Though the allergy menu is not accurate, i.e. it said the shrimp scampi was gluten free when it contains a seasoning that has gluten in it, I am leaving this review because of how helpful the waitress and chef were. Elise went back and forth between me and Chef Dennis and helped me figure out what I could and couldn't eat. Although there are literally only a couple of things on the menu that I could eat, the fact that they were so nice and helpful and turned a potentially disappointing experience into a pleasant one earns them 3 stars for me. It would have been 4 if the allergy menu was accurate.
No
My salmon and loaded baked potato were incredible. However, it took an hour to get our food. I don’t know if that’s a fluke or no.
Also, it is so hard to navigate the allergen menu. It would be nice if they could label on menu.

Notify waitress about allergies and gf, "ask chef to prevent cross contamination". I ask for specific meals specify specifics: no onions no garlic no soy no eggs (anything I can't have can't be on the grill. My meal is: Broiled Trout with no seasoning, or snow crab, baked plain potato (no butter, only canola oil on the side), orange slices on the side. No salad

Haven’t had an issues after eating. I do only order the endless shrimp. I get the scampi and grilled skewer. They do have an online allergen menu though. All wait staff seem to understand what the allergy is and never seem to frustrated about it.

I clearly stated no gluten or dairy. My salad came out with croutons. Waitress was not knowledgeable and did not seem to take my intolerances seriously when i ordered. No gf menu except they hand you an allergy guide to go through.

We have always gone to Red Lobster for my dad's birthday and this time was the 1st time I couldn't eat gluten. Our server was knowledgeable and anything he was unsure about he was willing to find out for me. Red Lobster also has an interactive online menu with potential allergens in there most common dishes, which I had looked through ahead of time. Of course with most non-dedicated establishments, they state there's always a risk for cross- contamination. I got a special of garlic butter crab legs that come on a bed of crispy potatoes. I also got a side salad w/ ranch and the server assured me that that there would be no croutons on my salad. Everything tasted great and I had no symptoms.
