They have gf toast but they will not use it to make French toast which is annoying, I don’t eat eggs so my choices for breakfast are super limited to fruit bowl, gf toast and a side of meat.

It was ok… I had hoped that they’d be more aware. I was told the “G” on the menu signified “gluten sensitive” and not necessarily suitable for Celiacs. Ugh.

I ended up with the Kalua Pork and Eggs. They had to take off the crispy onions and also said the potatoes are no longer Celiac safe - so they gave me tomatoes instead.

Overall it was alright. I didn’t get sick. I found the pork a bit greasy and the eggs under done. However, they gave me GF toast from a dedicated toaster.

In the bleak AC gluten free landscape, the place was ok. Just let them know you have Celiac disease from the jump.

Update on menu- the home fries are no longer GF. They’re from a new supplier but they have not changed the menu to reflect that. Thanks to a great server that picked up on that for me and advised me not to get the potatoes.

Truly excellent dinner. Many menu items marked GF. Service was some of the best I’ve ever had anywhere, including much more expensive restaurants.
