Old Port Sea Grill & Raw Bar

We asked if their chowder was GF. They said straight away that it wasn’t (which is obviously a good thing to know). My rating is to let anyone else know if they are looking for GF chowder, don’t come here. I’m sure the rest of their menu is lovely, we were on a chowder hunt so we didn’t eat here.

I desperately wanted to like this place, but was really disappointed. Only a few items on the menu were marked GF, the staff was aloof and inattentive, and the food was “Meh” at best. Everything needed salt and I couldn’t catch the eye of our server to ask for some. The fish seemed a bit undercooked too. That, plus the loud crashes coming from the kitchen all night, made this such a disappointing experience.

Other Characteristics

• Good for kids

Wait staff quite knowledgeable. Restaurant manager took the time to come over to me and give me some celiac friendly options. My meal was delicious and safe!

They did NOT have gf calamari as others had posted, not very knowledgeable staff & no gf menu

Celiac friendly?

No

No Gluten Free menu. They were accommodating though but not too many choices and food was just ok.

Unfortunately this restaurant does not have a dedicated GF menu, and although the manager was kind enough to tell me which items were naturally GF, there were very limited GF/dairy-free options. We ultimately decided to pass on this restaurant.

Celiac friendly?

No

Restaurant was really nice and our waitress was very courteous. However, when I asked for the gluten free menu the waitress said they had just changed their menu and did away with GF menu for the tourist season. We ended up leaving without ordering

Celiac friendly?

No

I went based on reviews of others. the food was great. They have shared fryers, so calamari, fries, etc. are not GF for Celiacs. they can work most items to be GF, but they have no GF rolls or bread. I got a lobster roll, no bun and fingerling potatoes, both delicious. My husband (who does not have Celiacs) ordered oysters and clam chowder. Service was great.

They are very good about keeping things safe and have many options, plus a great oyster happy hour.

Great food! They serve gluten free calamari and fish n chips!

Celiac friendly?

Yes
