Pier 36 Seafood & Oyster Bar

My husband and I went there last night to celebrate our wedding anniversary. I had called ahead to ask about accommodations for a gluten allergy, and they told me to make sure to mention it when we came in. Before we were seated, the manager came out and went down the menu for me. Explained what I can eat, and even said he could make accommodations for certain meals that weren’t gf. Said he had cornmeal he could use instead of flour. He explained that all sauces and soups have gluten, but he could make a butter sauce himself that wasn’t, to replace any of the other sauces. He assured me the grill would be cleaned before my food was cooked and they would use fresh utensils. The server was incredibly helpful as well, and the food was delicious. And I didn’t get sick! It felt so good to have a restaurant be so helpful.
