Best gluten free meal experience on island. We had the kale salad, cannelloni bean hummus with rice crackers, spicy cucumbers, mushroom ragu and halibut. All exceptionally prepared, flavorful and also dairy-free along with GF. Not one item was less than. Our server knew his stuff and how everything was prepared. Everything was excellent. Wish they were open year round but will be back each island visit that they’re open. Great wine list

This is one of the most incredible spots. Most of the menu can be done GF and they are confident with their accommodations. I didn’t get sick.

If you can swing it- the halibut belly and collar is one of the most delicious meals I’ve ever eaten. A lot of the ingredients are locally sourced and the atmosphere is lovely. Can’t wait to return someday!

Not only is this the best restaurant on the island it’s probably the must gluten friendly as well. They ask immediately if there are any allergies at the table. 95% of the menu can be made gluten free or is naturally gluten free. Spicy cucumbers, clams and chorizo, bolognese and a flourless chocolate cake to top it all off were my choices. Would eat here every night if it wasn’t so hard to get a reservation for more than 4.

Delicious gourmet dinner. Staff was very knowledgeable. Had the squash and green bean app and the mushroom ragout entree. Hubs had Halibut. Every dish was unbelievably delicious and flavorful. Will be back often. Highly recommend!

Server was very knowledgeable and careful. Each time the food was brought she made a point to say “gluten free x”. Some items on the menu are marked as gf because of substitutions so be sure to tell them you want the gf versions even if marked. Tons of options and the food is phenomenal.

Last night we ate at the Covington. The bartender, Trevor, completely understood the difference between celiacs and gluten free. He gave me a gluten free menu and when I selected a pasta dish, he said the chef will use fresh pasta water so there is not cross contamination.

The food is delicious and the drinks and service are exceptional! A must go!
