Plank's Tavern on the Water

We ate here last night and had the trout, a steak, and oysters with the best ever mignonette sauce (honey dew melon) Everything that came with the trout was GF except the way the Brussel sprouts were cooked so chef sautéed them instead of flash fried them. Everything with the steak (it was a special) was GF. They were great with cross contamination the only downside is the menu isn’t marked with anything GF so you have to ask but they do have written that most things can be made GF. Had a mezcal with pineapple juice that was gf. Everything was great, trout was cooked to perfection. Steak was a smidge over cooked but had amazing flavor.

They say they are friendly to the "gluten sensitive", and they did ask the kitchen about whether menu items are appropriate and whether I needed them to be careful about cross contamination. However, clearly the kitchen doesn't know what is going on. My quinoa came full of either farro or wheatberries. When I rather patiently explained that they had served me gluten, they did not offer to remove the meal charge or even attempt to apologize. Thumbs down.

Celiac friendly?

No

Review says they have a gluten free menu and they do not. Waitress didn't really know what was gluten free but she did go get answers but took a long time for her to come back. The food was good but not great for the price and service was very slow

Good food and the staff understands GF.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten Free menu - including GF buns, GF bread & GF crackers so you can experience most of the appetizers. I ordered the Kale Salad and Orange Mustard Salmon medium rare and it was delicious! The manager Paul is very accommodating because he, too, has a gluten allergy. He came out to my table to explain that they change gloves and use a different prep area as well as different utensils to eliminate chances of cross contamination. Our dinner was completed with an amazing GF flourless chocolate cake. I plan on visiting St. Joseph's again, if only to dine again at this restaurant.

Definitely a nice experience and a beautiful view on the water. Jazlyn was a wonderful waitress and was very efficient and courteous in her service. Highly recommended!
