Review of Iron Whale

I was hesitant after seeing the mixed reviews here but so glad we went for it.

All the food was fantastic (blistered shishitos, broiled oysters, two varieties of fish tacos) and I was very impressed with how they handled allergies. I didn’t actually start by telling my server specifically I had an allergy or celiac, but asked whether the oyster appetizer could be made without breadcrumbs. He said yes and asked if I needed everything gluten free. For the whole meal, each server noted which items were gluten free when they put them down and said flagged for gluten allergy - they went the extra mile without me even needing to ask.

Great cocktails too. Know that they are happy to modify items as well as tell you what’s already GF.
