Where to Eat Gluten-Free in San Diego - Eater San Diego

"Coral Fodor Strong’s Rolando outpost, Garden Kitchen, has an ever-changing menu of farm-fresh goods, which are made daily from-scratch and according to whatever she can get from the farms she sources. While not an exclusively gluten-free restaurants, a quick scan of the menu reveals that most items are so or can be made to exclude it, like the 8 ounce paprika rubbed flat iron steak with red wine & italian herb sauteed Japanese eggplant, carrot, cherry tomato, zucchini, roasted garlic, green & yellow beans and horseradish cream." - Jackie Bryant

Some of the best food we've had in a long time. It's impressive when a charcuterie board is better than most entrees you've had recently. Everyone at our table tried something different and we were all highly impressed. The chef came out towards the end of the night to ensure everything was the highest quality. One person at our table had what we agreed was the best scallops any of us have had. This is a favorite place of our friends and I'm happy to say it easily lived up to the hype.

Great food, interesting sides,vegetarian and gluten free options. Great local wine list. The chef selects wines from Baja to Temecula. Outdoor seating only under a cover and with heaters available. Street parking only. Well worth a visit even with the limitations.

Totally outstanding experience. Hours are 3-9 Tues-Sat with neighborhood parking. Food is fresh and colorful and absolutely delicious. Menu is constantly changing with new dishes that follow the seasons. Highly recommended - Holly, hostess was nice to speak to and very informative and the owner also went out to greet us and check in and made the meal very welcoming.

This was my husband and I first visit to this restaurant. The food was impeccable, and the ingredients combined in our dishes were genius. This resteraunt is for the true foodie, that truly understand the art of bringing food, color and textures to life.

First visit. My wife and I love veg forward restaurants. This one hit all the marks for food and atmosphere. Cute little garden neighborhood style place with quaint tables/settings. Very friendly staff! A+ there. The menu was well laid out and offered some provocative dining choices with unique ingredients not often seen. We ordered the grilled artichoke covered in seasoned bread crumbs and served on a bed of arugula and a side of grilled meyer lemon. It was cooked very well and pretty good. Next up we got the cheese/meat board. It has 3 cheeses, one of them a winner and two run of the mills as well as some salami with some unexpected supporting cast, like scratch strawberry jam, scratch curry sauce as well as the usual suspects, like seasoned nuts and olives. We were surprised to hear that they roasted their own nuts and created custom seasoning blends in house. This was discovered when the owner/head chef came up to our table to introduce herself and inquire about our meal. Certainly a special moment, for a chef to come and rub elbows with the diners. Last plate was the cheese ravioli with 7hr tomato sauce and side salad with beets. They offered about five dressings for the salad. I suspect that they are all house made. We chose the green garlic. It was very well done. The ravioli were a bit underwhelming and this may have been because the cheese was bland and the sauce was subtle. For 22 bux, the serving size of about 6 or 7 ravioli was far too small for the price. All in all, we were impressed by the skills of the kitchen and thoughtfulness of the plate makings, however we were surprised by the high cost and small serving size. Being this place has been open for 2 years, we thought they would have figured out this balancing act of size VS price dilemma. It challenges many an establishment.

The food is absolutely amazing not only original dishes but you will find organic and all or most ingredients are local when possible. And for beer fans they carry an imperial IPA thats its brewed beautifully. You can't go wrong with this place. Btw service is the best ive had.

I started going to Garden Kitchen for take out food in May 2020 and I am sorry I have not submitted a review sooner. Incredibly fresh ingredients, ever changing menu and always amazing food and wine. Simply great for people who eat vegan, gluten free or are meat lovers that want to consume humanely raised meats and eggs. Chef Coral, Sommelier Megan and host/server/talented jewelry designer Holly are all the best and make you feel like family. Great place to dine, get wine and relax. Recommend you give it a try!
