Insula Restaurant

Very tasty food and knowledgeable staff! Couldn't have the fries or the soup (they thickened it with roux), but I substituted them with the brussel sprouts which were delicious.

Have been here a few times and always have great experiences! The staff is knowledgeable and really helpful! I asked for the club sandwich with gf bread and asked that they skip toasting it (shared toaster) and the bread was actually so soft! They were able to sub a side salad instead of the fries or chips (shared fryer), too. The only dressing with gluten in it when we visited was the Bleu cheese. They also had a cider for those who like an adult beverage!

Delicious food, very accommodating to celiac. Server ensured everything was safely gluten free and alerted the kitchen to take measures for cross contamination.

Was diagnosed last week so am getting up to speed on what questions to ask at a restaurant. Got a gluten free grilled cheese cooked in a separate pan. No separate fryer so did not get fries.

Fantastic service and food options. Willing to make anything gluten free, answered questions and was willing to ask. For breakfast it is UNBEATABLE. Gluten free rum charts French toast, breakfast burgers ok gluten free buns. Awesome. My wife is celiac and has eaten here three separate times with no issues, and we are SUPER strict. She is very sensitive and we don’t eat out much. This place is amazing.

Gluten free under and bread. Knowledgeable staff. Great food. Nice interior. Gluten free beer from a dedicated gluten free brewery. I almost cried!

The staff wasn’t very knowledgeable on Gluten Free food. When I looked on their website they said that they had a dedicated frier for gluten free fries. When we went there they told us they didn’t have the frier and the only side I could get was fruit

Son and husband said the gluten free buns were excellent. They were light and airy compared to others. Waitress was helpful in stating the fryer for handcut fries is a dedicated fryer, but couldn't guarantee no cross contamination. Lots of gluten free options. would recommend.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

There are gluten free things on the menu but be careful! One option listed as gluten free was made with beer! When I questioned the waitress she had to go back and ask the chef. Apparently there was a mistake on the menu and the item wasn't gluten free. Waitress wasn't very knowledgeable about other things that may or may not be gluten free. Other Postings said their gluten free bread was amazing. No bread was available when we were there. I had a salad with a chicken breast. It was "sub par". Two stars for effort on trying to have gluten free options, but they're not quite there as far as educating the staff, taking precautions, etc.

Excellent! Had a BLT on GF bread with awesome hand cut French fries. Lots of GF options. Friendly staff. Recommend.

Friendly staff and absolutely delicious food. Probably the best gluten free bread I've had in a restaurant in Minnesota. If you're in Ely, it's definitely worth a stop.

I had the corned beef hash breakfast to go. It was delicious and very filling. Service was great.
