What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Halibut with mushroom asparagus risotto. A reviewer reported no reactions and described the dish positively.
- Smoked whitefish dip with gluten-free crackers. A reviewer with celiac noted no problems when GF crackers were provided.
- Honey salmon (served with GF-friendly assumptions per menu labeling and reviewer note of not getting sick).
- Gluten-free crackers (as a bread substitute) referenced by guests and noted as part of GF service.
- Items clearly marked GF on the menu are available; reviewers consistently mention menu labeling and staff coordination to prepare GF options safely.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination risk exists in principle.
- Some older reviews describe inconsistent experiences with GF handling, including incidents where GF items were not prepared correctly.
- On the positive side, multiple recent guests report proactive staff behavior (notifying the kitchen, using separate prep spaces, glove changes) and no adverse reactions when ordering GF options.
- Overall, recent evidence suggests improved safety practices, but the risk is never eliminated in a non-dedicated facility.
