Went to the Office with a group so I went along with it, against my best judgement. My celiac (college-age) daughter wanted to eat with her friends but sick from eating the tortilla chips! I spoke to a couple different people about gluten free options, and had asked the waiter if the chips were GF and asked if they were fried with other items. He assured me they were GF. My kid was unable to eat her expensive and gross-looking, plain chicken tacos, due to being sick from the chips. We had to bow out of our planned excursion after the meal and go back to our resort. Don’t go here if you have celiac!! Listen to the reviews!

I don’t know why these other reviews say that they have a ton of options because they only have a side of grilled chicken, vegetables and some seafood. I couldn’t have refried beans, mashed potatoes, or even the steak. Thankfully, the server was knowledgeable enough to be able to tell me these things. I ended up settling on a side of grilled chicken, a baked potato, and some grilled vegetables. I have never been sicker in my life. To be fair, I’m not sure if it’s because of gluten or the amount of alcohol I drank but there is not many options regardless. There is a ton of gluten-free restaurants around the area that have more options. I suggest you choose another one

I was with a large group so we were required to order platters instead of off the menu, but they were accommodating and brought me food that was on the platter on a separate plate that was gluten free. Super fun environment

My bosses LOVE visiting The Office. I tried to order very clearly, describing all precautions very clearly, and reassured by many servers, yet I still found myself throwing up after eating two chips...

Wouldn’t risk it. They are such a big volume, tourist restaurant, I personally do not feel safe eating here. But I hear their food is quite good- and the coconut shrimp are a show stopper! Dreaming of the day I can try one!

SUPER knowledgeable staff. I wasn’t even going to ask about GF and just order things that there couldn’t be a risk. When I asked if something could exclude soy sauce the waiter responded they could do it with their GF soy sauce before I even said the word gluten. They then brought the GF Kikoman bottle to my table to ensure I was ok with it. When I asked if something else was GF they said no because shared fryer. Yes, lots of things are off limits, but I was so so impressed that they knew exactly what I could have and my meal was delicious. I live in Toronto and the staff here knew better how to accommodate celiac than most places at home. 1000000% recommend.
