Review of Coastal Cravings

Went for lunch and it was pretty busy. The server was nice and aware of gluten issues but was a little casual/flip. There seemed to be some distractions/drama (crying and little clustering/whispers) among the staff that added to a bit of the atmosphere.

She assured us she would mark everything as “allergy”. Our appetizers (prepped shrimp and Mahi bites) were brought out by two other servers who plunked them down. We questioned the mahi bites because they didn’t look right but one of them kind of snapped “yeah those are mahi bites” and walked off. Looking at them more, it was clearly the fried cauliflower (literally shaped like a floret) which is not GF. I got up to walk back to the kitchen and was intercepted by another server (not ours) who just grabbed the basket and said she’d be back with the mahi bites. Our server brought them out and assured us she was back on track.

The rest of the meal was fine. We got crab cake sandwiches with the gf buns. Fries, potato salad, and slaw were all ok.
