Chesapeake's Seafood and Raw Bar

We ordered over the phone and I was tossed around a bit as not all of the staff was aware of making gluten free food, which was a little nerve wracking. The person I put the order in with was as helpful as possible. They did have to call me back because they had an issue with their brown rice having gluten in it! Again, a little disconcerting for something as simple as rice having gluten... we asked to sub it with squash without any of their seasoning, but when we opened our food, they had put the seasoning on it. Since my daughter reacts very slowly, it’s hard to tell if she’s had a reaction or not, we will continue to monitor and post an update if need be. We won’t be going back, though in their credit their shrimp was absolutely amazing as far as flavor

Wow! Amazing food and around 1/2 the menu is gluten free. No dedicated fryer but tons of options like steamed, baked and blackened seafood, burger w/gf bun and a variety of sides. Theres also orange sherbet on dessert menu. We had excellent service and the waiter was so knowledgeable she even walked me through which specials I could have & confirmed any questions I had with the chef and manager.

The staff was very knowledgeable and when they weren’t sure they asked the management and head chef. Lots of gluten free options and the service was outstanding! The boiled seafood is amazing! Will definitely be back to try more GF options, there were so many on the menu.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff had adequate knowledge about gluten free options. Dairy was the bigger challenge but still manageable. The food was super tasty and the atmosphere is very pleasant. The brown rice and quinoa dish is prepared in a base containing gluten so beware.
