What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Pan-seared scallops, prepared with no dressing and with a dairy-free modification (swapping out risotto for potatoes to stay dairy-free), was described as naturally gluten-free in a recent dining experience. This is the clearest, explicitly supported item that a celiac diner could consider safe when prepared as described.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The establishment is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, which inherently elevates cross-contact risk for diners with celiac disease.
- Some gluten-free options exist, but not all items are clearly marked as safe, making it harder to guarantee gluten-free status without direct staff confirmation.
- Positive experiences often mention staff knowledge and willingness to accommodate, but there is no explicit, comprehensive protocol documented for cross-contamination prevention across the entire menu.
