⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not dedicated gluten-free, so cross-contact risk cannot be entirely ruled out.
- The Allergen/Gluten-Sensitive guidance indicates cross-contact is possible despite precautions, and items may be prepared in shared spaces.
- While many guests report excellent safety with staff actively managing cross-contamination (glove changes, separate prep, and manager involvement), there have been isolated reports over the years noting less optimal experiences. Current patterns show strong safety practices, but ongoing caution is advised.
