They have a few gluten free items that are actually fried in same oil as gluten containing products. So you will need to clarify if something is fried or not. Waiter wasn't aware of this as a cross contamination risk; but he was able to clarify my questions with the chef.

They got rid of their breakfast and lunch menu and just do brunch now! They added firecracker shrimp that's GF and haven't had breading like that with those flavors in a LONG time!! SO GOOD!

I called the restaurant to see if anything on their dinner menu was gluten free. The hostess spoke to the chef and confirmed nothing would be safe for someone with celiac disease, so we did not eat here.
