They had a gluten free menu and the waitress was very knowledgeable of the gluten items. I had the salmon with broccoli and Asparagus. The meal was amazing and atmosphere was very romantic.

The restaurant has a separate and limited gluten-free menu. The food was good, however. I am not sure about the possibility of cross-contamination.

Nice little place. Service was good and helpful. Not many GF options. I had oysters on the half shell and boiled royal red shrimp. They both were just ok. Not as tasty as I was hoping

it was nice they said the chef can make pretty much anything gluten free on the menu. However it was so overpriced and my shrimp was cooked to death/ no flavor. I guess I should just be happy I didn’t get sick but I’d rather have spent the money on something that would have taste good and filled me up for that price.

There are not a lot of choices for gluten free. I got the Royal Reds shrimp and I swear they were the best shrimp I've EVER had. I was thrilled.
