✅ Reported safe options
- Pad Thai made with rice noodles (gluten-free)

- Pesto dishes prepared with gluten-free pasta (e.g., shells or fusilli)

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact risk exists.
- Some reviewers explicitly note that cross-contamination cannot be guaranteed, and there have been reports of gluten-related issues in certain situations.
- The strength of precautions is reflected in frequent mentions of staff asking about allergies, using separate cookware, and involving managers to confirm safety—these practices appear consistently in recent experiences.
- Overall safety appears strong when guests communicate clearly and confirm the gluten-free pathway with staff, but the possibility of cross-contact remains a reality for this type of chain location.
