Royal River Grill House

Great service and gluten free food, just be careful with cross contamination in the fryer… server was very good about checking on how it was prepared when I asked … they had several desserts to choose from… panko fired haddock was amazing and the butterscotch crème brûlée amazing…

Excellent service and food! Server was knowledgeable and many of the menu items could be made gluten free. The mussels are fantastic as well as the haddock dinner.

Was served gluten and was very ill for days afterward after being very specific with my server and the kitchen staff. I double checked with my server when the food came out, the server checked with the kitchen, and the kitchen gave a smart ass response, "if the ticket said GF, it's GF". This has happened twice now. The first time I luckily caught the gluten (my chicken came out breaded) and sent the food back. We will not be back!!

We made a reservation- highly recommend this. After being seated we waited over 15 minutes for our server to greet us, she continued to be lackluster all night long. Once we had our drinks (that weren’t cold and had obviously sat at the bar for an extended time) I told her I had Celiac and needed to also avoid dairy and got a very flat reply- never a good sign. A good server will instantly let you know what is safe or what to avoid and she didn’t. Because of this I was probably quite annoying asking MANY questions. I asked if the mussels could be made DF and she said she’d have to ask the kitchen but never reported back. Over all the food was good but not as hot as we’d like. I had the scallops wrapped in bacon as an app, pork chop with autumn veggie side, all were good. Other diners had steaks, mashed potatoes, and the scallop pasta, all were happy. Dessert was chocolate cake for the other diners and a really great raspberry sorbet for me. Would I go back? Yes, with hopes of a much better server.

Updated review: even worse than first experience. I was very clear when asking questions and ordering, and my meal came out on an English muffin. Sent it back and skipped lunch entirely. Be weary here.

Food is decent but my waitress either wasn’t knowledgeable or didn’t care when I asked questions about modifications. I ended up with an entree that I knew didn’t require ingredient changes. Not a lot of confidence but would go again and try a different staff member.

Was really blown away by my experience here. Waitress was knowledgeable and made me feel confident she was in communication with the kitchen about my needs. They had delicious homemade GF bread for the burrata appetizer and the hanger steak was great. A little pricey but beautiful views, good food, and I felt safe - couldn’t ask for more!

Beautiful restaurant on the river! Gorgeous inside. Farm to table. Almost all of their items are gluten free. They use locally sourced food. Absolutely delicious! My new favorite restaurant. Definitely check them out!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff knowledgeable and menu marked with GF items. We had lobster stew (delicious!), charcuterie board, and lobster roll with coleslaw. Food was good and a great location right on the water

Here on vacation looking for great GF food...LOVED this place. Not only is it a charming location, the food was exceptional. GF clearly marked, staff knowledgeable, very willing to make adjustments, lots of options, felt good after eating. Highly recommend!

Lovely venue with a lot of gluten free options. The waitress was very knowledgeable but was also happy to check with the kitchen with some questions that I had . I had the duck, it was wonderful. The cheesecake was gluten free as well. Only negative, hard to find - look for a sign that has a lot of different businesses on it by a boatyard. We were able to get a table but they asked if we had a reservation.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing. Everything was perfect. So accommodating with gluten free changes. Highly recommend!

The menu has GF indications and staff is very knowledgeable. Amazing GF bread that comes out warm!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Went there by chance and most items had GF options. Had the beef and mushroom soup and the veal chop. I was even given gluten free bread toasted on the side. Excellent restaurant
