There weren’t a ton of options on the menu that could be made gluten free, but most of the fresh seafood entrees were and it was delicious. The popcorn ice cream dessert was delicious!

Scales staff was extremely accommodating and polite. They were able to make a majority of their menu gluten free and avoid cross contamination. They make most of their own sauces in house and are able to avoid gluten during preparation. The scallops, seafood, and raw bar items are incredible. I highly recommend!

We walked in on a Friday night in February and had one of the best meals. Waiter was knowledgeable about celiacs and able to give me lots of options. Make sure to have the Butterscotch pudding and Carmel corn for dessert. Great ambience, excellent service, and delicious food!

Food was incredible and felt really safe eating here. Great options across starters, mains, and desserts. They didn’t have a separate menu but the waiter knew exactly what would work for me. He checked with the kitchen every time and they noted celiac when they brought out my items to the table. Slightly pricier but worth it - good ambiance, excellent food and a great experience

Amazing! Has pear salad, pot roast, and blueberry custard. I could have chosen from 80% of the menu. Very well versed waitress on allergens and no cross contamination. Lovely place.

Amazing food! Almost all of the entrees are GF and even some of the desserts are as well!! Highly recommend (a bit $$)! I got the Halibut and it was wonderful! All of the servers know about celiac and are well trained with allergies.

Wow did I have just a wonderful experience here. Plenty and plenty of options that are or can be made GF. Sadly no GF fryer but life goes on. Halibut & cod were outstanding. No GF labels on the menu but the waiter was fully prepared to walk me through the options and reminded me not to eat certain items that came to the table did non celiac folks which I always appreciate. They also have more than one GF dessert!!!! The Baked Alaska is GF! Amazing! Please go here you’ll be happy and safe.

Review
The server was extremely knowledgeable about which menu items were GF and she even knew what wasn't safe due to cross-contact. Additionally, there was a good selection of GF food and beverage items. There were even a few GF dessert choices!
