Ordered the mahi mahi off the GF menu and it came with the crab cake. This had me worried because I had read previous reviews saying that the meal didn't come with the crab cake because it wasn't GF. I asked three people about it before eating and they all assured me it was GF and that the cook had changed what he used and that it was definitely GF. So I unfortunately ate it. Then at the end of the night our waitress asked us if we wanted dessert and told me they had gf carrot cake (not that I had asked or showed any interest in it). I didn't know when I would have an opportunity to have gf carrot cake again so I got it to go and and unfortunately ate it later on. I woke up the next morning completely sick - ended up having to go to the ER even. After calling the restaurant back the day I was sick they in fact told us the crab cake and carrot cake were both NOT GLUTEN FREE. DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE - you don't want to get sick!! I can't stress it enough! What a disappointment for a place that says they are celiac friendly and even has a gf menu!!! Don't take the risk!!!!!!!
