Water's Edge

We had lunch on the outdoor deck, I had veggies with avocado hummus as an appetizer and peel n eat shrimp as main lunch. It was very enjoyable and I was grateful to eat at a restaurant over looking Shem Creek and not get sick.

GF items clearly marked. Didn’t have any issues, but very overpriced for what I got My partner ordered a filet and was brought a cut of meat that had a lot of connective tissue. The manager insisted it was a slim cut filet. Would not recommend

GF items are clearly marked on the menu and most items were safe to eat. However, the food is overcooked and overpriced. There are comparable atmospheres in restaurants nearby that cook better and charge less. We were warned the paella was spicy, but I wish they would have warned us that it would be bland and rubbery, too.

They had GF options but the food is just poor quality at a higher than average price. Try Blu Oyster Sushi & Seafood for high quality seafood, great GF Options and better prices. This was just terrible quality seafood at much higher prices.

Have menu items marked that they can make GF. I also have a problem with canola oil so had a problem with my sides. Ordered broiled oysters with steamed broccolini and a side salad. My waiter was so helpful working with the kitchen. The food was very good and the manager came out to reassure me about the cocktail sauce.

Had the seafood paella— spicy (for a weak gringa) maybe 3.5-4 out of 5. Was good though, little on the pricey side: 36$ haven’t gotten sick yet. They were dead at 8:30p on a Sunday… would rec maybe Saltwater Cowboys or Nico’s Oyster Bar that’s nearby as they seemed more popular.

Was a bit nervous, but the food was great and no reaction at all. I had a house salad and then a special. Chef modified the special so it was gluten free.

Amazing experience! They have gluten menu with a good variety, the service was extremely good, and I had the best mussels of my life! The shrimp and grits were delicious as well. I am celiac, very sensitive to traces, and waited a day to write this review to be sure I didn’t get any contamination. Go for it!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Nice gf menu. Staff was very knowledgeable. Red rice was a little dry. I will definitely go back.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

First of all, this restaurant does not have a designated cook space or fryer for their food. They list sweet potato fries on the gluten free menu, though.

Second, when we asked if the aforementioned sweet potato fries were cooked in a dedicated fryer (after stating I had celiac and needed to avoid any cross contamination) the waiter laughed and said no, of course not. Like they would be weird to have a designated fryer for Gluten Free food.

Then, after altering my salmon meal to substitute something other than the fries - they brought out a meal WITH those fries. When my husband called them out, the waiter went back and came out with another plate (sans fries) and said they just grabbed the wrong plate. After eating the meal - I found a chunk of the fries still on my plate. Not impressed. Not cool. Not safe for people with celiac.

Celiac friendly?

No

Our experience was horrible. Waited 15 minutes to be acknowledged once seated. Took about an hour to get food at 3:30 in the afternoon. Wasn’t that great. Won’t be back.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very knowledgeable about food allergies. Both the food and the service were great.

This place ROCKS!!! Each course of our meal was better than the previous. So many Gluten Free options. Friendly, knowledgeable, helpful staff - our server, Katie, OMG she is a STAR.

My husband and I chose this restaurant from this App. Thanks for your advice, this restaurant was impeccable and the service was fantastic! We are going back with friends, ask for Dinner Gluten Free menu for more options if you don't find something in their GF lunch menu.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The food was excellent. Our waiter wasn't too sure about gluten but checked to make sure my order was safe.

Gf menu. Good food. Good wine. And you eat while watching the boats and Dolphins. Does it get better than this?!?! ❤❤❤

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Not worth the money! And, after telling them I was GF, my salad came out with croutons on it. My paella was the worst I've ever had and it was $27! Not authentic at all and my boyfriend's dinner was average at best. The best part about this place is the fact that it's on the water, but definitely an over priced tourist trap. I had high hopes because of the GF menu.

No dedicated space so cross-contamination is an issue but the waitress I had was very knowledgeable (she wrote the menu). The view is great and if you love watching the boats come in it is nice to have the #glutenfree menu to choose from when with non-gluten free people. I always applaud restaurants that make an attempt to cater and they have some good menu choice but if you are super sensitive be careful. I had the steamed mussels (no toast) and spinach salad with warm bacon vinaigrette and it was delicious!
