UPDATE: 6/24 another amazing dinner/dessert! Outstanding food, gf clearly marked and I did not get sick! They even had dessert! We went early before the kitchen got busy hoping there would be more attention paid to my meal. I had the most delicious vegetable risotto with sautéed mushrooms and onions and an unbelievable Vanilla gelato with coconut for dessert. I can’t wait to go back, I highly recommend this place. Gluten-free items were clearly marked. I am not sure if it is safe for one with celiac, but it worked for my gluten sensitivity and wheat allergy. All the food including the desserts are made on the premises.

I came here for my 37th wedding anniversary because of the good reviews as well as the gluten-free options and there were many to choose from. I was told by our server that the chef was very flexible with altering menu items which was a pleasant surprise for such a high end restaurant. I had the garlic shrimp as an appetizer, halibut with pesto infused mashed potatoes for an entree and flourless chocolate cake. . Excellent!! Highly recommend!!

A must try! Celiac friendly. I had the jumbo lump crab cakes (they not only told me they were GF but also explained that the crab meat has no filler ingredients) and the pan seared scallops. They were both amazing. I felt so comfortable eating there. Highly recommend!

Everything that is Gluten Free is marked on their menu and they are very cautious with all allergies. I have Celiac and a severe nut allergy and they are always very accommodating. The food is AMAZING!!! order the Crab Cake it's GF and tastes so good!!!
