What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Atlantic Salmon (grilled) — no gluten ingredients by recipe; safe if cooked on a clean grill
- Today’s Catch – Salmon New Orleans — blackening and Cajun sauce contain no flour; can be celiac-safe when gluten-free ingredients are used
- 7 oz Sirloin — grilled; no gluten-based marinades when prepared on a clean grill
- 6 oz Filet Mignon — grilled; no gluten in the recipe when prepared cleanly
- Live Maine Lobster (Steamed) — steamed with drawn butter; no gluten ingredients
- Classic Maine Lobster Tail — steamed or baked; no batter or gluten-containing sauces
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not dedicated gluten-free; cross-contact is a real concern due to shared equipment, fryers, grills, and prep surfaces.
- Many popular menu sections (Starters, Shrimp, Pastas, Bowls/Sandwiches, Desserts) are flagged as unsafe or problematic for celiacs in the evidence provided.
- Even items that can be prepared safely often require explicit staff coordination to ensure clean surfaces, separate utensils, and avoidance of shared equipment.
- There is documented feedback over the years about navigating allergen menus and the need for explicit labeling on menus; some guests report positive experiences with staff who take the process seriously, while others report inconsistent knowledge.
- In short: there are a few clearly safe choices, but the risk of cross-contamination and miscommunication remains non-negligible.
