Safety Overview

Celiac safety assessment and key features

78%
Good

Dining at Etch is honestly a breath of fresh air for anyone who's tired of holding their breath every time they eat out with celiac. While it's not a dedicated gluten-free facility, the staff’s level of training and communication around allergies is next-level—managers routinely visit the table to explain cross-contact protocols, and servers know their stuff inside and out. Most dishes are made to order and can be modified for gluten safety, with kitchen teams using separate pans or utensils on request (though, heads-up: anything from the fryer is off-limits). The gluten-free rolls are legendary, and you’ll find creative mains like scallops or steak that are just as safe as they are delicious. If you flag your needs in your reservation, you’re treated like family—and, honestly, it’s one of those rare spots where you can finally focus on flavor instead of fear.
