Fager's Island

I gave it 3 stars because I’ve always loved this restaurant’s atmosphere and they take a lot of precaution to make sure your food is safe. They have a GF menu, but only a few options and no buns.

Sadly very unimpressed. Atmosphere was great but they didn’t have anything labeled and the waitress didn’t know anything about what had gluten or didn’t. She told me the Thai noodle salad was gluten free and then it came out with fried wontons all over it. Returned the meal and didn’t order anything else because it didn’t feel safe.

There is a gluten-free menu. The bay view makes for a nice dining experience. Check their website as they also have live entertainment (bands/djs some evenings.

Very few things on the gluten free menu. I ordered the shrimp cocktail because I thought it would pose the least risk. I told the waitress about a gluten allergy. The shrimp was fine, but the cocktail sauce came on a plate with regular crackers. I told the waitress and she brought back lays potato chips instead which was nice. I didn’t get sick but I was soo limited in my options and I didn’t feel it was understood or communicated to the kitchen about my need for gluten free.

I found the Allergy Menu to be more helpful than the separate and smaller Gluten Free Menu. Played it safe and went with the steamed lobster, baked potato and steamed veggie. Very expensive but safe. Service was SLOW. Husband’s drink was poorly made - had to send it back twice to get a simple gin and tonic right.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

When I asked if there was a gluten free menu, they brought me out an Allergen menu that had a few menu items listed with various allergens they contained (seafood, nuts, gluten, dairy, etc.). This menu was extremely limited and the waiter didn’t seem to know anything about the gluten free options. I ended up ordering the MD crab soup and a salad. Not very filling but it was still good. Giving it 3 starts because I loved the atmosphere and the drinks were amazing. Stayed at the bar until it closed.

Very very few gluten free options. Of the ones listed, some of them weren’t even currently available.

Other Characteristics

• Good with other allergies

They accommodate well here. Server was knowledgeable - just ask them what they can do for you on the menu. It isn’t extensive but there are several good options. Delicious food!

The waitress I had was super knowledgeable and since I have other allergies, she brought me their appergy binder to look through. I was super impressed by the level of detail and knowledge of cross contamination. You will have no food safety issues here.

TBH the menu is limited, especially if you have other restrictions, but I'm still giving this place five stars because what they do they do super well. The food I had was delicious and well prepared. The service was impeccable.

I wouldn't recommend for vegetarians or children, but for adults who enjoy (raw) oysters and wine, it is super nice. The restaurant itself is beautiful and has a relaxed attitude. My husband and I just hung out at the bar afterwards for a while we enjoyed it so much.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I ate here last night for dinner and had no issues! I have celiac disease and also need to limit my fat intake as well. Our waitress was super accommodating and made sure that he kitchen complied with my gluten free and low fat requests (sauce on the side, no butter etc).

They have a decent gluten free menu, and while it says no substitutions on the bottom, I was able to substitute sides with no issue. They also have a disclaimer saying that their dishes are cooked in “separate vessels” in the oven in order to avoid cc. I ordered the swordfish with a chili lime butter sauce on the side and a plain baked potato. The meal also came with some plain mixed greens and coleslaw. The only reason I’m giving it four stars instead of five is that I wish it would have come with a fresh vegetable for the price.

The service was excellent, I had no issues, and view was spectacular!

The fine dining part of the restaurant has special menu which marks allergens. I was able to eat safely.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Server was great and knew what to do for celiac. The menu was not labeled but he took time to explain to me what they could do and I ended up ordering a caprese salad and steak with mashed potatoes. Felt fine after and would definitely try them again!

My favorite place on vacation!! They understood what celiac disease is and how important it is to not be CC. It was a beautiful view and fun environment and night out and I was able to eat without a single worry! I got the swordfish salad with avocado, tomato, and cucumbers with balsamic dressing as my appetizer and I got the broiled swordfish as my main meal with green beans on the side. Best meal and I would go back to this place everyday if I could!!

They have a separate gluten free menu now. They can broil certain fish (I remember swordfish and salmon) separately, and their salad dressings are gluten free as well.

I had the broiled swordfish and a salad with avocado and it was yummy!

Plus the view is great!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I was very disappointed with this place. There was no gf menu or even an allergen list. The waiter new the few things I could eat, but it was so limited. Couldn't even have a baked potato because they are kept warm along side bread. How ridiculous!! What I had was only okay. The view, though, was outrageous. I could not recommend this place to any celiac.

A lot of things went wrong at this restaurant. The waiting staff has to better trained. They didn't know at first where to find the allergy menu and when I finally got one and ordered my food ,my steak came out and was lying on top of a piece of bread.

Celiac friendly?

No

No GF menu, but they do have an allergen list for menu items that include gluten, dairy, & soy. Knowledgeable staff, good service, and excellent food! Definitely took care of my celiac needs.

They have a GF menu but, it is limited. I had the fish special of the day (rockfish) with a baked potato and veggies. I am dairy free also so my selections are limited. Food was great. Staff was knowledgable!
