I was a little unsure because the waitress really didn’t act like it was a big deal but I had already called ahead they took precautions against CC. They do have a GF menu. The food was ok. Got the sautéed scallops, baked potato, and side salad. The waitress did end up saying that she had put a note on mine when it went back to the kitchen. So they do take precautions.

There are four different menus: inside restaurant, the boat, take out, and the raw bar. There was no GF menu on the boat or take out spots. There is a GF menu inside the sit down restaurant. The boat is a nice setting, but it doesn’t have many options. The take out is better for options. You order and then grab an available table on the dock to eat. I’ve had broiled salmon and a baked potato and broiled lobster, scallops, and shrimp with a baked potato. They cook the fish in an individual foil pan and the potato is wrapped in foil. (The fries are cooked in a shared fryer.) I wasn’t sure about the cole slaw, so I didn’t eat it. The inside restaurant does have a GF menu with a good amount of options about how dishes can be modified. Pleasantly surprised!!

Take-out cole slaw is NOT GF. I saw the label.

The indoor restaurant has so many choices!! I just found out you can get steamed broccoli as a veg option in place of their daily option. Love this place!!!!

Fun place right by the water. First come, first serve. We had an hour wait for the dining room so we did the take out. A wait to order, but not excessive. Very efficient. Did a broiled lobster tail (2 halves), scallops and shrimp platter. Took the baked potato option. Cashier said it would take about 20 minutes and it did. Great outdoor setting right on the water, but watch out for the gulls, they like to share. Got to see the sun setting. Good food, especially the lobster tail. Didn't get sick. Part of the Cape May experience.

They have a separate GF menu that's a little outdated and you have to ask for it. I asked if the sauteed crabmeat was gluten free (it wasn't on the GF menu but sauteed scallops were) and the waitress was kind enough to go ask the chef. Turns out it had breadcrumbs on it but they removed those to make it GF. I also got a Caesar salad and it was the best Caesar salad I've ever had. Pretty good!

We went as a family for lunch. There was a separate gf menu. The waitress wasn’t too sure about it but everything came out correctly.

The lobster salad platter was bland and boring. It honestly reminded me of a lunch I had in the hospital recently.

Yes I would go again but probably would get something different.

Food was great and there were a lot of options that were/are gluten free. My waiter didn’t understand that I am gluten free but still made a great effort in bringing out the right food. My stomach feels great!

Ate here last night inside the restaurant. There is a gluten free menu that is a separate sheet and lists substitutions that are possible. I had many options. The server was helpful with my questions. I had a wonderful meal.

You cannot go wrong here, order dockside and sit outside along the water; order the broiled seafood combo, 2 little lobster tails, broiled shrimp, scallops, baked potato and cole slaw. It is perfect, and gluten free! And at a good price. Been going there for many years, and am celiac.

There is no gluten free options marked on the menu and I asked four different associates about gluten free and they had no idea about anything that was safe.

Do not recommend. No gluten free options. Everyone was very disorganized and no one had clear understanding of gfree options.

Visited here July 4th but the indoor restaurant was closed. Outdoor seating only, and they didn’t offer a gluten free menu. Nice atmosphere but nothing to eat for me.
