The Rum Runner

I went here with a party and had a good experience here! The view is amazing and the food was good. I ordered the Green Lipped Mussels GF (they just removed the crostini,) and wanted to order the Angry Lobster Tails but I was informed they do not have GF pasta, but they DO have GF bread. I decided to go with the special, which was a rack of lamb. Originally, it was made with a soy marinade that wasn’t GF, but I was told the chef could make me my order out of a new rack and season it. I asked for the grill to be cleaned beforehand. The food came out and it was good! The service was very slow and not very attentive, but our waitress was very nice. I had a good time here.

I went here for lunch. I mentioned I had a SEVERE gluten allergy. I ordered the chicken Ceaser salad no croutons and was assured it was safe. The order came out with croutons. I sent it back and mentioned I would need a brand new salad as it can’t touch. They brought it out again assuring me it had no croutons, it did. Once again I sent it back and reminded them I can’t have it touch. They sent it back AGAIN with croutons hidden under the chicken. Three times. The manager was apologetic and comped the salad on a 118 dollar meal. But it is NOT safe to eat here for anyone with a gluten allergy or celiac. Unreal

The waitress was very kind and said that she knows how important allergies are and would make sure that they were extra careful with my daughter’s gluten free pasta. And when they brought the pasta to the table, they said, “Here is the gluten free pasta! We were so careful!” The pasta had a toothpick in it to indicate gluten free. Unbelievably, they must have switched the gluten free pasta with my other daughter’s regular pasta. I don’t know if this happened in the kitchen or when they brought it to our table. But my daughter with Celiac disease ate a whole bowl of pasta that we were told was gluten free and was not. She had one of the worst reactions that she’s ever had since getting diagnosed and threw up all night long.

Celiac friendly?

No

I have been here 3 times since my diagnosis. All 3 times they have listened to me. The staff was sensitive to GF and made sure to let me know they would write it on my order and bring it to the chefs attention. Several GF options on menu. A little pricey but well worth the comfort.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free menu. They don’t have a dedicated fryer so watch what you order. They do have gluten free rolls. Beautiful restaurant. Nice views!
