What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free bread for the cheese fondue
- Gluten-free brownies for dessert fondue
- Gluten-free snickerdoodle cookies for dessert fondue
- Gluten-free pound cake for dessert fondue
- General gluten-free dipping options such as fruit and vegetables
- Note: Several reviews mention that most of the menu can be adapted to GF, with careful handling and substitutions as needed. A handful of reviews highlight the existence of two-pots or separate cookware to reduce cross-contact risk.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Sharing a single fondue pot among diners can pose cross-contamination risk if not managed carefully. Many diners explicitly opt for separate pots or entirely GF service for the table to mitigate this.
- There are a few reports of gluten exposure or mixed experiences, typically tied to service lapses or miscommunication. The most common thread among consistently positive reviews is strong staff awareness and clear labeling, but isolated incidents remind us that vigilance is key.
- Guests with severe sensitivities or those newly navigating GF dining are advised to call ahead or request a table with dedicated GF arrangements (own pot, separate dippers, etc.) to maximize safety.
