Wow! What a gem of a lunch spot. Visited after a doctor's appointment at UCSF and treated myself to two delicious hand pies. The classic chicken was delicious, the texture and veggie mixture was excellent. The garbanzo bean and curry pie was unique, light and full of flavor.
Had to resist the temptation of trying a sweet pie as well, but I bet they're good! They had vegan options for savory pies and gluten free options for sweet.
I waited 30+ minutes for a salad. I wanted to dine in but I wasted my whole lunch break and was not a happy camper. Apparently the grilled chicken skewers take 30 minutes to cook. I asked for the salad to go and a kind gentleman (maybe the manager?) told me next time to get the sliced gyro chicken and that it would be faster. He also offered me free baklava to try. I ordered the milk pudding as well, which was ok.
That being said... the chicken was delicious. Tender, juicy, great flavor. Only 3 pieces though, for $7. And the Greek salad was $13, which made it nearly $23 total after tax. This was not a $23 salad. Not even CLOSE.
I guess that's just to be expected in the area since it's across from the Chase Center. But I won't lie, I was pretty disappointed with the size of the dish and the time it took. I appreciated the baklava gesture but couldn't eat it (gluten), so I gave it to a co-worker.
4 stars because of yummy chicken and kind gesture from manager, but waaaaay overpriced.
Known for its attentive approach, this spot excels in accommodating dietary needs, making it a standout choice in the city.

As someone with coeliac disease, eating gluten free in SF isn’t as easy as everyone might think. Gott’s however are incredible. As soon as you mention GF, they’ll ask if it’s an allergy. They have GF buns, separate grills and fryers for GF allergen customers. The staff are very knowledgeable and all double check sauces in burgers etc. for GF allergens and recommend alternatives.
My husband also enjoys Gotts as he doesn’t need to compromise and also eat GF.
Gluten free pizza crust here is handmade in Berkeley, frozen, and baked. Not bad. Felt like real pizza. The chef came out to discuss options with me and was super respectful, accommodating, and knew all about separation in the kitchen. The sausage and green olive pizza is delicious. Our group of ten had a wide variety of lunch options and there are enough non-alcoholic drinks for a midday work lunch. Parking below building, MUNI T line a block away, or street parking. It's hard to find located inside the building, up one floor at the back facing the bay. Ask the guard for directions or walk the ramp on the outside to enter from the Bay side. Fresh, healthy food, nice service, although be sure you communicate clearly with wait staff or they may throw out your pricey left overs. Sadly, they are still dark ages and only have one fryer that has gluten. Better places have two separate fryers. So be careful with allergies.

Went to this restaurant for my mother’s 60th birthday and we had a fabulous time. The wait staff was out of this world so helpful, so funny, and knowledgeable about the menu. We had a variety of food from the tartar, soups, to salads! I had the burger, and although they didn’t have gluten-free bread, it had a gluten-free onion ring, which was quite delicious. The desserts were incredible. Their pastry chef truly worked hard, and they also gave a nice dessert for my mother for her birthday. The only reason for the low atmosphere is, I did not think it’s the most attractive looking restaurant the food and service made up for it!
A vibrant spot to relax with a cappuccino while catching a bite, perfect for visitors of the nearby UCSF departments.

So glad to see this former coffee shop which closed during the pandemic, reopened as the fourth “The Venue” in San Francisco. A great place to have breakfast, lunch, or a great cappuccino while waiting for an appointment at one of the many UCSF departments in the building. Try the gluten free bagels!
