King Crab House

Tonight I was invited out to dinner with my family. I didn't check the restaurant on the app until after we were already there, and based on the one other review on this app, I was very nervous. Particularly as it was restaurant week, which typically means restaurants are much busier. However, I had a wonderful experience tonight. Our server, Robert, assured me that they would be able to accommodate both mine and my cousin's gluten allergy.

My cousin mentioned that he wasn't going to go with the restaurant week menu since none of the dessert options were gluten free. Robert suggested that if he wanted two appetizers, they could still give him the restaurant week menu at the discounted price. Which worked out very well for my cousin. He was able to get both mussles and shrimp for the appetizer course and the bagged fish boil dish as his entree. I decided not to do the price, fix menu, and went with the Alaskan halibut with the lemon and caper sauce with broccoli as my side dish, which was excellent.

It's been a couple hours since we've eaten and I have had zero reactions, so I'm feeling pretty good about what I ate tonight. They lose one star for not having a gluten-free menu, or listing any reference to allergies on their standard menu.

Other Characteristics

• Good for dinner

I ordered the Spring Menu and let the server know I have a severe gluten allergy. It didn’t seem like a place that would understand Celiac. I stayed away from anything I know to have gluten- crab cakes, potatoes in case they fry them, the Cajun seafood boils, calamari, clam chowder, Caesar salad,

I ordered shrimp cocktail to start and a 1lb of King crab legs with steamed broccoli. I had barely finished eating when I got really nauseous. I haven’t been glutened that severely since before my diagnosis last July.

They do not have a gluten free menu and do not understand what contains gluten. I guess you may be safe if you have something grilled but I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant for celiacs.
