✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free buns are available for sandwiches or wraps.
- Gluten-free English muffin used in a lobster Benedict was noted in at least one positive experience.
- Salads served as a substitute to avoid cross-contact with potentially problematic ingredients (e.g., potatoes with cross-contamination risk).

- The kitchen has shown flexibility, with at least one report indicating the chef will substitute for any meal to accommodate celiac needs.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The establishment is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination risk cannot be eliminated.
- Some guests reported staff unfamiliarity with strict celiac needs or limited menu labeling, which can lead to uncertain safety beyond specific customizations.
- Cross-contamination risk was explicitly noted in at least one experience involving shared components (e.g., potatoes); relying on substitutions or gluten-free components may help, but verification with staff is essential.
