They don't have gluten-free options on the menu but they will make changes and check with the kitchen for what is safe or not.

Some reviews here says there is a separate fryer but the server told me that their second fryer is for calamari only and did recommend me not to get anything that is fried.

I went to two restaurants that day and I did get "glutened". It's hard to tell from which one so I would be cautious.

Other than that the service was great and the food was amazing.

Dedicated GF fryer, over 3/4 the menu is gf to begin with and can make adjustments to many others to be GF. Kitchen is extremely allergen aware. 10/10.

My friends and I had a great time at Starling! The menu has what is gluten free marked. There wasn’t much selection for GF but I had the duck and it was very very good! The server asked if I was Celiac or not. They use some of the same fryers for fries. Overall great experience! Will go back :)
