Budd Bay Cafe

I went with my heart set on seafood, it was severly over priced & not actually a lot of GF options. I ordered off the appetizers menu, $20 each, and there was NO way those were meant for a whole table, 1 1/2 oz of crab on top of a bowl of cocktail sauce on top of shredded lettuce ad a filler. The seared Ahi was BARELY seared, and 2/3 of the plate was a huge pool of the mayo & Wasabi & soy sauce all swirled together for 4 very small, very thin slices of tuna, piled on top of over dressed cabbage.

Menu has gluten free and gluten free options. I ordered the Charbroiled Salmon. I accidentally ordered rice pilaf. The chef came out and said that the rice pilaf was not gluten free and gave me a list of things that I could have. I asked about cross contamination. They said they use separate pans and utensils for the gluten free items.

This place has tasty options for gluten free, I have not had symptoms eating here, however, their GF options are limited, they don't even offer a GF dessert. Asides from salad without dressing, there are probably about 4 things I can have here, so I usually just end up getting the steak.

No gluten free menu, waitress basically said this is what we got and wasn’t willing to discuss gluten free options. Sounds like the menu has changed since COVID.

There is one mention of gluten free granola on the menu.

Menu had GF next to Cesar salad and the dressing has wheat in it. Ordered same salad with different dressing, ended up with symptoms anyway. Possibly the nuts had a coating on them and staff didn’t know they also have gluten? This restaurant is not celiac friendly. However the wait staff tried really hard for me.

Their gluten free menu is great. Great variety. Even a dessert option. And the wait staff get it. It was a great night out! The prawn cocktail was great. The pan seared scallops were perfect.

Great food and a great view! Excellent GF options spanning chicken, steaks and seafood options. No issues for this Celiac eating at Budd Bay Cafe. We had a very enjoyable dinner at this waterfront restaurant.
