- House salad (without croutons) or Caesar salad (without croutons)

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant does not have a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, so cross-contact is possible during normal kitchen operations.
- Shared utensils, surfaces, or fryers can pose contamination risks if not properly managed.
- While many staff members are reported to be knowledgeable and proactive, occasional lapses have occurred, including gluten exposure despite requesting GF preparation.
- To minimize risk, request the GF menu, inform the server of the allergy, and ask the kitchen to take explicit precautions (gloved handling, separate utensils, and marked orders).
