Urban Plates
Gluten-free items are clearly marked on the menu and staff are generally described as knowledgeable about allergen needs.
Per-allergen evidence
Gluten-free items are clearly marked on the menu and staff are generally described as knowledgeable about allergen needs. But this is not a dedicated gluten-free kitchen and the venue's own disclaimer says it may not be safe for coeliac disease. One coeliac diner at the Irvine location reported their child got sick mid-meal. A review from another branch confirms fries share oil with wheat-containing items. Check the fryer setup at Irvine before ordering. Call ahead to discuss cross-contamination if you're highly sensitive.
