Outstanding experience for my celiac child and dairy free family members. Great service from waitress, manager and kitchen to ensure safe food for everyone. Will return the next time we are in town.

Wonderful food! Best coffee I’ve had in this trip. Amazing server with Daniel! Was there at 10:30 am and already getting busy. Daniel was attentive without being intrusive. Very knowledgeable and informative!

Very disappointing. Long wait time for very overpriced mediocre meal, and unfriendly service. They do have a separate gf menu if you ask the waiter. I’m celiac and I got the Galveston bake and substituted the Mashed potatoes for the cilantro lime rice since I’m also dairy free. Felt like eating in a cheap cafeteria but they charge $40 a plate.

The servers have a gluten free menu that you can ask for when you are seated. Food and severs were amazing. The manager came over when I told them I was celiac and made sure that everything I ordered was safe

I had a great experience! I had the catch of the day Galveston style, some Mexican shrimp cocktail, and a seafood soup. All were excellent. I let the waitress know I had celiac and the kitchen manager came by to talk with me. Everyone else from my family ordered regular items and also enjoyed their meals. The portions are big so we could have split a few things.

We ordered off the Gluten free menu, explained to 3 staff that we had Celiac and they verified we would be taken care of. I ordered the bisque and spinach Rockefeller and was sick shortly after eating. Very disappointed as we were on vacation and being as cautious as we could

They said the soups were thickened with corn starch so they were all gluten free so I got the lobster bisque and it was very good. They is quite a few gluten free options and the server was very helpful. The fish was also good. My family members who are not celiac say this is in their top 3 places on the islands.

Have a gluten free menu, and a very knowledgeable server. After I ordered, the kitchen manager came out to reassure me that it was gluten free and there was no cross-contamination. I got the house salad and boiled shrimp.

Wow! What a find! They have a limited GF menu but enough to make anyone happy. I ordered a special after my waiter went back to the kitchen to verify that it could be prepared GF. The manager came by to confirm my order and went back to the kitchen to confirm that it was prepared GF.

There IS a separate GF menu! Our friendly waitress had it on a little laminated card. Everything I ordered was delicious — Mexican shrimp cocktail, garlic butter crab fingers, Caesar side salad. Drinks were amazing. Inside was a bit noisy but dining outside on the deck was very relaxing. Highly recommended!

Well, it is rated as the best seafood in all of Galveston, so... need I say more about the quality? They literally catch the fish on their boats and serve it... now the GF portion of the menu has many of the main dishes with a good amount of sides other. Enjoy a great experience.

Our waiter was very knowledgeable about what to recommend for a gluten free meal- it’s been 3 weeks and 3 states ago so I don’t remember if there was a specific gf menu- I had grilled fish, plain white rice , and a wedge salad…my preference, I just like a wedge plain with ranch dressing on the side… the restaurant makes their own salad dressing and the ranch was gf and extremely good- you could tell it wasn’t commercial from a bottle…. My meal was delicious and I had no problems afterwards… when I told my waiter that I have celiac and extremely sensitive, he and the cook staff took this seriously… it was a long wait time to be seated- Spring Break, go figure, but definitely worth the wait!
