Nice, fun atmosphere if a bit loud for us. Food was very good. Attentive to my celiac condition. Service got messed up and was too slow so we were late for our next appointment, but they were really nice about it and comp’ed us so we’d happily go again.

We had a wonderful lunch outside by the canal. Our server was knowledgable about gf foods. They have a dedicated fryer and it was great to have French fries! The crème brûlée was delightful. I'd love to return. It is so nice to dine somewhere where they clearly are aware of gluten free concerns.

Fire pit. Love the ambience

Beautiful tiki bar
I got this to go because I really wanted to try it. Sweet potato fries were anazing and the seasoning was on point for the tenders!
Macadamia crusted chicken (they use chicken thigh and Im not usually a fan of thigh, but jt was lean and delicious)

Meig35 is correct that two of the items on the menu marked “gf” are not; they are evidently mistakes. Like her, I ordered the salmon dinner and chose the pasta salad and cucumber salad as my sides. My waiter came back a while later to report the kitchen made a mistake and neither side is gf. I chose something else and moved on, but you should be mindful when ordering to have the kitchen double-check. Our service was outstanding, and we loved the outdoor atmosphere. We’ll be back!

Honestly, I had very high hopes for this restaurant since it has the most amount of 5 star and heart reviews I’ve ever seen. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the best experience and wanted to share for other people. The service was honestly terrible. We got a bottle of wine at the bar while we were waiting for our table and they completely forgot about us for about 30 minutes and then lost my credit card lol. She then argued with me saying I didn’t give it back to her. Finally after the waitress coming to check twice they found it. There were many gluten free options on the menu which was great but when I ordered 2 sides (pasta and cucumber salad) they came out clearly wrong. When I asked the waitress, she said that was the gluten free option. I asked her to please check with the chef and it turns out it was normal pasta. The cucumber salad smelled like soy sauce and miso and when I asked for it to be checked, she forgot to come back and let us know so I didn’t bother risking it. I ate a plain salmon and white rice and unfortunately ended up getting sick on top of it. I’m hoping it was just poor service and a late/off night but needed to share the experience. 😔

Food was great! 2 of us have celiac and neither of us got sick. We had the bbq wings, filet, and Hawaiian shrimp. All were delicious but the wings were our favorite!

I have Celiac so every new restaurant adds trepidation until confidence is earned. Menu items are clearly marked GF and after telling our server Dakota of my food allergy he checked with the kitchen on any questions. Very reassuring. Nice Keysee ambiance on the canal and we will definitely be back. As a bonus watched a launch.

I really don't know why it took me so long to go here. This is the only place that I've been in Brevard county that has delicious fried wings that are celiac safe. The food is fresh, delicious, and there are so many gluten free options available! The environment is also excellent! It's a beautiful location right on the water. This is definitely a spot I will be returning to.

Hidden gem for all! We picked this place based off this app and wasn’t expecting much. But this is the CUTEST place!! A beautifully constructed Tiki Bar off a canal with an amazing selection of gluten free food. Separate fryer for gluten free items and most items were already gluten free so we could order right off the menu, NO SUBSTITUTIONS! I never felt so normal!! Didn’t get sick either! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Chef came out to talk to each table, not just the gluten free one. Again, felt like everyone else which is sometimes all we as gluten free people want to feel! <3

Excellent fresh seafood and steak restaurant that takes great care of those with CD and other food sensitivities. The atmosphere is very tropical with outdoor seating along the Barge Canal. All GF menu items are marked on the menu, and they honor personalized requests. They also have an extensive gluten free selection on their kid's menu.

So many GF options! Most entrees are prepared GF with GF flour and sauces and so not need to be modified. They have gluten free buns for burgers and sandwiches and the food was delicious. Staff was super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.

Got the pork sandwich on a gluten free bun and it was one of the best gf buns I’ve had. The fries are made in a dedicated fryer and they chips and guac are also safe.
