Great stuffed mushrooms,mussels, oyster, and bucket of shrimp. It may not be marked GF but we talked to the wait staff and they knew the ingredients.

Review
Delicious!! I had the Ruben special with gluten free penne pasta and it was sooo good. They were very accommodating and knowledgeable. They cook the gf pasta in its own (non contaminated) water. The menu doesn't mention they have gf pasta so you need to ask for it explicitly. My celiac sister got the cioppino and it was also gf and delicious. Well priced and the service was very nice :)
Note: careful of the rice pilaf-- it has orzo pasta in it and is NOT gf.

I had the gluten free penne pasta! When I asked about gf pasta sauces and everything my waitress went and asked because she wasn’t sure but the manager and chefs were very knowledgeable and educated her! It was very yummy and a great dinner!

I’m a careful celiac, so asked at the front desk. They spoke to the chef, who is one of the owners. The server was also able to confirm which of my choices would be the safest. I ate the grilled salmon and veggies and they subbed the rice (which they said wasn’t safe) for a side salad. Could’ve also eaten GF pasta or fish tacos. We ate outside. No tummy issues and was happy with the food and service was first rate.
