What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free meats and vegetables (many reviews emphasize meats and veggies labeled GF).
- Gluten-free sauces on the table (table sauces described as GF in multiple accounts).
- Marinades that are GF (many guests note that most marinades are GF; some reports mention exceptions like teriyaki).
- Desserts described as GF in several reviews (examples include GF ice cream when offered).
- Menu clearly marked for GF items, with staff often able to confirm safety and substitutions as needed.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Cross-contamination remains a consideration where cooking surfaces or shared grill setups are used; however, many diners report that grills are changed or cleaned for each group and that staff will verify and swap out grills as needed.
- There are occasional reports of miscommunication or a server not immediately certain about an item’s GF status; most accounts emphasize staff willingness to check with the kitchen.
- A small number of reviews describe incidents where an item thought to be GF was not, or where a non-GF item was introduced into a GF set, underscoring the importance of asking for confirmation and substitutions when needed.
- Overall, the risk is present but actively mitigated by labeling, staff training, and grill-change practices described in multiple recent experiences.
