Review of The Cove Restaurant & Marina

This place is not celiac friendly. Many things marked gf are put in fryer. I asked if they had a separate fryer. They do not but the waiter argued with me saying that the fryer is so hot it kills the gluten. Anyone with celiac knows you can’t “kill” gluten. It is a protein particle not bacteria. He was very rude about it as though he knew more about my disease than I do. I asked about the sauce on the grilled chicken tenders. He said it was all gf. I made him check the ingredients… sure enough it contained soy sauce. (Not gf soy sauce either). I told him that is not gf. He seemed very annoyed. I’m just trying to not get sick. It’s places like this that make you want to stay home and not eat out. Do not mark your food as gf if it has gluten ingredients!
