Great food. Had the scallops. Take care in food prep and altering recipes to make them celiac friendly. I did not get sick

Excellent food and location. The staff is very knowledgeable and there are lots of menu options that are already gf or can be modified to be gf. The dessert options are limited, though.

This is def a place to go if you’re a seafood lover! Most entrees are seafood, however they are known for their oysters which are delicious! They were very knowledgeable and careful about double checking with the kitchen in regard to modifying the menu items to make them GF and DF. The waiter asked if there were any allergies at the table right off the bat! The menu also stated they are allergen friendly. Most items were able to be made GF or already naturally GF. No celiac symptoms after eating here! They even gave me my own special dessert as part of my mom’s complimentary birthday dessert. Would definitely recommend!

Decent food. Went for a business lunch. Waiter was helpful but accidentally served me fried bits on a salad which I had to ask about and turns out it was fried with gluten. But I didn't eat it and rest of meal was delicious.

Limited menu options for gluten free but staff happy to accommodate as best as they can. Food was safe, but enjoyed the atmosphere/views more than the gf dish.

This is not a gluten free kitchen and the staff will caution you about it. That being said, the chefs are very knowledgeable about cross contact and do their best. I use a tester at restaurants that aren't gluten free. One dish came back with gluten. The staff was totally apologetic and didn't charge us. They offered to remake the dish, but I declined. I didn't want to be a jerk, since I knew I was taking a risk in the first place. The appetizer, jalapeno panna cotta was AWESOME.
