🍽️ What you can eat here

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

✅ Reported safe options

  • Chips with guacamole (frequently cited as a gluten-free starter option)
  • Fried grouper with fries (explicitly described as safe in at least one recent visit)
  • Truffle fries (noted to be prepared in a dedicated fryer)
  • Cheesy dream puffs (gluten-free in multiple reports)
  • Gluten-free cookies from the cookie bar (gluten-free cookies noted at the dessert bar)
  • Gluten-free fried chicken tenders and similar fried fare (many reports indicate GF preparation is feasible)

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • The facility is not a dedicated gluten-free kitchen. Cross-contamination risk can exist, particularly with items traditionally cooked in shared spaces (e.g., pizzas, certain crab cakes).
  • A few recent experiences describe gluten-related illness after dining, underscoring that even with good intentions, safety isn’t absolute for every guest.
  • Some items may be safe only with careful staff guidance; others are explicitly flagged as higher risk depending on preparation (e.g., oven-use for pizza, certain shared cooking methods).
