What you can eat here

✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free bun short rib grilled cheese
- Gluten-free risotto seafood
- Oysters prepared with GF (gluten-free) panko
- Shrimp tacos (noting they can be prepared with corn tortillas; GF-style options)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility.
- Some items (e.g., fries) may be prepared in shared fryers, posing a cross-contact risk.
- Several diners report staff who are knowledgeable and proactive about gluten-free needs, including asking questions and involving the kitchen to ensure safe preparation.
- A pattern of positive experiences is present, but the non-dedicated facility and fryer situation mean you should communicate your needs clearly and confirm any cross-contact precautions with the staff.
