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.

Separate gluten free menu with several options. I had the grilled grouper with cole slaw and smashed potatoes. The grouper was decent, but the sides weren't great. Service was good and they seemed knowledgeable about gluten.

Very safe and knowledgeable staff, my sister can’t have dairy as well as gluten so we got 2 different meals and neither of us got sick. I got the crab dip with celery instead of chips to make it GF and the scallops with coleslaw and green beans. My sister got mahi-mahi with green beans and applesauce but had to ask for no butter, which they easily accommodated. The food wasn’t incredible but the staff was so awesome and I felt safe eating my meal on vacation.

Separate gluten free menu. Sides available included green beans, applesauce, cold slaw(very good), and mashed potatoes. Had the scallops (broiled only option) and they were good. Plenty of other choices I'd say.

The staff accommodated me very well. They have a great gluten free menu with a couple options not listen such as broiled or grilled salmon. Peel and eat shrimp was good.

Ordered blackened mahi mahi, garlic mashed potatoes, and coleslaw. They had a gluten-free menu. Food was delicious and I didn’t get sick.

Yes

Had a separate gf menu. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Enjoyed my scallops, green beans and applesauce.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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.

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!

A fun spot on the water with great food and drink specials. Separate GF menu and server noted GF when he put in my order (it shows on the receipt). GF options are a bit limited compared to the whole menu but still plenty to offer.
