If you find yourself at University Hospitals, check out the Wolfgang Puck Express. While there was no gluten free menu, the cashier read from a list of items that could be prepared gluten free including Rotisserie Chicken, Salmon, Butternut Squash Soup, and Mashed Potatoes. I enjoyed the very fresh Greek Salad with Chicken ($10). The cashier said that allergy orders are prepared in a separate area of the kitchen.

Thanks for this news, Dan:
I ate at the Winking Lizard in Avon on Tuesday night. They normally have Redbridge Beer and was surprised to hear that they substituted it for a beer called Omission from the Widmer Brothers Brewing Company in Oregon. I can attest that it is the best tasting “GF” beer I’ve ever had, and had no reaction (I am celiac).
Omission Beer is made with barley, like traditional beer. But the brewers say they have found a way to remove the gluten and leave the taste. Each batch is tested for the presence of gluten. Have you tried Omission Beer? What is your favorite gluten free beer?
4/21/14 NOTE by Diane: At this time gluten removed beers are not considered safe for people with celiac disease. See this report by Tricia Thompson, the Gluten Free Watchdog.

Server was extremely knowledgeable and if unsure about an ingredient, went immediately to kitchen to confirm. She also explained that my food would be prepared in a separate part of the kitchen and checked by the manager. There were two of the salad dressings that were gf, and all but one side were naturally gf-and that one (lobster mashed potatoes) could be made gf upon request. The food was excellent and well-prepared. A bit pricey, but well worth it. One of my better dining out experiences since being diagnosed with celiac last fall. I highly recommend this restaurant.
The restaurant does not have a gluten free menu. Have you tried it? Please add a comment about your experience.

Thanks, Bette, for sharing your experience:
Located on the CSU campus, Elements is a popular lunch spot. Unfortunately, there is almost nothing on the menu that is naturally gluten free. Some of the salads can be made safe with omissions and substitutions, but choice is extremely limited. The knowledge level of the servers, and their attention to detail, is quite variable. Some are wonderful, others are either clueless or careless. On one occasion I was assured the salad dressing was safe, but got quite sick after eating it—now I bring my own.
