Went for a fancy dinner here with my husband. The server was quite knowledgeable and went out of her way to check everything with the kitchen. The food was really good, though probably not worth the outrageous cost.

They have an allergy binder with notes on what is and is not gluten free! Food is great. The items they listed as gluten free when I visited were: oysters, green salad, Gull Valley tomatoes, red lentil hummus (with substitutions), coal roasted eggplant, Arctic char, and duck confit. I had the fish and game board with modifications (the blue cheese is GF, the crackers are not but the restaurant has gluten free crackers). Most desserts were gluten free with modifications although not advertised as such. Generally great experience and the server was very accommodating and double checked everything with the kitchen. She even was careful to set gluten dishes down as far away as possible from my food.

Gave us gluten dishes by mistake (twice). We had to ask a few times for them to verify it’s with gluten.
