🍽️ What you can eat here

Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.

✅ Reported safe options

  • Gluten-free bread for cheese fondue
  • Gluten-free brownies for dessert
  • Gluten-free snickerdoodle cookies for dipping in chocolate fondue
  • Gluten-free pound cake (mentioned as a GF option in desserts)
  • General gluten-free dipping options (fruits, vegetables, and other dippers) as part of the GF dessert and cheese experiences
  • Ability to substitute out ingredients (e.g., beer in fondue swapped for gluten-free broth) to maintain GF safety

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination remains a factual risk, especially in shared cooking environments.
  • While many reviews emphasize staff training and GF labeling, there are multiple reports of cross-contact or missteps (e.g., serving non-GF items, shared pots, or incorrect dippers) occurring in some visits.
  • A very recent negative experience noted gluten exposure due to incorrect handling, underscoring that safety is highly dependent on precise, ongoing communication and kitchen execution during each visit.
  • Request a dedicated GF setup (own pot, own dipping items) for your table, and confirm this preference at the start of service.
  • Have your server or manager personally confirm each course’s GF status and substitutions before items are prepared or served.
  • If possible, dine with a party choosing GF options too, to reduce cross-contamination risk from shared items.
