"Cross contamination" is when they prepare items that are supposed to be gluten-free (no wheat, rye, barley) on the same cutting board where they just sliced the bread and left crumbs behind and the crumbs get into the item that should be gluten-free. For a peron with celiac disease, it literally takes just a crumb or two to cause a significant reaction.

Thanks for the link, I'll email them and ask about GF options. The menu looks promising.
