I’m celiac and had the shrimp pasta. Clam broth has CC so they subbed it with Parm Cream sauce. The shrimp were huge and well seasoned. Pasta is typical GF pasta cooked in fresh water. Writing this day after with no reaction.

The restaurant is located at Disney Springs at The Landing. No GF menu at the restaurant but if you go on the Disney website, you can view the menu and it clearly states the menu items that are GF. Just find that odd. Server did tell me what can be made GF without cross contamination. I had the shrimp cocktail as an appetizer and the scallops for my entree. Everything was delicious! My food came out separately with an allergy pick. Had a table overlooking the water and had a beautiful view of the sunset! Will come back again!

Our waitress was very helpful. She herself has gluten sensitivities. She helped me pick what is safe and what is not safe. She even stated what sauces are safe and what are not! I got the Filet Mignon and mashed potatoes. It came out with an allergy stick. I did not get sick and it was absolutely delicious

Server was attentive, inquired about sensitivity in terms of asking whether we needed cross contact precautions or not (they use a shared fryer). Modifications required to replace tortilla chips with cucumber due to no dedicated fryer for chips. (Appetizer: crab ceviche) No modifications needed for main (scallops) Entrees come marked with allergy wooden indicator. Yummy food.

Great place, good food but not a lot of gluten-free items. I did enjoy the fish tacos in a romaine lettuce leaf because they didn’t have corn tortillas. It was a nice change from the typical tortilla, fish had great texture and flavors, I think using the lettuce leaf elevated the freshness of this dish. I will try using romaine lettuce instead of tortillas for my other tacos. Staff was knowledgeable about gluten allergy but if there was a question they couldn’t answer they spoke with the chef.

I was able to navigate the gluten free items on the menu. I had the chicken breast and the flavor profile was wonderful. I will say I was a little disappointed with how few entree items were available GF.

If you have celiac please stay away. Nothing is safe from cross contamination unless it’s a green.

Very not friendly for anyone with an actual allergy to gluten.

Labeling something GF and it’s not even GF seems pretty pointless

Overpriced food with very limited gluten free food. Only gluten free food was chicken breast, salad, one appetizer crab fries, and seafood. Very disappointing. My grilled chicken was also over cooked and dry and food service was super slow blamed on the kitchen switching over from lunch to dinner menu. Won’t be back.

Menu was marked with GF options, some of them like the fries are made in a shared fryer so they aren’t safe for celiacs but the server was well aware of what options were the safest to avoid cross contamination. Had shrimp cocktail, pork chop and flourless chocolate cake.

They do not have a designated fryer, allergen menu, or any gluten-free bread items. The cooks can make stuff to order, but it would be risky if you have an allergy. It would only be fine if it was not an allergy but a preference.

Most items on menu are gluten free. The do NOT have a dedicated fryer. Food was pretty good but kind of bland. Nothing super special or exciting EXCEPT for their flourless cake which was out of this world

Worst restaurant and service ever. Told me I could have the crab fries as long as I didn’t mind some cross contamination. Nothing on the menu is marked Gluten Free, didn’t send out a chef, say they have a dedicated fryer and they don’t. I ended up with the scallops and they were very fishy tasting. I will never go back and recommend others to say away.

Accommodates gluten free and food was okay. I had a chicken ceased salad (no croutons) and the crab fries. Both were good but also expensive for a lunch option

Excellent food and superior service two nights in a row. Our daughter has celiac, so safe gluten free dining is critical.

Chef came out to discuss GF options with us. Highly recommend the crab fries, lobster guacamole, king crab /snow crab, shrimp, mussel - seafood boils and flourless chocolate cake. Be specific with your server to make sure that cornbread is not included with your seafood boil (standard to include it).

Our daughter is extremely sensitive and did not have any issues from Paddlefish food on either night.

Waiter was great, brought out the chef we discussed my allergy and chose a good option minus the corn bread. The food was brought out by a runner with the corn bread on top. I explained that I had a gluten allergy and that I would need a new meal made. He apologized, said he understood and would have a new meal made. He came back in less than two minutes and stated this was a new plate. Upon inspection, there were several crumbs of cornbread that were removed but one big one remained. The manager apologized and comped our meal and offered to have it remade. He did everything right, but I can not trust the restaurant and am unwilling to take the risk.

It wasn’t the mistake, it was the lie and cover up that is stimulating the poor review. Go to boathouse around the corner instead.
