Review of Traders Restaurant on Sanibel

There is no GF menu, but I was told my waitress would help guide me. She told me the blackened mahi mahi with fried green tomatoes was GF. I asked her to double check with the chef. She went away and returned, saying it was. So I ordered it. It came with two slices of fried tomatoes that looked to me to be fried in breadcrumbs. I started eating the fish but when she cane back I asked her to check for me. She came back and said “those are not gluten free. Do not eat those!” She brought me black beans and rice as a substitute and I removed the fried items from my plate and avoided the sauce on that half of my plate. But I was really surprised that my gluten free menu item was served with half the plate being something that was so obviously not gluten free. I am worried about whether the rest of my meal was GF. Wish me luck tonight.

How confident are you that this establishment takes safety precautions against cross-contact?
