Just had a wonderful dinner of sirloin tips and lobster tail, lobster obviously gluten free. The waitress was very helpful, checked with the chef that the marinade was gluten free on the tips. They have a dedicated fryer for the French fries. The service was great, food delicious. I have eaten there many times and have had a number of different dishes off the menu and had no bad experiences. I am celiac so this is important to me
The service was okay, not amazing. The servers didn’t seem to understand what gluten is - they said I couldn’t have a dessert as it contained soy! As we had no other option, I picked the sword fish risotto and it was very good (I had no reactions after). Just sad I couldn’t have any dessert.
Tough place for allergies. Am DF and GF and was really only able to eat the cucumber avocado salad with no dressing (house dressing has dairy). They said they have no other dressings so I just had oil and vinegar. Were not able to Point towards things i could eat. Even though the tacos are corn tortillas, they are still (somehow?) not gluten free. Cool atmosphere and great for people with no restrictions

GF options are really limited to salads. The corn tacos are grilled on the same surface as everything else. I had a burger with no bun and mashed potatoes. It was a sad looking plate since the burger didn't come with any lettuce, onions, tomato, etc. The dedicated fryer is only if there's one available, so don't count on one. Staff was nice and knowledgeable about what was safe.
It too many gf options but staff very knowledgeable and food was great.
GF options are available. I had the cucumber avocado salad with grilled shrimp and house dressing. It was delicious and I did not get sick. The waiter was very knowledgeable about celiac and cross contamination. My non-celiac family members had fish and chips and fried scallops and said the food was good.
They understand the difference between celiac and sensitive. Helpful when picking out item. They can do baked cod or grilled shrimp tacos or salmon. I picked the tacos. They can with chips. Nice sauce. Delicious and not too much food. Also has the downeast cider.
They do have a dedicated fryer for gluten-free fries but beyond that there are no accommodations for gluten free. The chicken I had was very bland and dry
Very unhelpful. Told me I could get a salad that was GF. I asked about the dedicated fryer and they said no they didn’t have one. Very disappointed.
Missed our ferry to Nantucket and had time to eat before next one - stopped here and was delighted with a wonderful waitress, Molly, who was very knowledgeable and friendly. Had a watermelon feta salad with shrimp tacos and GF French fries (dedicated fryer). Great stop right by ferry terminal!
