Spoke with our waitress about what could be made gluten free. I had salmon and rice but still got sick. I feel like it was probably cross contamination. Disappointed because other reviews were so good.

Excellent! The chef comes out and speaks with you. They have an allergy kit, use separate everything in the kitchen and the chef really tries hard accommodate whatever you want! I had fried shrimp!

The Chef is VERY knowledgeable and passionate about offering a safe place to eat for folks with allergies/have celiac disease. My son has Celiac and is extremely sensitive. He ate a bun less burger with fries. He was full and happy at the end without any reaction. As stated in other posts, the chef care out to not only take our order but reassure us that he’s knowledgeable and we could trust him to make a special meal for our little. Go visit chef Jameel. He’ll make this experience a memorable one for you.

Chef came over and asked what my Celiac son would like, and then made him gluten free fish tacos. No reaction so definitely a safe bet.

Food was delicious! Our waiter was so much fun! He brought the “party” to our table! The chef came to the table and was so helpful and accommodating. The view was so fun and relaxing. We didn’t want to hurry through, because it was fun, relaxing, beautiful, and delicious. It was a fantastic experience!

The chef came out and talked with my daughter to create a meal especially for her. He then hand delivered her meal when it was ready. She was also able to get French fries from their dedicated fryer. I was impressed by the level of care shown towards my daughter.

$$$ $20-$40 a plate for fabulous GF food. Chef came to table to be clear about allergy and communicated to waitstaff and kitchen. Good seafood.

Child had hot dogs without a bun because he doesn’t like grilled chicken.

I've been here a few times. The kids like to see the fish and it's fun. Every time I've had an excellent experience. The chef comes out and goes over options. The chef cold my meal and carries it directly to my place.

If you are celiac, this is THE PLACE TO EAT!!! As soon as we told the server we were celiacs, he didn't take our order, but sent the chef to our table. Chef not only explain how substitutions could be make for ANY dish we wanted (we are gluten/dairy free), but also told us about all the allergy/special diets training he's been thru. He's also training all kitchen personal in many restaurants to be able to accommodate celiacs and other special diets. Food was delicious, service excellent, no traces of gluten were found when I tested my food. Chef even took all the info about my gluten tester and said he would order one right away to be able to be 100% sure their practices where safe for even the most sensitive clients (not that they need to, because they're doing a great job already).

Once I informed the waiter I had food allergies, he sent the chef to my table to discuss modifications and take my order. The chef was knowledgeable and willing to modify any dish to accommodate my Celiac disease and my shellfish allergy. I felt very safe eating here.
