This was our first vacation since being diagnosed. Sea Ranch was amazing! They do not have a specific GF menu, but the wait staff and chef were amazing. They made substitutions and were very good at checking the things we ordered. When they brought food to the take they were very careful to make be sure it was current and that all gluten items were separated and not near our plates. Totally recommend!!!

If you ask about a gluten free menu, they will tell you that anything broiled, blackened or grilled is gluten free. I ordered grilled shrimp and steak skewers and a baked potato and it was delicious. One of the soups was also gluten free. Bottom line: delicious but very expensive food. Not sure how careful they are in the kitchen.

I love this place. They are always so helpful with the GF options. I have had the filet a few times, make sure they don't put the onion ring on top. I love the Pirate Dan's. The staff here is very knowledgeable and will let you know what you can or can't eat. We have been there in a group with both GF and lactose issues and no one had any issues. The specials are my favorite, ask if they can be adapted to GF. I eat here 6 or 7 times a year with no issues. Don't forget the Crème Brulee for desert!

Ordered the beef and shrimp kabobs. I was told the rice pilaf that it came with wasn’t GF. Kabobs came out in the rice pilaf and they had to make a new order. The beef on the new kabobs was under cooked and full of grizzle. I asked to have $ taken off the bill, which the waiter did but didn’t apologize

Not much for gluten free, but our waitress asked questions of the kitchen and even took pictures of labels to show me and verify GF status. I got a steak and baked potato with salad with olive oil for starter.

I ordered red snapper, baked potato and fresh vegetables. The server sounded knowledgeable and the food was very tasty. I did not feel very good later though.

Unable to determine what is GF and waiter was not knowledgeable. That is usually not a problem when they are honest, but lying when unsure of food ingredients is unacceptable.

No gluten-free menu but the server was very knowledgeable about what I could and could not eat. She also told me she would tell the kitchen staff about my allergy. I enjoyed a steak with a loaded baked potato-it was delicious!

They didn't have a GF menu but the waiter was very helpful and friendly. He consulted with the chef on a side dish that he wasn't sure was GF. I had a delicious meal with no side effects. I'm going to eat there again.
