They DO NOT offer a gluten free menu but they do well working with gluten free. But forget about multiple allergies. They aren’t capable.

We only had a simple salad and GF chocolate cake. Both very yummy and safe. Great views and good service.

Based on a previous review I went with the crabmeat, avocado bacon and cheddar sandwich. Was served on a GF roll along with a side of coleslaw. Was really good. Also had a local Gluten removed local beer from Portsmouth. Amazing views and no reaction. Our waitress was attentive to my allergy.

We enjoyed a great meal at the Waterfront. There was no GF menu, but the waiter was knowledgeable and helpful. There were several good choices including 4/5 of the sides. There is not a dedicated GF fryer so French fries are not an option. Yummy and very rich flourless chocolate cake for dessert. Great harbor view! We would definitely return!

Waitress was knowledgeable, they have GF buns for sandwiches & burgers. Salads were also an option. I had the special (crab melt with cheddar & bacon) with Gespacho as my side. Felt fine after. Great view of harbor

Not a ton of options but the waitress understood that I was celiac and took time to explain which items were safe for me. I got a salad with grilled chicken on it. It was good!

The waitress immediately asked me if I was celiac and walked me through what was available. The setting is gorgeous and the food was very good.

Beautiful setting on the water.

I had dinner here my first night in Camden. Our server was knowledgable about cross contamination and steered me away from the polenta since it was grilled on a shared surface with gluten containing foods. I had some raw oysters and a whole steamed lobster with green beans and rice on the side. It was delicious and I didn't get sick.

Great classic waterfront restaurant, with many gf options. The bread was nice and held up well for a griled sandwich.

Multiple GF options! I had the blackened salmon with mashed potatoes and a try-tomato salad. Delicious dish. The view was also amazing. We ate outside and had a great view of the marina.

The menu has many options that are or can be made gluten free if you ask the waitstaff. We had the crab and artichoke fondue and they were able to substitute gluten free bread for the typical toast points it is served with. The staff was very knowledgeable (informed me that the tortilla chips I originally asked for were homemade in the same fryer as the breaded seafood). The atmosphere was perfect for a coastal town. We were able to sit outside with lovely views of sailboats and the bay!

Knowledgeable staff. One of the side dish options was coconut almond rice, the server knew the almonds are processed at a location that also processes wheat so there could be cross-contamination. I was impressed (and disappointed, I really wanted to try that rice!).
