Here are the responses I received. Thanks all!
The Slanted Door in the Ferry Building is the most knowledgeable restaurant
I've ever come across in regards to gluten. Every time I go, the servers are
very helpful and I feel completely safe from cross-contamination.
I had a gluten free meal at E & O Trading Company at 314 Sutter Street. They
actually have a wheat free menu that I adapted to GF. It was excellent.
I was there a bit over a year ago and got an excellent meal at Millenium
<http://www.millenniumrestaurant.com/>. Great upscale vegetarian, without
any attitude about their food. In the same general neighborhood is a Westfield
shopping mall. Choices there are Out the Door
<http://westfield.com/sanfrancisco/ourstores/details/out-the-door-29155.html
>, good SE Asian fusion for a reasonable price, and Cocoa Bella
>Chocolates
<http://westfield.com/sanfrancisco/ourstores/details/cocoa-bella-chocolates-
29139.html>, with a wide variety of artisanal (expensive!) chocolates,
scrumptious hot chocolate, etc. I'm sure there are others, but these are the
ones that I still remember from that trip. All three were knowledgeable about
their ingredients and willing to accommodate.
Most nice restaurants in SF can accommodate the diet. Cafe Gratitude is GF
except the beer, Chipolte- everything is GF except the tortilla (we get bowls),
Chevy's has a GF menu- just have to ask, I've eaten @ the Slanted Door,
Boulevard, Hayes St. Grill, Ruth Chris Steak House all without a problem. Many
Bay Area restaurants are now becoming used to this request.
There is a large support group there that you can find by googling "celiac
support groups California"
If you've got kids, I found if I called Rainforest Cafe near Fisherman's Wharf,
they are so darned accommodating that they offered (if I let them know what
day and time I'd be there) to go out and buy a potato to make me a plain
baked potato, and they made my steak in a separate oven/grill, away from all
other food. I wrote to corporate ahead of time (and afterwards), and the chef
from Rainforest called me...and had my email printed out.
I also have eaten at the fish restaurants on the wharf where Alioto's is and a
one upstairs on Pier 39????--the one with the shops. When I went out there
for conventions (annually, for years), I had some success at Lori's Diners for
breakfast...really depends on the staff. If you find a good Lori's, stick with it.
They're all over the place, even at the airports and malls.
I go to Max's Deli's...all I get is a plate of corned beef and pastrami and their
trio of potato salad, cole slaw and forgot what else...cucumber salad?
I've been told that you can get a carb-free burger, wrapped in lettuce at In
and Out Burgers, but the occasion hasn't occurred...in all the years we've
gone out there.
