Delicious food and an amazing view. Expensive, but worth it to eat here once on our week long stay. I thoroughly enjoyed my braised short ribs and our waiter Michael was very nice. I wouldn’t trust the gluten free bread personally, as the toaster is right where they cut the regular bread and cross contamination looks probable. Not sure where they cut the gf bread and if gloves were changed, so I declined it.

Very romantic atmosphere. Items were marked clearly but were also very expensive. Stuff was very attentive to my allergy and brought GF toasted bread. I had the Island Mushroom Risotto. Is was delicious but would have been better as a side to the seabass or scallops maybe. Just not a large GF selection for the main course. Dessert though was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend tbd cheesecake!! There's no crust so it's GF and the absolute best!

Small amount of GF options but they did have GF bread for the table which was perfectly toasted in a separate toaster. Our server mentioned they would be happy to make any accommodations to the menu which was nice. Risotto was delicious as was the GF cheesecake.

Limited gf options but wait staff seemed willing to accommodate many modifications. It was tough to watch the rest of my group enjoy rustic crusted bread. I noticed a gf toaster on way to bathrooms and asked server later who then offered to bring gf bread. EVOO and balsamic at a table. Had the scallops without gnocchi. Gnocchi made with ulu ( breadfruit ) but was not surprisingly gf. They subbed fingerling potatoes and it was an exquisite dish. Very zen atmosphere. Ocean views.

Gluten free marked in restaurant menu. The food was expensive and only “ok” for both friend and I. You are paying for the beautiful experience and not so much the food.
