What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- The menu features a five-course, course-by-course dinner with GF accommodations frequently highlighted in guest experiences.
- Sauces and marinades are sometimes gluten-free (e.g., tamari instead of soy sauce) in many dishes.
- A gluten-free dessert option is often available, with several reviewers noting GF alternatives.
- Advance notice helps: some sources indicate asking for GF accommodations 24 hours in advance or marking GF on reservation. When GF is noted at booking, servers often tailor the courses accordingly.
- Important caveat: a few courses or components may still contain gluten (bread items, certain desserts), so not every dish is GF by default.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- This venue is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so there is inherent cross-contamination risk compared with true GF-only operations.
- The table-service format and separate plating for courses reduce cross-contamination risk compared with buffet-style Luaus, but it is not guaranteed zero.
- There are occasional reports of non-GF items (bread, certain dessert components) making their way to the table unless guests flag needs explicitly.
- A wildfire-related disruption has affected the business in recent times, which may impact current operations, staffing, or availability. Always verify current status and safety practices before you go.
