Located inside the playhouse square facility this wine bar is not a location for dining out with gluten-free needs. That being said, if you are looking for a cozy wait until your show starts they have good wines and small bites, g-f is limited to stuffed dates and shrimp cocktail (both of which are quite good), to tide you over.

No gluten free menu, but plenty of delicious options. The employees are always helpful and informative about the options that gluten free, or what can be left out of the entrée to make it gluten free.

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.

Here’s a report from Bette about her experience:
Zach Bruell’s newest restaurant makes a point of accommodating gluten free diners. On my visits, they’ve proudly presented me with grilled gluten free bread and my own serving of olive oil for dipping. The servers are careful to check with the chefs about whether specific items are gluten free, and some items on the menu can be modified (a different sauce, for instance) to be made gluten free.
One caution: On my first visit, the server assured me that a particular desert was safe, and I thoroughly enjoyed it (and had no problem). On my next visit, when I ordered it again, the server told me it had gluten.
If you go, plan to arrive after 7, since this is a popular spot for theater audiences. The place clears out a bit at curtain time.
