A great experience at Shaw’s. Definitely a $$$ meal but if you’re in the mood for seafood, I recommend. The waiter was extremely knowledgeable about GF and even caught a few things I didn’t, such as asking if I wanted the Brussels sprouts still since they’re fried in a shared fryer. He happily exchanged for steamed broccoli. I felt very at ease eating my meal and did not get sick. Will definitely return!

The staff here was extremely knowledgeable and the menu is extremely well labeled. Yazmin not only took my order, but double-checked that everything was gluten-free. The menu is printed daily with fresh fish so you know what you’re getting it the top quality. All around excellent service and great food. Would highly recommend and I will be stopping by next time I’m in the state.

this is easily one of the most expensive restaurants I have ever been to you but if you count how much food you get for the cost it is the single most expensive restaurant. The food wasn't even that good. and I got really sick with really watery diarrhea, stomach cramps, and constant dry heaving. I don't know what this was from. I just ate garlic mashed potatoes and a seafood sampler included crab, shrimp, and oysters On the Half-Shell, some coffee and their gluten-free creme brulee. I don't know if I got food poisoning or mysteriously glutened. all in all considering I'll stay this is going to be either the worst or second worst restaurant experience I've had.

Very delicious food for someone young like me. I would highly recommend this place for people who are looking for gluten free sea food. They show all the gluten free items on the regular menu.

All the gluten free options are marked on the regular menu. Waitress understood cross-contamination and said that all allergy requests are marked in the kitchen and different utensils are used. Seafood was delicious - crab, shrimp, scallop, all good!

Shaws has great seafood, and the menu is coded with a black dot next to all the items that are gluten free. A bit on the pricey side but definitely worth the cost.

Very knowledgeable staff and lots of gluten-free options, particularly with the sushi. They have gluten-free soy sauce here! Had a delicious Maki roll along with some garlic lemon, grilled shrimp and jasmine rice. Got to share some crab with my husband as well that was so amazing. Most of the fish entrees can be made gluten-free without the sauces, but I would encourage you to stick with the sushi and the side/appetizers. The crème brûlée dessert is also gluten-free and delicious. This is a great place for special occasions! I always have positive experiences with Lettuce Entertain You restaurants and the way they handle allergies and food sensitivities.

We ate at Shaw’s Oyster Bar - which is very casual and very cautious with a gluten free diet. The manager came over and informed me she knew I had a gluten allergy (celiac) and wanted to be sure I was ok with my wine glass that came from behind the bar (where gluten is located). Everyone was so accommodating and made me feel very safe - so, we came back the next night for dinner!
