I just had an incredibly satisfying lunch at Bossie’s Kitchen, or as my daughter refers to it, the restaurant with a cow on the roof. Prior to dining there, I had emailed the owners to see if they had anything on their menu that could be made gluten-free for a celiac. I was happy to receive word back that there were a variety of safe options:
We do have a gluten-heavy menu, and while not all items can be made gluten-free for celiac, here’s a few that we can do for you:-Proteins: grilled salmon with dill yogurt or rotisserie chicken, without gravy-Salads: kale & quinoa salad, ginger beet and citrus salad, caesar salad (we can make this to order for you, without breadcrumbs)-Soup: generally vegetarian and gluten-free.-Plates: you may combine either protein with any of the salads; roasted market vegetable plate may be served without the pita bread; grilled hamburger without the bun and french fries (there would be cross-contamination in the fryer with our fried chicken, that is dredged in flour)-Nightly Specials: Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday nights we offer the best options for you that are gluten-free. We can substitute quinoa for cous cous on Tuesday’s chicken tajine special, without pita bread; Saturday and Sunday nightly specials do not contain gluten: grilled pork belly with coconut rice; pot roast dinner.
I ended up ordering the grilled salmon with a side of their kale and quinoa salad. I also had a bowl of their split pea coconut curry soup.
The salmon was perfectly cooked with a delicious crispy skin. It went really well with the salad’s roasted vegetables. The soup was unbelievably flavorful. They change up the soup every couple of months, so be sure to stop in before this bowl of yumminess goes away.
gluten-free in sb 
I love that there seems to be a trend now where restaurants are clarifying whether something is celiac safe and not just gluten free
I was definitely pleased that the email response included the knowledge of cross contamination. Sadly, in Santa Barbara, that is not a given.
