Delaney House

I went to a bridal shower here for a friend and they had a buffet style pre-set brunch menu. I didn’t want to make a big fuss but obviously had to figure out if I could eat safely!!

The caterer assigned to the party, Zee, was so kind and made sure to double check with the kitchen that there was safe food for me to have. I could eat everything at the buffet except the waffles and they made me a separate eggs benedict in the kitchen with no English muffin. I felt very reassured and taken care of and I had 0 gluten reaction!! Definitely a good spot with caring staff :)

I have gone here several times. The food is great. Items are listed gluten free on the menu. They have gluten free bread!!! This is very hard to come by. Their clam chowder is gf too and delicious!! I usually get the steak meal that has blue cheese with it-I cannot remember the name but it is the best thing ever. The last time I got it the steak was melting in my mouth. It’s extremely delicious. There are vegetarian options here too! They have a gluten free vegetarian chicken Marsala. Definitely recommend coming here.

This is a fantastic restaurant with fabulous food. There is a separate Gluten-free menu with very appetizing items including New England Clam Chowder. One of the best establishments for gluten-free I have found in this area. No attitude, friendly staff.

Knowledgable and accommodating staff with delicious options. I can never find g free clam chowder and theirs is amazing!!!

We ate there twice. First time having clam chowder in a year and half. Wow was it good!! Cocktails are pricey but good.

While a formal gluten-free menu has been a recent addition, this one-off white-tablecloth restaurant and banquet facility has always accommodated gluten-free patrons by making adjustment to some of their broad selection of entrees. No, this is not a dedicated gluten-free facility; few fine dining establishments would be able to operate under those restrictions--nor should they. But more than reasonable accommodation works for me. Before I had to go gluten free, I was an extremely adventuresome diner; Delaney's grill menu [they also have an informal pub, called The Mick] allows me the kind of free choice that has restored my delight in dining out, once again. Their specialty is aged beef, but the other menu choices are so broad as to make choosing difficult. Last night, I had roast duck with garlic green beans and a butternut risotto that was so amazing, it has become one of the top five food experiences of my life. If you're traveling through New England, call Delaney House and make a reservation for the grill rooms. You won't be disappointed.
