Review of Marblehead Chowder House

Highly recommend for celiacs! I was very pleasantly surprised at the large selection and haven’t felt safer anywhere else in the Lehigh Valley. They have an extensive menu they call the “gluten sensitive menu,” since there are a few listed items such as a salad dressing I believe that are marked as possibly having trace amounts of gluten. I made a note in our reservation that I had celiac, and immediately when I walked in they handed me the gluten sensitive menu, told me they had already made a note to the kitchen about cross contamination, and to review my choices with the waiter to ensure they were truly celiac safe. I got the crab cocktail and the scallops, both were very fresh and tasty! Let them know ahead of time if you are celiac. They are very accommodating and well-informed!
