What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Meats served tableside are gluten-free.
- Pão de queijo (Brazilian cheese bread) is gluten-free.
- Mashed potatoes served at the table are gluten-free.
- Market Table/salad-bar items are gluten-free in most cases; staff can confirm specific ingredients and flag items that may not be GF.
- An allergen list or allergen guide is provided to diners to help navigate the options.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The venue is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact risk exists in theory, especially with shared equipment, oils, or tongs used at the Market Table and for meat service.
- Some items historically noted as non-GF (e.g., certain bread areas or specific marinades) have been identified in past discussions; newer reports increasingly indicate that the market table and chicken/meat marinades have been updated at several locations to reduce gluten exposure, but there can still be occasional exceptions.
- A few reviews note that some items or preparations may be in close proximity to non-GF items or require careful staff confirmation. Crowd size and peak times can also impact consistency of cross-contamination controls.
- Always verify with staff using the provided allergen guide and consider opting for the fully table-served meat options and clearly marked GF items.
