This is my first time back to this wonderful restaurant since my celiac diagnosis. The staff was helpful regarding food choices and understood about cross-contamination. They have an “allergy menu” that highlights a range of allergens, and identifies which can be removed or substituted for each dish (some dishes could not be made gf). The food is wonderful; lots of fish and shellfish, but delicious duck and lamb dishes, as well as some vegetarian and vegan options.

Staff is very knowledgeable and able to provide detailed info; allergen menu also lists which menu items can be modified to eliminate major allergens. The food is also delicious. I’ve eaten here several times and never had any issues or concerns.

Waiters are trained very well on a multitude of allergy’s. My waiter was able to explain why each dish contained gluten and how they could change it so i could eat it. I had the ahi tuna and it was so yummy - also couldn’t leave without desert and it was also delicious

Great experience, exceptional food. GF menu, and they get it. There was even a warm flourless chocolate torte for dessert that was soooo good. I had the shrimp entree and it was delicious.

We ordered the scallops and fish stew GF. The hostess was very knowledgeable and helpful. She explained how specific dishes would need to be modified to make them GF. The scallops got their own pan and were not prepared on the grill. The fish stew was already GF. Items came out marked GF. They also have ciders for those interested in alcohol.
