Review of Salt Island Fish and Beer

I was excited, after reading several reviews of this place, to have a seemingly safe option near the beach. On our last vacation, we had to pack lunches for the beach. We arrived soon after opening and still had to wait for a table for almost 20 minutes (without all tables being full). The gluten free menu is one of the paper menus with GF indicated on the applicable options. While our server was knowledgeable and said that the kitchen has a protocol and takes many precautions to remain safe, he was a little too enthusiastic with his disclaimer about a shared kitchen. While my family member who is sensitive, symptomatic Celiac was pleased with a poke bowl, the rest of us were underwhelmed. It was an extremely expensive lunch, two of us hated the taste of our meals and the portions were reasonable-to-small. I had the brisket sandwich which tasted strange, was dry and the gf bun was terrible. I literally fed 95% of it as leftovers to my dogs. The side salad (since the fryer is shared) did have a nice vinaigrette. Our one who ordered the greek meatballs somehow expected something very different and didn't eat at all. Her meal also came out with bread. The server asked if he could just remove it and we confirmed it had to be remade.
