Had a blackened grouper sandwich on what the waitress described was an Udi bun, but lucky for me it was much better (still very obviously gluten free). Our waitress was very knowledgable and offered that the fries are coated and therefore not GF- even before I had to ask! I had the pineapple coleslaw. It was delicious!

Had the BLT on a gluten free bun with fruit and it was good! The waitstaff was helpful and let me know the fries as a side would not be GF. The menu was marked with GF or GFO, which was helpful!

The menu is clearly marked and the wait staff was very helpful. My meal was delicious. The GF rice substution turned out to be so tasty that the non GF people at the table were a little jealous of my meal. They don't take reservations so plan your timing accordingly.

Excellent food! Waitress said owner is celiac so they are very aware of cross contamination.

Many GFO (gluten free options) labeled on menu. The owner has celiacs. Got fish tacos and carnitas tacos. They were both amazing. The chocolate flourless tort for dessert was also “SO good.” They also had a creme brûlée that was gluten free for dessert but we didn’t get it.

Run, don’t walk, to this amazing restaurant!! The owner has celiac so the front desk staff told me it’s THE place to go for gf options and gosh was she right! The menu was clearly marked and the waiter was very knowledgeable. I had the shrimp ans grits…. And OMG…. It was amazing! Then, after I enjoyed every single bite of it, since it was vacation after all, I asked if they had any gf deserts. 58 my surprise they had TWO. I chose the crème brûlée and it was everything I had hoped for. My gluten eating friends also loved every bite they ate. This restaurant deserves five stars in this app and Yelp! Thank you for helping make gf safe food amazing for us!

Fantastic, amazing, delicious! I had jerk shrimp and pineapple coleslaw and have been dreaming of it ever since. We plan to go back and try other things and the drinks too. Menu is clearly marked with what is gluten free and what has gluten free options. They were also very friendly and understanding when our twin toddlers started acting up- we asked for the food to be wrapped up so we could rush out of there and they were instantly accommodating!

I absolutely loved this place. Perfect for a date night. Food was delicious, menu specially curated, ingredients fresh, staff friendly and knowledgeable, and atmosphere lovely. Oh, and let’s not forget cocktails. I had smoked margarita that had the most perfect slice of fresh ginger in it 🐟🍤

There are more options than what’s on the menu. Our waiter was amazing. He told us celiac runs in the owner’s family so they “have us covered.” It’s so great to get a knowledgeable and supportive response from a restaurant. My daughter wanted GF chicken Alfredo (not on the menu) and he pulled that together. Waitstaff was great both times we went and food was delicious. Highly recommend!

When we arrived, we asked about gluten free options and the hostess Joy shared with us that the owners have celiac disease and are highly conscientious about food preparation. The kitchen staff would change gloves and prepare my food away from any contaminants.
I ordered the catch of the day, blackened grouper. The dish came with a vegetable and a starch. I chose a caesar salad without croutons and mashed potatoes. The salad had fresh, shaved parmesan and the dressing was light and tangy. The fish was cooked and seasoned to perfection and was buttery and flaky. The potatoes were roughly mashed and chock full of tasty little pork belly pieces. Absolutely decadent!
Of course, the acid test is how my body reacts. I did not get sick. I would've been very surprised and disappointed if I had. Kudos to the staff.
If we lived in the area, I would weigh a metric ton, so back to the Midwest I go!

The owners have celiac so most of the menu is gluten free or can be modified to be gluten free. I ordered the pasta primavera and a cesar salad, gluten free. They both were so good. We plan to go back again this week.

I had the grouper tacos, and they were fabulous! I’m a very sensitive celiac and rarely eat out, but after questioning the wait staff, I felt confident they could accommodate my needs. All was great and I had no reaction whatsoever.

Oh my goodness! We had lunch here and it was spectacular. All GF items are marked (GFO) on menu and there are a ton of choices. The waitress mentioned one of the owners (I think?) has celiac, so they’re very good at keeping the food safe. We are here for 2 weeks and will go back as much as we can!

Celiac friendly, lots of options. Takes reservations!! (Recommended) we did take out when we were quoted a two hour wait, but food was perfect. Gluten free labeled on the top of the take out menu. I had shrimp and grits.
Yes
I love this restaurant and feel safe bringing my son with celiacs here. The food and drinks are fabulous!
Yes
We were drawn to this restaurant because of its extensive gluten free options. My 8 yo daughter is celiac and it is tricky finding places she can safely eat. We were very happy with the decision. We ordered three entrees for my husband and I and three kids (6, 8, and 10.) We decided to get everything entirely gluten free so that we could share with all of us. The staff was very knowledgeable about this and lead us through the modifications. We ordered a shrimp plate (modification: grilled rather than fried, and mashed potatoes instead of fries), a rib eye steak, and a burger (modification: GF Udi's bun, nicely toasted.) Everything was happily consumed, with the most popular dish being the steak. All three kids now proclaim themselves steak lovers - we decided to overlook the catsup they used on it! My son, who typically won't touch any GF substitutes, didn't even realize he was eating a GF bun on his burger and started to get worried for his sister! All in all, a great dining experience. PS the kids knew they were in a great place when they were handed Wiki Stix instead of crayons for before dinner entertainment!
Yes
Super delicious food and a variety of options! The salmon was to die for. Also nice because they have gluten free noodles for their pasta dishes.
Staff were very knowledgeable and menu is clearly marked. They have three different ciders, the grouper taco appetizer was delish and I’m not actually a fan of fish usually. The lobster topped grouper made my husband very happy and I loved the warm kale salad with scallops added. We sat at the bar bc the wait fir a table was really long. Make a reservation ahead or plan to go early enough to wander or have a drink while you wait. I promise it’s worth it.
Yes
Amazing food, lot of choices, really knowledge on gluten free and cross-contamination will be back for sure
Yes
Best food we had while on AMI! Ate here twice on our vacation. Loved that GF options were clearly marked! Our server was delightful and very knowledgeable. My daughter and I are gluten-sensitive, not Celiac. I do wish they’d had more GF dessert options, but they’re right by Two Scoops ice cream so that problem was solved easily!
One of the most Celiac friendly menus I’ve seen in five years due to the owner having it as well. The atmosphere outside is casual but the food is by far the best in AMI and Longboat Key.
Yes
Many gluten free options. Staff was very helpful. The gluten free frutti di mare was excellent. The rest of my family, not gluten free, had excellent meals as well. While we waited for our table we walked along the beach. The view from their patio while we ate was perfect at sunset.

Amazing food, so many options, I had the mixed seafood over gf pasta it was the best meal ever

Owner has celiac. Very impressed with the staff. Food was wonderful, too!

Very obvious gluten free choices and about 1/2 of the menu is available as gluten free. Food is delicious. Staff is delightful. I had a small Caesar salad and grouper tacos on corn tortillas! So good!!
Yes
Clearly marked GF options. Food was outstanding- notably salad with avocado, hearts of palm and delicious balsamic reduction dressing. Grilled shrimp was delicious and the mushroom risotto was the best ever. Fairly pricey, but worth it for the piece of mind. Vegan diet can rejoice as well as they had a vegan loaf that was delicious as well.
Excellent gluten free options that are clearly marked on the menu. Our waitress was very helpful, she is also gluten free. I had the lump crab salad and steak and my husband had the mushroom risotto and pan seared scallops and it was all delicious. We sat outside on the porch which has great views of the water and pier. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff.
Yes
Had a nice salad and grilled grouper. The waiter told us that they understood cross contamination because the owner has celiac disease. He also gave great recommendations!
I had the moqueca. It was outstanding. Im gluten and dairy intolerant and very sensitive and I had no reaction. Waitress was great to hear my needs and communicate with chef. Best meal I've had out in a long time with no complications!
Owners are celiac so there is a complete understanding. Terrific food and atmosphere! Love this place. Make it a point to come back whenever we are here.
Yes
My husband and I enjoyed two wonderful dinners at this restaurant. Be prepared for a wait if you didn't make reservations. There were quite a few GF choices. The staff is pleasant. I definitely recommend this restaurant.
The menu had plenty of mouth watering, delicious options that I didn't dare hope for. I had the blackened fish tacos. The server was knowledgeable and made me feel confident that she understood the issues. While they don't have a dedicated fryer for French fries (sadly), at least she was able to tell me this and understood the importance of it.
