What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Lobster bisque
- Shrimp and grits
- Fresh lobster (and other seafood)
- Several reviews explicitly mention safety for celiacs and cite GF labeling or staff guidance. There is no indication of a dedicated GF menu, but the menu does include GF items.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination risk exists in principle.
- The information available does not specify formal cross-contamination protocols, only that staff can be knowledgeable about gluten-free needs and that there are GF options on the menu.
- Because no explicit, universal cross-contamination safeguards are described in the collected information, it’s prudent to ask clarifying questions about daily prep practices and potential shared equipment, especially for comfort items beyond the highlighted dishes.
