What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Chateaubriand Beef (gluten-free)
- Prime Rib (gluten-free)
- Macadamia nut encrusted halibut (gluten-free)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, which means cross-contamination is a potential concern. Staff can take precautions, but the lack of a GF-dedicated setup means risk is never fully eliminated.
- There are multiple reports of diners having strong, positive experiences with staff guiding substitutions and avoiding cross-contact; a few more critical notes exist where a dish or sauce contained gluten despite assurances. This underscores the importance of clear, explicit communication with servers about sensitivity level and ingredients.
- Some items and sauces (in general) may include gluten or gluten-containing sauces unless specifically avoided or substituted, so ongoing vigilance is essential.
