Review of Bernie's Beach Bar

Dedicated fryer, all sorts of fried seafood. They also make it dairy free. Waitstaff understand CC b/c when I said I’m also DF, they asked if I’d be ok that GF mozzarella sticks were cooked in the same fryer. They also double checked the ingredients in a mixed drink for me and brought me the can to read rather than deciding themselves. They have light and fluffy gluten free onion rings too!

I’m here for a weekend (though don’t live too far away) and I want to eat every meal here. Amazing ocean view. Only downside is it’s a little pricey but it’s worth it for a GF fryer!

They do have a warning on their GF menu that they are not a dedicated facility and can’t guarantee no CC. It’s very clearly something their lawyers made them add (and I am one, so I get it) as they seemed very CC cautious.

How confident are you that this establishment takes safety precautions against cross-contact?
