Much better than expected! The royal red shrimp are amazing and the halibut (special) was perfect. Plenty of naturally gf options.

Daughter had oysters on the half shell & royal reds (shrimp) from their gluten free menu. When we explained to our waitress that our daughter has celiac & requiring gf, the waitress said she was also celiac & completely understood! Daughter had a delicious meal & tried oysters for the very first time & loved them! The service from the hostesses & waitress was fantastic. Loved the ambience of the restaurant. Delicious food, great time! Loved this restaurant!!

I’ve been here a couple times with no issues. I got very sick my most recent visit. I requested the gluten free menu, ordered from it and specifically requested that the waitress notate that I need a gluten free meal, and it still was messed up. The salad had croutons and had to be corrected. The steak tasted great, but I was skeptical that they possibly put a sauce over it. I didn’t even make it out of the restaurant before getting sick. Eat here with caution.

Overall the food was a bit pricy for the quality, it was good not great. The half shell salad and the Argentinian royal red shrimp were the best of what we ordered. It was very nice that there is a separate gluten free menu. My party ordered online and had it to-go, so quality could have been decreased because we did not eat in the restaurant.

They have a dedicated gluten-free menu and the waiter was very aware and patient. I had the red snapper grilled, with asparagus and a side salad. All of it was delicious!

The restaurant has a separate and limited gluten-free menu. The food was good, however. I am not sure about the possibility of cross-contamination.

Nice little place. Service was good and helpful. Not many GF options. I had oysters on the half shell and boiled royal red shrimp. They both were just ok. Not as tasty as I was hoping

it was nice they said the chef can make pretty much anything gluten free on the menu. However it was so overpriced and my shrimp was cooked to death/ no flavor. I guess I should just be happy I didn’t get sick but I’d rather have spent the money on something that would have taste good and filled me up for that price.

There are not a lot of choices for gluten free. I got the Royal Reds shrimp and I swear they were the best shrimp I've EVER had. I was thrilled.
