Food was pretty good and there are some gluten free options but the server's aren't very helpful at all. If you just get some fish off the "catch of the day" part of the menu with veggies and mashed potatoes you should be good. If you're extremely sensitive and worried about cross contamination this place might be a little risky.

There is no gluten free menu and when I asked the server if their peel and eat shrimp was gluten free (because you never know) his response was “well it’s shrimp so I’d assume so” to which I said yeah I would assume as well, I just get really sick so is there any way you could ask the kitchen” and he replied “ha, no how would they know that” ..........he was incredibly rude but I ended up getting the shrimp anyway since the odds of gluten in it were low and I did not get sick. They weren’t anything special. Sitting outside was nice but the place was very loud. Wouldn’t recommend especially if you are celiac.

Went to this restaurant based off of reviews stating that although there is no GF menu, some apparently ate there successfully, well our waitress admitted to not knowing what gluten was but she went to ask the chef. The chef told the waitress that certain items were not gluten free because there was “corn starch” in the items. I should have left then.

I ended up ordering blackened mahi, veggies, and mash potatoes. Waitress ensured it was all gf .... I ended up getting sick from it. Do not recommend.

I’ve been here several times and while the menu is not marked for GF their staff is very knowledgeable and accommodating (with a smile). I’ve had something different every time and I have never been disappointed. I love to sit outside and watch the view of the beach, water, pier and sunset. It’s a busy place and a little loud but the food is good and you just can’t beat the view.

Wait staff and person who came to table from kitchen had no idea what gluten actually was. Just left so will update if I was exposed significantly.

Great place. Items are not labeled gluten free but they are very knowledgeable. They even have gluten free fries and buns. I did not have either as I don’t eat carbs. I had prime rib and it was delicious. I did not get sick.
