What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Lobster roll on a gluten-free bun
- Grouper sandwich on a gluten-free bun
- Fish tacos made with corn tortillas
- Flatbread options marketed as gluten-free (GF flatbread)
- Other GF bun-based sandwiches and seafood dishes advertised on the gluten-free menu ( GF buns available for entrees )
- Yucatán shrimp and other GF menu items that can be served with gluten-free bread or rolls
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Some negative or cautious notes exist, including cases where a gluten-containing ingredient appeared in a dish labeled GF (e.g., croutons on a salad, or cross-contact during busy service).
- Shared fryers have been mentioned in a few reviews, and one older report highlighted a misstep with a dish that included gluten after a kitchen oversight.
- Soy sauce or sauces containing gluten have appeared in some menu items in the past, though staff have, in many instances, checked and warned guests when applicable.
- Overall, the strongest safety signals come from explicit GF menus, staff training, and dedicated equipment, but there is still nonzero risk if the restaurant is very busy or if specific items are not clearly separated in the kitchen.
