I read that they are closed. Another loss to the gf community. It was so delicious that you didn’t know that it was gf.

The staff just informed me that they now are introducing gluten into their meals but at the request of a celiac they will make it gluten free! Because the staff is always so knowledgeable I love this place and have not had a flare up yet! This is hands down my favorite Celiac friendly place to go!

NO LONGER DEDICATED GLUTEN FREE. They say they are able to still make celiac-safe items but that they have introduced gluten into the kitchen.

We had a great experience overall. Service was a little slow, but we weren’t in a rush and the kids walked around the marina while we waited for each course to arrive. We didn’t realize the portions would be so generous, so we definitely over-ordered (bread, calamari, shrimp croquettes, salads, coconut shrimp, and fried fish). We were so full that we ended up taking most of our entrees home. The general manager started up a conversation with us - the owner is apparently a celiac herself and wanted to create a restaurant where celiacs like herself didn’t need to worry about cross contamination. Highly recommend.

All GF menu. We had fried black drum fish, French fries, coleslaw. Excellent. The fish was so fresh. Bruschetta for an appetizer, cake for dessert. All scratch kitchen. You won’t want to be in a hurry as everything is prepared from scratch. But it’s so worth the wait. You’ll want to savor every bite.

Loved, loved, loved this place. Entirely gluten-free menu and 95% dairy-free. Staff was amazing. Ate there 2 nights in a row while in town for business. Burger was amazing! Fries are awesome. It’s a bit off the beaten path, but worth it! Very nice outdoor atmosphere.

The Lookout is a new restaurant on the water with amazing views and a 100% gluten free menu! As a celiac, it is impossible to ever find anywhere I can eat everything off the menu and this is the first place I’ve found where I can truly enjoy everything with no cross contamination! They have mastered the art of gluten free bread and buns, even their pasta dishes and fried foods are gluten free and you cannot tell the difference! New favorite place by far!!

Love this place, the food is absolutely delicious and the available outdoor seating is great. I had the lunch special my first time, fried catfish and fries. Came with delicious coleslaw. Loved being able to eat fries again. Everything was delicious. I have also had their burger and finally had their chicken burger, both on gf buns that was recommended as a must and it did not disappoint. I have learned to eat anything on gf bread upside down to minimize breakage of the bread. Looking forward to being in or close to this place and stopping by, looking forward to trying their peach cobbler.

Dined outside and had a wonderful evening. Highly recommend. Five of us eating (1 celiac) and had appetizers, dinner and desserts. Everyone loved everything we had. Only wish we lived closer and could visit more often.

Also, enjoyed walking around the marina after dinner and watching the kite surfers.

10/2021 Everything is gluten free! No labels for dairy free but the chef was very accommodating. Offered for anything fried to be DF so we had fried calamari and coconut shrimp! No desserts are DF so the chef made us a special dish not on the menu.

05/2022 Not very impressed this time. Calamari is no longer dairy free :( I told the waitress twice I had gluten and dairy allergies, she said she asked the chef three times about the calamari and fried pickles. Then served me fried pickles with ranch and my coconut shrimp came with a different sauce that was dairy based. She asked if I wanted a different sauce, I said yes, then she said every sauce had dairy it in.

The mac n cheese changed and wasn’t very good either per my 3 year old.

Being a family with multiple allergies for some and none for others always poses difficulty when going out to eat. But when I found this place with 5* reviews and that literally everything can or already is GF and most dairy free. Plus we have a milk allergic vegetarian. Very fresh, Cody was very attentive and good portions. Only issue it took sometime. It’s a place to sit back, relax and not stress about time.

We shared the fried pickles, calamari, chips and salsa (needed salt) and I personally ordered the ceviche.

Everything here (except the sandwich bread that can be substituted for GF) is gluten free. As someone newly diagnosed with celiacs it was such a relief eating here. I had to ask 2 different waitresses if everything was truly GF because I was in disbelief! The chicken tenders were delicious! I can't wait to go back and try more.

The Landing is a relaxed coastal sports bar with indoor and outdoor seating. It’s an open kitchen serving fresh shellfish, seafood, and sandwiches. The Chef is super knowledgeable and almost all of the menu (except sandwiches) is naturally gluten free without you having to ask! Apparently his wife is celiac, so he knows his stuff! They have amazing oysters, shrimp, ceviche, poke bowls, charcuterie, and more! They also have a great selection of drinks too including seltzer’s and margaritas and will go out of their way to discuss food with you and make sure you’re taken care of. It was one of the best celiac experiences I’ve had!
