Review of Oceanic

We have three generations that have eaten at Oceanic for years and years! My celiac daughter has eaten here at least 40-50 times and never been sick. The key to ordering is speaking directly with a manager and explaining your needs-nicely and gratefully!!!!

My daughter often gets the Caesar salad (no croutons) with a 6 or 8 oz filet of fish on top. Don't order it blackened because the seasoning has gluten. You are taking more of a risk outside of this order but still a good chance you'd be okay. We've done fine the few times that we have tried other things. She just loves their Caesar dressing and fish!

Oceanic bent over backwards and was learning a lot about gluten free, had created a separate menu, and the guy you have to thank for them pulling their menu and almost giving up is probably Chris below. I'm so mad at people like him who ruin it for the rest of us! I think he is the one that had a family member get an exposure and came and yelled at Oceanic like an ass and they pulled a lot of their efforts. They still have a lot to offer but won't hand out a separate menu anymore.

Lesson to all...educate your staff and managers along the way and be patient with them if you have an exposure. Keep trying if you have an exposure and they have assured you they are being more careful. Give them a chance!

Finally, I bet the other reviewer that didn't like their server was a jerk too. Be nice to your servers too! I've seen that sometimes gluten free and celiacs act pompous, arrogant, ungrateful, and belligerent with the staff when ordering.

Straighten up and be grateful so we stop getting a bad, needy, and high maintenance name!

Celiac friendly?

Yes
