Outdoor seating only, a little beach bar right by Coral Gardens (Bight reef). I had fish (pan seared) tacos on corn tortillas. The menu mentions everything on a flour tortilla but I asked and they did have corn. Two fish tacos were $18 and didn’t come with anything on the side. There was a large chunk of tomato at the bottom of the taco which I thought was odd. The tacos fell apart so I had to eat them with a fork but the flavor was good. My husband also got fish tacos but on flour. When they brought our meal out they specified verbally that mine was GF. Went back Monday and had the nachos and dirty fries. Both were great. Must specify you want those gluten free so they use the dedicated fryer. They do take longer then but we didn’t wait more than about 20 min

Kids meals were $9-11. Daughter had a cheeseburger she liked (not GF). Will go back, did not get sick. I asked for The waitress to go talk to the kitchen to be extra careful when preparing my food and she happily did.

Heads up, on Sundays is live music, today was a DJ mixing 90s music. Liked the music but it was sooooo loud. We ate upstairs which was a little hotter but quieter.

The restaurant sign said children under five not allowed upstairs. It also said after 4pm is 18+ only. I’m not sure if that was just for upstairs or the entire restaurant or if that was only for Sundays.

Each day they have a drink special. Sundays was rum punch. It has coconut rum which I wasn’t sure about so asked them to make mine with just regular rum. Mondays is margaritas.

They were Very accommodating

Nice laid back atmosphere - literally right on the beach in front of coral gardens snorkeling. Limited options - mostly loaded nachos, fries, burger or fish tacos. But staff will make sure everything done in a separate fryer if you specify. They were out of GF buns for our entire stay … container shipments get delayed frequently they said. Good drink specials too

Always a good spot. Pricey but dedicated fryer and they are great about GF options. They will even do the fish tacos on GF tortillas! A must have for lunch on the beach.

Very great server who made sure my meal was free of cross contamination. They will fry chips separately if you need it. Wonderful service and delicious food. Didn’t get sick!

If you want your vacation to be ruined, eat here. Sucks because there were good recent reviews. I was clear it needed to be gf & she noted it and said they have a separate fryer. And the items are marked GF and n the menu. She brought the apps out - the dirty fries, conch ceviche with chips. I ate a few of the dirty fries and majority of the chips. When they brought my meal (fish tacos, side of fries) I jokingly said “corn tortillas right?” She looked immediately frightened and didn’t even finish putting my plate down. It was flour. She asked me if they could just plop it on a corn tortilla, i said no it needs to be remade. So she leaves. I start eating a few fries. She comes back a few mins later and takes my fries. They weren’t fried in the dedicated fryer. I’m pissed at this point $15,000 vacation just ruined by one well-reviewed place. Then she came back and was unsure if the chips with the app were gf. I kept my composure but then got up and left. My husband and son stayed to deal with it. She was apparently sobbing she was so sorry. This isn’t a hard thing in my opinion. GF people have to be able to eat, it’s stupid restaurants can’t get it right.

Perfect beach restaurant! Our server seemed knowledgeable - automatically told us he’d sub corn tortillas for the flour ones. Said 98% of the menu either is or could be GF. Chips have their own fryer so that’s always fun. All the food was awesome. Only drawback was as soon as my fish arrived all the flies in the Caribbean descended! So we all had to inhale our food. But we highly recommend it. Really great place especially at sunset!

Our server Jennie was very knowledgeable. Could make anything on the menu gluten-free. Out of the 10 places we went to definitely one of the top best! I would highly highly recommend visiting on your stay!

Fantastic! Chef Cruz went out of his way to work with our son’s dietary restrictions which include celiac disease and numerous food allergies. Not only did he ensure my son remained safe but he also took great pride in making him flavorful, healthful meals. In addition to our “peace of mind” regarding dietarily safe meals, we all loved the experience at Somewhere. The food was deliciously prepared and the casual, on-the-beach setting can’t be beat. We send huge thanks to the Chef and can’t wait to return again next year!

They have a separate fryer for fries. My son love cheeseburgers. Even though they didn’t have Gf bins (we brought our own) they made my son a cheeseburger and fries. The only food i would not recommend is the guacamole and chips. It says gf on the menu but they cook the corn chips in the gluten fryer... i definitely would not recommend the gf chips and salsa or guacamole. Other than that the other food we haven’t had issues with and they also accommodated us bringing our own buns for burgers with no issue

Although they don't have many things on their menu that are gluten free, I was able to order the "some salad" with grilled snapper and it was delicious! I did not get sick afterwards. I went a few times on my vacation and definitely recommend it for others who has celiac disease.
