Stiltsville Fish Bar

Set reservation on OpenTable with note about celiac/gf needs. Arrived at restaurant and were seated at a table with breadcrumbs all over the seats. Asked them to wipe down. They mentioned my Celiac/gf needs and walked us through the menu on what could be made GFP ( gluten free possible). We ordered the tackle box and the grilled octopus with the GFP option. Chef sent out wait staff & discussed what substitutions they recommended. We went with what they recommended. Entree comes out. The mashed potato option had what looked like bread crumbs. Nima test showed gluten found. They agreed it was bread crumbs and apologized and brought out new potatoes that we didn’t eat. In the meantime we tested the grilled octopus and it also came back gluten found. They told us that it’s a shared grilled space and that’s probably what the issues is. Tackle box tested safe, but the whole experience was rather frustrating and to get bread crumbs after all the discussion just doesn’t seem like they’re really paying attention, or taking things seriously. We opted not to get a different entree and took our business elsewhere.

Be aware!! Shared grilled space, no dedicated fryer, shared utensils etc. Staff a bit confused by GF.

Absolutely incredible. I got the poke and tuna ceviche. GF items are clearly marked on the menu, and if anything is fried in the same fryer they let you know. Highly recommend.

I let the wait staff know I was a Celiac and cross contamination was a problem. She let the manager and chef know and marked it on my order. Food was fantastic. They let me know they used a shared fryer so I did not order anything fried.

No problems, felt very safe eating here and would eat there again.

Amazing fresh seafood right across from the ocean. The catch of the day on lettuce wraps is amazing! The staff is very knowledgeable about what is and is not gluten free so while there is not dedicated menu, they can tell you what is safe to eat. The raw bar is all fair game and super delicious. Absolutely the best meal I had while on vacation.
