Review of Blue Moon Beach Grill

I was a little scared to go here after reading the reviews, but decided to brave it. The cons: their gluten free menu is a separate menu, but it’s actually the regular menu with things that are gluten free marked on it and things that can be modified- but it isn’t real clear on some things and was kind of confusing. Pro- the hostess and wait staff know what gluten is and asked if we were Celiacs (we are) and told us that they have a shared fryer which eliminated quite a few things on the menu. Con-Several things that most likely were gluten free weren’t marked as such and the waitstaff wasn’t sure either. We did decide on the ribeye and the braised risotto stuffed portobello mushroom. And wow- I’m so glad I did. My son enjoyed the rib eye but that portobello mushroom was out of this world good. I could eat that every day.

So, yes, it is safe to eat here, but you do have to be cautious and if you are sensitive to cross contamination avoid anything fried. The staff is great and assured us they would alert the cooks that we had an allergy alert which was reassuring. While they aren’t super knowledgeable about every item on the menu, they are very willing to help figure things out and took it seriously.

We enjoyed our meals and did not get sick at all. My son is really sensitive to cross contamination so he is the “canary in the coal mine” and was fine. I will definitely come here again just for the portobello mushroom.
