, kids menu & gluten free options. We didn’t “ketch” happy hour, but it’s epic! Service was swift and courteous; however, a few items were overlooked. Side of potatoes ordered but not delivered. Kids meals were missing whipped cream & a side of fruit & it took a 9 year old to point it out. Oopsie! Food was decent, but there were mixed reviews. - Skirt steak was well done instead of medium rare. They replaced the meal but still disappointing - The birthday “boy” ordered a short rib sandwich, and it was reportedly mushy, luke warm & lacking flavor. Fries were a mix of perfectly cooked & underdone - A poke bowl made “gluten free” means no farro (not sub rice, etc) & no sauce (they don’t offer tamari or any kind of gluten free sauce & no sriracha) - breakfast burrito was good but needed salt, which seemed to be a regular theme - Brussels sprouts are BOMB!!! Surf & turf dip was pretty yummy too - Fruit side was delicious fresh melon & pineapple - Delicious 🤤 unexpected free dessert for the bday “boy” with a candle Enjoy this spot tremendously & hope they can pick I the slack where they’re sliding. Wishing our experience was a 5 instead of a 3.5/4, but family & ambiance made up for it! ❤️

Excellent vegan fast food, many gluten-free options and a knowledgeable staff. Dedicated fryer for gluten-free food items for my celiac baddies. Gluten-free bun tastes gluten free, but that's what you get.

Brenda Frauenhoff

This is a nice place to go for breakfast. I love the atmosphere! I'm gluten-free, and they have quite a few options. I ordered shrimp and grits, and it was very good. They did a little bit of their own take on the dish, adding in some corn on top, which I could have done without, but it was very tasty. My husband had pancakes, which were good. You do have to pay extra for syrup. They put powdered sugar on the pancakes. My husband ordered the pancakes without the powdered sugar, but it came with it anyway. Our waitress Kassi was very attentive and gave us the perfect amount of attention. It's an uplifting atmosphere. A great way to start the morning!

Connie Merrill

The staff were friendly and new exactly what precautions needed to be followed when I told them I had celiac disease. The menu has items that are marked as Gluten free or can be made Gluten free. Great atmosphere and yummy food!

Dale Huntington

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.

Delicious Affordable Gluten Free Pizza within Walking Distance of the Beach? Slay All Day ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Seriously Some of the Best Pizza Ever

Laura Hill

Outstanding food and able (and very willing) to accommodate gluten-free needs. Our waiter was friendly, knowledgeable, and had fun interacting with our little 9-month-old grandson. Beautifully decorated - especially for the Christmas holidays.

Ben Sager

Gluten free items were clearly marked. Got the steak and eggs. Was very happy with the options. Server was very helpful.

Janet Denney

Wish they had more gluten free options. But my salad was lovely

jesse

Just a really good place, with really good food and drinks. Gluten free options, cocktail variety, good vibes.

Jen Pardi-Cusick

Best food & service I've had in an airport (or any quick service place) in a long time. Brenda V knew the menu well, helped me find something gluten free, and was very sweet in pulling out an allergen list to make sure I had a safe choice! Also, the food was way better than I was expecting! If you're in the airport, go here.

Elyz P

Cute. Cozy. Local cafe serving Cuban coffee and pastries like guava cheese danishes, Cuban pie and even gluten free. They have Cafe con leche that tastes just like they do it in Miami (I’ve never been to Cuba). Great location in old Ocean Beach. I walked over after shopping at Target. Desserts are so yummy and look pretty too.

mary hendrickson

Food was delicious and service first rate. One of our party has celiac disease. They handled this easily with their gluten free menu. Can't wait to go back!

Justin Bell

Great dessert and treat spot right in the San Diego international airport. Very cute stand and the service was on point. They have a bunch of gluten free options which was an unexpected surprise. They had a cheesecake, lemon bar, coconut Macaroon, a couple of different cookies that were all gluten free. Great treats at the end of our vacation. Wish I took photos.

Jennifer Hale

This place is a vibe. The music caters well to all age. Expansive views and delicious meals, this restaurant encapsulates the best parts of San Diego. Usually a restaurant with this tier of views ends up sacrificing the quality of its food, but Coasterra does not. Having Celiac, I often fear eating out bc of gluten exposure. However Erika B was our server and she saved me from ordering an item that WAS MARKED GF! She knew how it was made and advised against ordering and suggested another dish that was delicious. Girl knows what’s up and also made the experience extra special. Highly recommend this spot and hopefully you have the pleasure of dining with Erika as your server!

Consistently fantastic food, drinks & service! We have never been disappointed dinning & drinking at the bar. Ultimate bonus for me is the gluten free bun!

Diana Stocker

Best chai tea and love the gluten free food options!

J Skid

Union Alliance Companies always enjoys entertaining clients at OB Noodle House Bar 1502... Ask for Keegan. She knows the menu well for Gluten-free and Celiac dining.

Ryan Poertner

Food was delicious. They even had a gluten free menu. Although not exclusively gluten free, it was nice knowing they will do their best to take care of your meal! I had the skinny margarita and it was fabulous. Highly recommend.

Liz Cortes

Dairy free and gluten free options make me so happy! Just make sure you add plastic wear so you don’t have to eat with your hands at the bay. I get Tuna Nicoise sub creamy tarragon dressing and my husband gets the Chipotle Chicken salad. We’ve been coming here since the restaurant first opened.

Charity P

Is it overpriced? Yes. But for heaven sakes, it's an airport! ALL food options are overpriced. At least Qdoba offers some fresh, yummy, nutritious, gluten friendly (not celiac) choices. The burrito bowl is by far the best, as it's super customizable, you get way more than what can fit in a tortilla, it's not messy to eat, and most importantly when flying, it's filling without being heavy or "lavatory" inducing.

Kelly Sidlinger

I just moved here from Kansas City so I’ve been spoiled with good BBQ. I didn’t think I’d find BBQ up to my standards here but I was wrong. PS their gluten free buns are the BEST I’ve ever had.

Zina Padgett

First time customer. Service was friendly and very helpful. The food was delicious. There was gluten free option's. The gluten free pasta was delicious. The sauce was delicious. The ravioli was incredible delicious and creamy. Perfect combination 👌

Jesse Zmuda

We had a lovely girls dinner on Saturday night. Outstanding service and food was delicious! I went gluten free and did steak and did not disappoint. The other shared pizza and pasta and loved everything

Been2 All50

Great restaurant. It’s been a landmark on Shelter Island for decades. I love the atmosphere inside, huge lodge poles, Timbers, teak floors, and lots of glass with awesome views of San Diego Bay and the downtown skyline. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. It was our anniversary so they gave us a free dessert. The main course was very good, as were the mai tais . My only complaint was that there wasn’t a lot of gluten free choices and my wife is gluten intolerant. But excellent nevertheless.

Sarah Lefrancois

Excellent cocktails and fantastic food! Gluten free options available.

Luna Active Fitness Mats

Great treats - I am gluten free and they have several gluten free options including macarons. The gelato is fresh and delicious toon!

Lindsay Grizzard

So bummed Saffron closed and this took its place. saffron was my go to and always accommodated celiac needs but Asian Kitchen said they didn’t accommodate. Like… it wouldn’t be that hard. Server didn’t even know what celiac was

Crista Nelson

This store actually has gluten free drinks.

Kate Huddleston

Super tiny roadside cafe at Sunset Cliffs. Breakfast and lunch served. Menu is health conscious with many vegan, gluten free etc choices. Some outdoor seating. Friendly staff. Overall good experience. Restroom is through kitchen, which is kinda weird, but not a biggie.

Joshua Utley

Good grocery selection. Lots of gluten free options. Fast and friendly service.

Tamara Sparby

Good gluten free pizza. Sign up and get a discount on your first order. Save points for discounts.

Earth Explorer

Nice Ramen place in the heart of Ocean Beach on Newport Avenue. I recommend getting any one of the bowls and then adding a couple extra toppings. The seaweed is wonderful and you can substitute the noodles so that they are gluten free. The ambience and decor are nice.

alex p

Tasty gluten free wrap with super tasty chipotle chicken.

Kaitlynn Marks

Richie was amazing! The dancing was so fun!! We love the shakes and the gluten free menu!!!!

Darrin Costantini

Great food! Great drinks! Great View! They worked with us to make their birria tacos gluten- and dairy-free to accommodate one of us. And the wahoo tacos were amazing!

Stephen Fixter

I think 3.5 would be a more accurate rating. I enjoyed the parpadelle with braised lamb and was pleased by the flavor and generous portion of lamb "ragu" to pasta. It was a hearty meal. My other dining companions found their meals only so-so. My wife really enjoyed the warm duck breast salad. They also have gluten-free pasta. The wine is reasonably priced for average quality. The staff are excellent. Overall, it is a homely, simple Italian restaurant with good food and is reasonably priced.

Nicole Williams

This is a small business open in its current location for app. 9 years. The atmosphere is homey and comfortable which matches the home cooked feeling of the food. The food is high quality and delicious! The owner, Kathy, is friendly and a highlight of the experience. There are gluten-free options and the menu is able to be modified based on allergies or preference. I highly recommend!

Stacy Kelsey

Super delicious and they said any of the spicy ones are gluten free!

Margaret Campbell

What a wonderful evening 3/24! Our meal was out of this world and your attention to me as a Celiac was very much appreciated. The shrimp/sea bass dish was delicious and the Cauliflower soup, superb.

Jenn L

Adorable, locally owned cafe with excellent coffee and food! The owners also run the Wine Pub next door. There a lots of gluten free and vegan options with fresh and healthy ingredients. The gluten free bread is one of the best I’ve had and the bacon is amazing. The patio is cute and cozy and there are space heaters.

Caroline A. Rander - Realtor

My friend and I had a fantastic time at this outdoor coffee shop! She introduced me to it as one of her favorite spots for açaí bowls and coffee and I can see why! I had the pitaya bowl with protein powder and it was delicious. The honey cinnamon latte was perfect. I love that they offer gluten- and dairy-free options. A perfect spot to relax and enjoy great food and coffee!

Camille jankowski

Great atmosphere. Multiple gluten free options. Drinks were delicious and loud enough where kids can be kids but not so loud that you can't have a conversation.

Tom Whelan

I devoured my peach and burrata open faced sandwich so fast I forgot to take a photo but it was a gorgeous plate of deliciousness and I'm so grateful for the gluten free bread they carry.

Toni Corbett

Oggis accommodated my celiac needs with a fantastic gluten free cheese pizza one night and a fantastic fish taco dinner the second night. Both meals were delicious and the chef made accommodations to meet my needs. I could not recommend Them more highly for the wonderful service and care they took to ensure that my dining experience was top notch. Best meals that I have had in years

Jolene Theresa

We stopped by to watch the sunset with dinner. The calamari was heavily breaded but easy to crunch off if you don't like that. We ordered the lobster mac and cheese, a poke bowl and a gluten free burger. Everything was delicious and exactly as expected. Our celiac friend enjoyed her meal including unbreaded fries. The gf bread is standard and doubtfully made in house but she said it was fine.

Jenn D

My son and I came here by accident. So happy we did. It was a fun place, every single room had a different theme. It was fun, retro, and all the staff were amazing! The names of the food on the menu will give you a giggle, but the taste of it will make your taste buds and belly happy. If we ever get back there we will definitely go to wat there again. They also have vegan, gluten free, and dairy free options which is wonderful for me! While you wait take a walk around or go play in the arcade.
