Nice restaurant - GF items are not marked on the menu, but my server checked with the kitchen. We had oysters, gf crackers with cod dip and I had the tuna poke bowl (they had gf soy sauce) it was amazing.

Had a hockey tournament up here and was worried about where I could safely eat. Knowledgeable wait staff. Told me to pick something and they would more than likely be able to make it GF. I had seeped fish that was delicious! They know the mashed potato’s were not GF so they substituted mashed sweet potatoes. They also had GF soy sauce! Highly recommend.

No separate GF menu. Waitstaff is helpful and have protocols for allergies/celiac- must have manager alerted to enter the order. Also have a delicious gluten free carrot cake for dessert.

I started going there during COVID, so I’ve only had take out, but they showed a lot of concern and care when I ordered.

The quality of their food is excellent. Amazing seafood

They were the first restaurant I went to since becoming gluten free and I was very nervous. The hostess that answered the phone was very kind and thorough. She answered all my questions and went back and forth to the kitchen to get the answers when she wasn’t positive.

No separate GF menu, under new ownership and staff are not able to describe any dishes that are able to be modified for GF. Very disappointed!

They charge for Gf bread offering but the dip is pretty good. I ordered king crab legs-expensive but allowed myself this indulgence-I couldn’t finish so asked for it wrapped to go, when I got home-an hour away-I opened to-go box and THERE WAS NO CRAB LEGS!!! I called manager, “he’s busy” potatoes and veggies were awful. Ok as GF but I’m not going back-

The menu was fantastic. Both the gluten free menu and the GLUTEN FREE DRINK MENU!!! Our server, Lisa was fun and funny and the food was delish! I had the oysters platter and my husband the steamers for apps. He had fish n chips and I had lobster roll with a pretty good gluten free roll with the house salad on the side. Talked with two other servers, since it was shift change and they were great! 5stars for me!!
