I have many other allergies on top of a gluten intolerance, so I still cannot use the gluten free menu. I listed all my allergies and all the questions I had about which allergies I was concerned about for different parts of the dish. My waitress never wrote the allergies or questions down even though I asked many times. The food was brought to us by someone else, and came with a sauce on the side which I was still unsure about for my other allergies, so I asked again. That waiter asked our waitress and she came back to me, sighed, and said "you need to do your own research before you come" even though some of my allergies (garlic and bell peppers) are not listed on restaurant menus, even online. I'm lucky to not be terribly sensitive to cross-contamination, but I don't trust them at all.

Gluten sensitive menu available limited but tasty !!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff did not understand CD. Had gluten sensitive menu but apparently not enough training.

They had a seperate gluten free menu which stated that is was for "gluten sensitive". I knew what I was getting into but ate there none the less. The waitresses was friendly and knowledgeable enough but it set me off and my stomach is already triggered. I ate the BLT salad I can't remember the name of it, they held the croutons but I think it was the avocado lime dressing or seasoning on the chicken that had gluten in it.

Celiac friendly?

No

Separate gf menu. Not many options but had the grilled redfish which was really good. We're going back tomorrow for shrimp and crab steamer. Had a bad experience at the one in Myrtle Beach and almost didn't go to this one. The service and the food are much better at Daytona.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Separate menu with several fish options. Staff was very conscientious & it was a busy Friday night at prime dinner time. Only gave 4 stars because pricey.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Portions are small for my appetite. They have a gluten free menu but doesn't seem to matter. Its been 20 min and my stomachs upset already. Boo!

Update: very sick. Will not be back.

Celiac friendly?

No

Their menu states items gluten free for nutritional purposes. Spoke with manager who was totally clueless about celiac disease. Only thing recommended as safe is plain steamed crab legs without butter or anything. Would not recommend!

Had high hopes for this place, but it started off with the shrimp in my steam pot not being cleaned properly. Manager was nice and took money off the bill. I thought all precautions were taken because my steam pot came out in a different thing than my husbands. After getting back to our condo, I was up sick all night. So, some kind of cross contact did end up happening and I ended up sick. This hasn't happened to me in a long time. I really was hoping for a good experience here.

Food was honestly terrible. Extremely bland, they didn’t even have salt on it. I was very disappointed.
