Went for dinner and drinks. Ordered the Tugboat Burger on a GF bun. Several gf sides to choose from but no French fries as they are done in a shared fryer. I opted for a side of risotto. Items are marked gf on menu. Bartender was attentive to my celiac and spoke with the chef. Def will return.

Some gf options on the menu. Like hakf a dozen. The gf salmon and tuna not so tasty because no seasoning at all (though i think it’s just the restaurant). Felt safe. No reaction. Seems like there are things on the menu that they could obviously make gf but i wouldnt trust them to do it. Nice view and atmosphere so great place to go if u dont want ur party to choose a olace just for u.

This location has several items marked as “GF” on the menu. I ordered the Shrimp Pad Thai. When the meal first came out, I took a bite, and it uncovered a piece of normal, spiral pasta. I then looked through the rest of the dish and found several more pieces of normal pasta. I flagged this to the waiter, who was apologetic and got me a replacement immediately. While the dish was delicious, I will have to spend the rest of the night wondering if that one bite will make me sick. So, although this place has many GF options, I wouldn’t call it celiac safe.

We have eaten here for years, but will probably not return. There had been a change of management. The French fries are no longer gluten free and the chowder is no longer gluten free. Gluten free buns were listed on the menu, but they did not have any in stock. There are plenty of other places that do a great job, so I will go somewhere else.

Ordered takeout and asked in advance what type of roll. They said it was like a hot dog bun. I asked if it came with fries and coleslaw. They said yes. Ended up being a burger bun, no coleslaw. When I called, they confirmed the bun was definitely GF. It tasted okay, but pretty bummed at the lack of communication. Also, had a creepy encounter with one of the staff. Not sure what to say about this place...

Location was fabulous. Not a huge GF selection. Management reportedly changed recently and chowder and other selections no longer gf. I got a burger and fries on gf bun and got sick so I am unlikely to return.

Plenty of gluten free options and quality was great! I got the lobster roll on gluten free bun, French fries and coleslaw- all fresh and delicious! The lobster roll was healing with lobster meat! They told me the fries are gluten free and have a dedicated fryer. Sat outside on the deck overlooking the marina. Under new ownership and everything was very clean. Will definitely be back!

My non-gluten free companions got the marina sandwich and kids chicken finger plate. All the food was fresh and had large portions.

My waitress was fantastic; asking the kitchen about both fries and sweet potato fries (both in a dedicated fryer) and also bringing a separate GF dinner roll to my table without my asking (it was DELICIOUS). I had a fantastic lobster roll as well!

Came here after reading all the positive reviews. First off all the restaurants we have ever eaten at the manager brings out the food and reviews all the allergies. Did not happen here. My kids received their dishes with ingredients I specifically asked to not include twice!! My husband received the wrong order twice!! My dish was so bland and fish dry. We have celiac but still have taste buds. Disappointed
