It is an amazing place with words that can't describe it. You'll need to try when in the area. The owner came out and had a few good laughs with our family and really enjoyed the experience. My wife and I are on a gluten free diet at the moment and had a great menu to ease our minds on what we can order. Everyone was very helpful and caring. Must stop! God bless.

Found this lil gem on my gluten free app. I enjoyed my meal and the music. The staff was knowledgeable about gluten free and best part was I had a vegan meal with lots of flavor and immunity shot. I love Morro Bay and can’t wait to try the buckwheat pancakes.

This is hands down our favorite date night spot. The atmosphere is relaxing yet classy, the service is excellent, and the food is fantastic. The staff are all incredibly kind and helpful, and they are always willing to check items for my gluten allergy . Since most everything is made in-house, there are no hidden ingredients. And the food NEVER disappoints! Their specials are fantastic, so be sure to ask! I keep hoping they'll bring back that salmon polenta special....

This is a delicious lil gem you must try! I am completely gluten free & 1 thing I really miss is the ease of ordering Asian foods out, but there is gluten in regular soy sauce. I've dreamed of a place to get good stir fry or ramen & even marinated poke...gf friends this is the place! You can even have the ramen here w/a simple sub of forbidden rice ramen noodles in place of the regular noodle & everything else is made w/tamari & regular gluten lovers you won't even notice the difference. I'm taking a vegan friend here today & I've been dreaming of it since I last went. Please support, everything is incredible!

I never write reviews but I felt as though Justin from round table deserved a 5 star! I am super sick at home in bed and was craving some pizza! I ordered myself a pizza and when it came it was different than what I had ordered. Since it was gluten free and delivery it ended up being around $35 so I figured I’d call and see if I could get new one that was made correct or figure out a solution. Justin was more than accommodating, he was kind and his customer service was outstanding. We found a solution and I felt heard and validated when it came to the order being wrong. So although I called with a complaint, I left the phone being a happy customer. Thanks Justin!

This waterfront dining spot offers a laid-back beach town vibe with expansive windows framing views of the water and Morro Rock, creating a serene setting for those seeking gluten-free options. While the atmosphere is inviting and nostalgic, guests with gluten sensitivities should be aware that despite accommodating substitutions and efforts to cater to Celiac diets, cross-contamination risks exist. The experience blends scenic beauty with attentive service, but gluten-free diners may find the environment less than fully safe due to shared food preparation and serving practices.

We made reservations to be there for sunset, but we were only the second group in the whole restaurant, so it was probably not necessary. Of the dozens of open tables, we were seated right next to the only other group. We were so close that I couldn't even pull my chair out enough to get in and had to sit away from the window. Service was friendly, but not responsive to my need for a clean water glass when I found a black something floating in my water. I also asked about some dietary needs when I called ahead and felt okay ordering a salad without anything on it. Others in my group enjoyed pasta, chowder, caesar salad, burger, and they all said food was good. My Cobb salad, ordered specifically for a vegan with at wheat allergy, without chicken, bacon, bleu cheese or shredded cheese, hardboiled egg, and a request with vinaigrette on the side and no croutons or bread, came to the table on the same try as gluten foods. I looked all over the plate, and the salad looked okay, no crumbs or evidence of other foods on my plate or salad. But, I was more than half way through eating it when I found a chunk of breaded and deep fried something. I spit out the bite in my mouth, kept spitting and wished I had clean water to rinse my mouth with. The rest of the salad was taken away without any concern over why I quit eating, why I had to spit out my dinner or inquiry about how I enjoyed dinner. So, even if the hostess says they can make food allergy safe, they can't. I thought it was worth a try, but I'm expecting to be sick the next few days from being glutened. I tried to email the restaurant, but there isn't an email on their website, so I'm stuck leaving this review.
