This is an amazingly cool location. Located on a pier, I thought it would be similar to how Joe's Crab Shack is set up on a pier, but at this place you can literally see the water moving through the gaps in the floorboards under you and watch surfers out the open windows. Don't go here if you get sea sick though, because the whole thing sways. However, we went for lunch which is mostly sandwiches, I got a grilled mahi mahi salad and explained that I'm a Celiac and asked about cross contamination and was told it was fine, but it all seemed a little dubious and that our server didn't fully get it. And then it came out with croutons. So I sent it back and specified that it needed to be remade, which they said they did. My husband and I weren't sure that it was entirely remade or if it was the same fish on a different bed of greens because it came out so fast, but I didn't get sick! Honestly, if you're a celiac, I'd skip eating here because you may not get as lucky and I probably wouldn't take the risk again. However, again, I did not get sick and I've gotten glutened SEVERAL times in this area, so maybe it's not so bad after all. But the seeming lack of gluten understanding had me feeling less than confident about it, and I'm wondering if maybe I just got lucky.
