Sat at the bar for a light dinner. The bartender was amazing at figuring out how to accommodate us. We really wanted to try the blue fish dip, but they didn't have any GF cracker, so he went back to the kitchen and personally sliced some carrots, cucumber, and some cabbage. No sickness at all. Also had the shrimp cocktail and the tuna tartar. All of it was fresh and delicious.

Most of the menu is available GF. Our server was very knowledgeable and knew exactly what was safe. No bread and no fries, but who cares. The crab cake made with polenta in place of bread crumbs is outstanding! Don’t miss it. The entire raw menu was also GF. We had the ceviche and hamachi and both were awesome. Plenty of naturally gf oysters too. Great meal all around!
