GF on the menu but typically food that is already GF like salads. Not a great variety of options.

Chillin at the cafe ☀ Would I recommend… yes! But is the food relatively simple but also good… yes! I’ve eaten here twice and I’ve never had any issues! They have GF items marked on the menu; there aren’t many options, but they are good! I have gotten the shrimp appetizer and the lazy lobster so far. They also have some good, simple sides. I would recommend coming here for a quick lunch!

Highly recommend for celiacs! We ordered some gf dishes to go and weren’t able to specify that we had celiac on the order form. The manager remade all the food with different utensils to ensure no cross contamination. Amazing customer service! The food was gluten free and delicious too. I recommend the Haddock au gratin and the Side salad with salmon.

GF options are indicated on the regular menu. Excellent food and atmosphere but limited GF options. Another reviewer said the lobster bisque is GF but this is not true (or no longer true). They use flour to thicken it

Several GFree items on the menu, but mostly seafood and fish options. I had the Haddock au-gratin with a baked potato and salad. It was very good, atmosphere was cute, service was good, and the restaurant has sliding doors that open to the outside (a bonus since we visited during the covid pandemic)

Had some lobster bisque tonight for the first time in over 6 years and it was incredible. Topped it off with a grilled chicken Cesar salad WITH gluten free croutons!!! I am super sensitive and I didn’t get sick. The staff was attentive and pleasant, we went early and had a wonderful dinner. I highly recommend!

Loved this place. Lots of gluten free option. Lobster bisque is my favorite. Caesar salad and garden salad w balsamic were very tasty. Two haddock dishes, one with dill and one with cheese were decent. Very strange potato dessert that was actually very good. It was a coconut chocolate covered Potato cube.

A few items on the menu marked “can be made gluten free”. Delicious meal, excellent service, great view of the harbor from 2nd floor.
