What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free labeled meats and vegetables (the menu is clearly labeled with GF options, and staff verify options for safety).
- Gluten-free table sauces (all table sauces are described as gluten-free in several reviews).
- Most marinades for meats are gluten-free (with the notable exception of some teriyaki marinades that are not GF).
- Brown rice is reported as gluten-free by at least one guest experience.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Shared grilling surfaces present potential cross-contact risk if non-GF items are cooked alongside GF items. However, reports frequently note grill-top changes between guests or per-diner grill swaps, which mitigates risk when GF options are prepared carefully.
- A few experiences describe missteps where non-GF items or sauces were involved, or where a dish was later deemed not GF after a staff escalation. One case involved miscommunication about GF status of a soup and other dishes, and another noted cross-contact risk with fried items in a fryer.
- Some reviews emphasize the importance of confirming with staff about which items are GF, especially for any items that might be prepared with shared equipment.
