Server was very knowledgeable about gluten and the menu has several options marked gluten free. When we ordered the tuna dip app after using gluten allergy lingo she interjected and let us know the house made chips weren’t made in a dedicated fryer and asked if that was ok, potentially helped us dodge a bullet there. I had the Gulf Snapper and thought it was really good, my wife had the Wagyu Bolognese and rated it as so-so. But the service was great, our toddler loved the huge fish tank, and I didn’t get sick. Win-win-win.

This place is great!! Gluten free items are marked on the menu. The smoked fish dip and homemade chips are so good. I had the imperial grouper and my son had the chicken. The grouper is fantastic!!! My son didn’t care for the chicken. It was a texture thing for him. Our waitress, Susan, was phenomenal! My son had celiac disease and did not have any reactions.

Went for a birthday dinner, and we had a pleasant time. The waiter wasn’t on top of her allergy knowledge, but it was a pretty busy night. I think she was overwhelmed from the holiday rush. She was more than eager to check with the kitchen on my order and how the food was prepared. The chef confirmed I’d be safe. I had a lovely meal of gulf snapper and chocolate torte. Apparently, all the soy sauce used is gluten free.

I felt that it was pretty safe and everything was fairly clearly marked. Had the prime rib and it was delicious. Very good food and not super “touristy” so the prices were reasonable. Definitely would go again. Not as friendly for GF children though as far as options go.

We had a waiter that was more than happy to answer all of our questions to make sure the meal for my girlfriend that has celiac would be safe to eat. We are very glad we double checked on everything we wanted to order because they have the tuna tartare marked as GF but they use soy sauce in some part of it so it’s not actually gluten free. Other than that it seemed like they were safe and my girlfriend did not have any side effects from eating here.

No issues with the greek salad and grilled shrimp. Beware that the fryer and grill are not dedicated which steered me away from several dishes, including the fish dip. This is not stated on the menu despite the gf markings. The chips are made in the same fryer used to cook my husband’s fish and chips. The chocolate torte was very good.

We had an excellent time here! Food was amazing! My husband and I shared the scallops with Parmesan risotto and the Caribbean Jerk Mahi Mahi. They were both superb and all gluten free as is! For dessert we had the crème brûlée. It was huge and so yummy! No reaction and highly recommend! Service was fine and super fast.

Lovely restaurant with a great atmosphere. GF items were marked in the menu. I had the filet mignon and a caprese salad. Steak was fantastic (that bearnaise sauce!) and service was top notch. While there was a number of entrees and salads to choose from, there were only 2 marked GF appetisers. Would 100% go again.

Absolutely amazing! The menu is clearly labeled and the staff is knowledgeable! As always, make sure to let them know that you are gluten free due to an allergy if you have Celiac, but I had no cross contamination issues and am a celiac myself! You will not be disappointed if you stop to eat here, they even have gluten free desserts.

We ordered online without any notes about my dish being gluten free. I said a little prayer and hoped when I ordered a gf marked item, it would be okay and it was! I ordered the grouper topped with crab and a cream sauce. It is half a day later and I haven’t had a single issue. The food was tasty too!

This was a great family dining experience. We ate here as a totally gluten free family with celiac kids. The fish tank makes this a neat experience. We did wait an hour for dinner as they weren’t take reservations at this time. However, it was very worth the wait. The menu had the gluten free items marked and it wasn’t a limited selection either. Everything was delicious and the celiac kids had no reactions.

Had some GF options. I had the vegetable plate with chicken. It had no flavor that blended well. The beans had a strong vinegar flavor that ruined the dish.

I'm really torn on writing a review of this restaurant because they were so kind and understanding... However, I don't feel that it's completely safe for celiacs. I was diagnosed with celiac a year ago, after numerous serious complications of it going undiagnosed so long. I take cross-contact very seriously and do everything by the book so I haven't been accidentally glutened before. After the great reviews on here, we called ahead before they opened and confirmed that they would be able to accommodate us. We arrived early and spoke with the waiter, who went above and beyond by speaking with the chef about it. There were quite a few items on the menu marked as gluten-free, so I inhaled the delicious calamari and a martini, then ate a yummy salad as part of my meal. The other part of my meal was fried shrimp, which I confirmed was GF. When it arrived, the waiter told me it definitely was safe, and I told him how excited I was to eat it. Then I asked "not to be annoying, but it's a separate fryer and everything???" He paused and admitted that all the gluten-free food is cooked in the same fryer as the regular food. Which means my shrimp weren't safe, nor was the calamari I'd just eaten. His comment was "oh wow- you're really sensitive!" They were nice and took it off the bill, but I was still disheartened that a restaurant that goes so far out of the way to be gluten-free doesn't use separate fryers... I thought I'd be fine the next day, but I feel gross and finally understand what the big deal is. Overall, this place is great for those that are g-free by choice but the fried foods are NOT safe for celiacs.

One of my favorite restaurants! They have a dedicated gluten free menu that includes fried green tomatoes and fried shrimp prepared with a special gluten free batter. The gluten free food is so delicious that I find myself worrying that I did not get the right food. Be careful when ordering from the bar as my celiac mother was served a key lime drink topped with crushed graham crackers that were not gluten free.
