Not safe at all!!! I can’t give negative stars for that, unfortunately. No GF on menu or at all. Existing group reservation - didn’t get to pick. Saw reviews and was on high alert and ate snacks beforehand with no expectation to eat here. The server, for her part, tried hard. Outside of seafood, there was a grilled chicken salad. She put No Croutons- ALLERGY. It came out looking great, but once I started mixing the dressing into the salad, someone had put a handful of croutons at the BOTTOM! 😳 I politely alerted the sever who was a bit distraught after her efforts. It wasn’t her fault, she did everything correctly. I opted NOT to have a replacement (didn’t exactly feel safe) and simply enjoyed the company of my colleagues. (The $20.50 for the salad was removed from the bill.)
Came for brunch. The staff was not knowledgeable about what was gluten free on the menu and what wasn't. But they did go back to the kitchen and ask. The Cajun potatoes and grits are not gluten free. I was only really able to eat eggs and meat and fruit for breakfast. I asked for no toast, but my plate came with toast on it, which leaves me to believe they're not good with cross contamination. I wouldn't really recommend for anyone with severe allergies/reactions.
Don't trust. Waitress (Michelle) said a dish was gluten free, got it, confirmed with the individual who dropped it off and it was not. The individual double checked with kitchen.
Waitress (Michelle) got defensive and claimed she never said it was gluten free, which the entire table of 6 all confirmed she did . She then lectured me on how menus work, as if this was my first time, and how because there wasn't a gf next to it, it wasn't gluten free. Then she pivoted and said it was clearly gluten free cause of the ingredients and demanded to know who said it wasn't.
This was only one of many bad service moments with Michelle (e.g forgot orders, took forever to get service). Wordt service experience in my celiac life.
This place is not safe for Celiacs.

Waited in the lobby for 10 minutes before someone approached me. Sat down and waited 15 more minutes. Nobody came over, so I left. Yikes.
Staff said Gulf shrimp and grits were gluten free. I'm assuming the blackened red fish was gluten free as well (but they didn't say). Both were delicious.
