Took my husband here for a special occasion and the food was just okay. We ordered middle necks and shrimp cocktail to start, and the clams were extremely small and looked like they were cut in half to spread between two shells. Same for shrimp, very small. The entrees were just mediocre. $187 later and we were so disappointed.

I am celiac. I went here along with my dad, who is allergic to shellfish, and the rest of our family. The day we went they were absolutely slammed with customers. I had the feeling that our server was not usually a server but was filling in. She was neither helpful nor knowledgeable with allergies and not willing to ask the kitchen for clarification on any items on which we were unsure. I ordered a salad, since I was nervous about the ability of the server to communicate regarding celiac disease. I was fine. My dad ordered sliders and was very sick all night, perhaps from the accompanying chips. Although the menu is very well labeled for celiac, and the food was truly enjoyed by all, I really cannot recommend this restaurant for those with food allergies

Ate inside upstairs. Very limited gluten free items. They substitute items. Menu says pasta but give rice instead. View was great but disappointed in menu.

They are knowledgeable about GF but for the price the meal was not great. I had the fillet mignon, baked potato and asparagus. Potato was not fully cooked, the steak was tough and hard to cut and not tasty and the asparagus was bland. I expect much more for a $40 meal.

The menu identifies GF offerings and the staff is very helpful in explaining what additional items can be made GF. The chef is sensitive and will try to adjust anything possible. The food is excellent and the wine list is relatively extensive.

Very accommodating to my wife (celiac). Waiter pointed out some GF options first, and brought us a GF menu when we asked.

The food was great, and the service was amazing. When my wife told him she has celiac, he checked with the chef for everything he brought to the table.

There are not tons of options, but all gluten free dishes are listed on the menu. The wait staff was very informed, attentive, and accommodating. My lobster tail and shrimp were fresh and delicious! Great view and ambience too! I'd go back again!

Amazing food and view. Lots of Gluten free options. Look for the "g" next to items and let them know you want it gluten free. Little pricy but worth it!
