⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not all accounts confirm a completely dedicated gluten-free kitchen; one reviewer explicitly noted the absence of a GF kitchen, which can raise cross-contamination concerns for highly sensitive individuals.
- Open-kitchen seating and a busy environment can introduce plant- or kitchen-level cross-contact risks in some situations.
- Some reviews mention separate preparation or cooking processes for GF meals (e.g., “cook my food separately”), while others emphasize the presence of a gluten-free fryer and dedicated equipment. This inconsistency means guests should communicate clearly and ask detailed questions about current practices during their visit.
