🍽️ What you can eat here

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

✅ Reported safe options

  • Burrata Fig Mostarda (GF*)

  • Jumbo Lump Crab Omelette (GF*)

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • Not a dedicated gluten-free facility, which inherently carries cross-contamination risk.
  • A recent diner experience described gluten-containing couscous in a mussel dish that was ordered as allergy-safe, with gluten-containing bread served alongside the dish. The gluten-containing ingredient remained in the dish and the meal was canceled afterward.
  • While the menu and several staff interactions indicate strong GF awareness, the combination of non-dedicated facilities and this kind of recent incident means caution is still warranted.
