Really great gf pulled pork sandwich.

Eclectic menu. Husband had the rib eye dinner which was very good. I had lentil soup which was also good. Wish they would add gluten free pasta to their menu.

Awesome food and service. They have full separate gluten free, vegan, and vegetarian menus!

Bradley Talley

Fantastic food with great vegetarian and vegan dishes, with gluten free and vegan deserts. There is a little bit of a wait, but the food is worth it.

If you can eat gluten, Dobra is the best. Unfortunately it is not safe for celiac families. Only a couple of items on their menu have gluten and maybe one day they will become one of the hottest gluten free establishments in Ashland. But for now I will stay home dreaming about their reishi tonics and fresh healthy food. The service is amazing. The servers are super helpful and friendly and communicate clearly about gluten contamination risk~ (pretty safe for very minor intolerances, but steer clear if you have serious gluten reactions). The vibes here are fabulous. I used to be a regular here before discovering how much gluten I was being exposed to. I still give this place a positive review because some people can eat gluten without damaging their bodies and I sincerely hope they get to enjoy Dobra Tea.

Absolutely delicious gluten free vegan What She's Having. I was blown away by how good it was! Husband had the French Kiss and loved it too.

I won’t go back. A year ago, the service was warm and genuine, the food was quite tasty, and it was easy to get gluten-free items. This time, I was met with scorn when I asked whether the GF pizza crust was safe for someone with a severe gluten allergy, the service was fake-nice, and the risotto was inedible (rice still raw in the middle, poor flavor profile, and a truly amazing dose of hot pepper flakes, which felt punitive. And I love hot food. Only upside: husband’s standard pizza was decent.

Not truly gluten-free!! NOT prepared/cooked separately from other dishes!! We went here last night because my son’s girlfriend is highly gluten-intolerant and Caldera has several gluten-free dishes that are supposed to not only have gluten-free ingredients but also be prepared/cooked separately from gluten foods, to avoid cross-contamination. Not so last night. Just 15 minutes after finishing her meal, my son’s girlfriend was doubled over in pain, feeling like thousands of tiny knives were stabbing her belly - which was so hard/distended she couldn’t zip her super-stretch jeans (at all). Her pain worsened and lasted all night, w/ no relief, and she’s still suffering the effects today. Granted it was a Friday night, but not half as busy as the other 2 Friday nights I tried eating here. There was no waitlist, there were empty tables and booths and only a handful of patrons at the bar. But there is no excuse for causing someone this much pain, especially when claiming to be gluten-free, and certainly not at $21 for a 2-1/2 inch (no exaggeration) piece of salmon. My son and I, blessed to be gluten-tolerant, each ordered a pizza, he the meat and I the margherita, both of which were horribly soggy and undercooked. His was literally raw in the middle and had to be sent back. My “crust” was completely limp and saturated in tomato juice. Starving, I ate it anyway (w/ a fork) without complaint or comment card, however, when my son’s girlfriend had her gluten reaction soon after leaving, I had to call and speak w/ the manager on duty. I was clearly upset and clearly explained the situation, but he offered nothing to help make it right. He did apologize and assured me that they do take gluten seriously, but that obviously wasn’t our experience, so please er on the side of caution if you’re gluten-intolerant, especially if they’re busy!! (We, however, won’t be risking it again.)
