This place was AMAZING! Had a gluten free menu and food was cooked to perfection. The coconut prawns were as good as everyone said, I can’t believe they were gluten free. The pineapple dipping sauce almost tasted like applesauce, very good. We had scallops and squash for dinner and I very much enjoyed the sweet taste of the squash purée, it surprised me. This place has an elegant ambiance, lovely piano music and is a date night must if in the area. If you are gluten free you’ll have lots of great food options here.

Lots of great gluten free items.

Beware that Omission beer is used for beer batter so the fryer is not safe for celiac , even though they are marked as gluten free.

We had a wonderful anniversary dinner at Moonraker. The food was delicious and the view was breathtaking. I was so pleasantly surprised when the waitstaff were extremely knowledgeable about the gluten free options and how they were made (crispy jumbo coconut prawns battered with rice flour and gluten free beer!) Totally recommended.

Oh my! When is the last time you had calamari? Or coconut prawns? I did last night! They were fantastic! The restaurant has many gluten free options clearly marked and I had no problems with cc. It is a bit expensive but I highly recommend this restaurant!

As others have mentioned, a fantastic view. Menu is marked with choices that are gluten free, my server also seemed knowledgeable, I had no issues with the scallops which were grilled and served with vegetables and mashed potatoes. The chocolate mousse was really good, too. Recommend.

This is easily one of the best meals we have ever had. The GF calamari was delicious, the mussels (a pound!) with GF frites, and my husband’s sole dish were seriously out of this world. And the view. Wow. If you’re in this area, go! (We also loved the live piano!)

The view was spectacular. The service was excellent! Michael is a fellow celiac and very knowledgeable about the GF menu options. Coconut shrimp was a treat for this celiac. The sole, scallops, and steak fries were great. They had a fryer for GF items only. I can't wait to go back.

Moonraker is delicious, in a beautiful location, and has good service. Their menu notes which items are GF. There’s a handful of entree options to choose from. Only 1 gf dessert (chocolate mousse). I’ve eaten here twice without any issue. 4 stars just because of its not dedicated GF and there could be more GF options.

This place is a whimsical and fun blend of a modern, yet total throwback, experience. The entire feel of the place, from the style of cuisine, the high-backed leather banquets, to the piano player playing standards at the mirror-backed bar, give the feel of a late 70s early 80s steakhouse that happens to serve a lot of seafood. That said, the food is GOOD. Really good. We had the fried calamari and coconut shrimp to start and I had the filet of sole. My non-celiac partner had the crab cakes. Nothing was disappointing. The menu is very clearly marked with GF options, the server was knowledgeable (even to the point of being able to explain to me how the beer-battered prawns were still GF) and there was clearly an emphasis on making as many menu options GF as possible. But the real reason to come to Moonraker is not actually in the restaurant. It’s the stunning front-row view of the Pacific Ocean afforded by the huge plate glass windows all along the west side of the restaurant. Beautiful. If you can find fun in the blatantly old-school parts of this dining experience, this is a great place to visit. It was clear that their attention to food safety was right up-to-date!

Dinner was pretty good. Menu items marked as gluten free. The fryer is supposedly only used for gluten free foods. We had the calamari and coconut shrimp as appetizers. They were good. No severe reaction. Surf and turf was ok. Fatty thin steak, lobster was ok.

This is for their food truck which is parked outside. I had their fish and chips which is marked gluten free. I asked if they used gf beer in the batter and if other items were fried in the fryer. Both a no. The cashier wasn’t totally familiar with gluten so he asked the cook. I didn’t have a reaction and if I have gluten in fried foods...it’s all over for my stomach 🤢.

as previously stated the calamari is fried in rice flour and I was informed nothing had been fried in the oil that night with gluten. I have not had fried calamari in forever and it was very good. I also had dungeness crab and a salad all very good. I did not get sick so that was great. also a wonderful view of the waves crashing outside the window.

When looking at the menu they don't have anything marked gluten-free, but the server explained to me that the chef recently switched to rice flour, so even the calamari and things like that can be eaten. I ordered the pot-roast and Brussels sprouts appetizer. I believe the Brussels sprouts may have been fried, so they probably aren't celiac friendly, but I'm not sure.
