The manager took time to meet with us and discuss what foods were safe from cross contamination and she advised the kitchen so that they would take extra precautions when handling my daughter’s plate of food.

The food was delicious and the the portions were perfect. The manager asked what my daughter liked to eat & made recommendations safe for celiacs that would taste similar. She ordered what the manager recommended & loved the meal she got. She got steamed rock shrimp with garlic mashed potatoes and applesauce; sauce for the shrimp was on the side per the recommendation.

I communicated with the restaurant beforehand since there were no recent gf reviews & they were extremely helpful. I was given a manager’s name to ask for and she was abundantly knowledgeable and helpful. Food was delicious and staff was great.

There is a gluten free menu with quite a few options. I had the scallop plate with broccoli and mashed potatoes. It was delicious! Broccoli was just steamed so I asked for butter which came out as the herbed garlic butter and it was great. They note on the receipt for the kitchen that you are ordering off the GF menu too. There are no gluten free desserts.

I went for dinner and had the salmon broiled with a salad and nothing else. About an hour after I had symptoms of cross contamination and was unwell the following day.

I cannot recommend this for celiacs or folks with gluten allergies. I have celiac disease and I am allergic to gluten. Despite the assurances from the staff, gluten free menu, etc a few bites into my dish I knew that it wasn’t safe. And sure enough within a few minutes I presented with my classic early gluten exposure reaction of intense nausea and vomiting in the bathroom of the restaurant. Major bummer especially on a family vacation… we had boated there as a family, but I was so miserably ill from the gluten exposure I had to Uber back to our accommodation while my family continued on the boat ride.

Unfortunately, this was a major setback for the remaining days of our vacation as my body spiraled into a full blown celiac flare. The staff were very apologetic, they stated everything was “done right” to prevent this from happening— unfortunately my body’s reaction clearly indicated otherwise.

Based on other FMGF reviews I had high hopes for this restaurant, but celiac be warned. It’s not worth ruining the rest of your vacation to gamble on it.

This place is soooo good! Our waitress was very knowledgeable about their gluten free menu and they had a decent amount of gf options. I ordered the happy hour shrimp special and the blackened mahi mahi with the mashed potatoes and green beans. Delicious! The tartar sauce and cocktail sauce are both gluten free also!
