Celiac safety profile
The Lexington
American Restaurant
100 N First St Fl 2, Cambridge, MA 02141
What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Fries prepared in a dedicated gluten-free fryer (explicitly noted in multiple accounts as a safety measure).
- Gluten-free desserts mentioned on menus (e.g., a GF dessert option like flan) and GF gelato flavors may be available.
- The presence of a gluten-free menu with staff who can discuss options and modifications, according to several diners.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, which inherently carries cross-contact risk.
- A recent experience (from the past few months) involved a dish that was not gluten-free, with the staff subsequently adjusting and replacing it with a GF version after identifying the issue. This shows both the risk and the capacity for corrective action, but it also highlights that strict separation and verification aren’t foolproof.
- Overall, safety signals exist (gluten-free options, some staff awareness, dedicated fryers in many accounts), but recent negative feedback lowers confidence about consistent, rigorous celiac safety.
