Nautical Nellies Steak & Seafood House

Shared the sablefish and halibut with my partner. Not marked but they’re able to make accommodations!

We were in a hurry to catch the ferry and they accommodated my needs on the fly, so my review is very specific to what I needed and what I ate. I did not query whether they had a dedicated fryer. The menu did not have GF markings. But, I found the listing from the Victoria Celiac website where I found many restaurants and, thus, felt comfortable. We had a great waiter, I ordered a delicious blackened halibut with potatoes and greenbeans and was delighted with the meal. As you would expect with a waterfront property in a tourist area, it was expensive, but the presentation was gorgeous and the dish was delicious. My non-GF fellow diners loved their food, too. Wish I had had more time to enjoy the ambience and meal, but am glad I dropped in.

We called ahead to know if they have a gluten free menu they said most of their menu items can be substitutes to gluten free but isn’t very clear what you can have .

First of all the app said they have a dedicated gluten free frier and they don’t . Second I wanted to order the fish tacos and the server informed me they aren’t gluten free because its wheat flour shell. I feel disappointed that the restaurant doesn’t take time to highlight their gluten free dish or have a separate menu . I end up just having a Caesar salad .

The food was incredible and there were a bunch of options. The west coast paella might be the greatest thing I have ever eaten. Super knowledgeable staff too. I highly recommend this place!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

If you are gluten Free Then I highly recommend this place because of the amount of food safe to eat! My husband and I went to this restaurant because of a recommendation from a captain of a boat that we were we are watching on! I am so thankful he pointed us in this direction! Tried their seafood chowder and one of their salads and it was amazing! I wish we had them back at home! I could definitely become a regular if they did!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The coconut curry was amazing and they are very celiac aware; however, there is not a dedicated fryer.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delicious creamy GF seafood chowder with large chunks of salmon, shrimp, and mussels. Would eat again!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had a great meal here! They label items on the menu GF however for fried items, they do share a fryer so if you’re sensitive like I am, those are not a good idea. Other than that they are great at modifying things to accommodate allergies! (Mine are gluten, dairy & egg)

Good steak and lobster. Not great on kid's selections

There are fries on the gluten free menu, but they do not have a dedicated fryer.

Celiac friendly?

No

This place had one of the BEST dinners I've ever eaten! And very knowledgable and safe with gf. Great gf menu options, including fries! Kid friendly, wonderful service!
