What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Shrimp and Grits — GF option with no signs of cross-contamination reported in at least one recent account.
- Grilled Seafood Trio — GF options are clearly marked on the menu, per a diner’s report.
- Vilano grouper (GF adaptation reported by some sources) — described as GF by swapping orzo for yellow rice in at least one account.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The establishment is not listed as a dedicated gluten-free facility, which means cross-contamination risk cannot be ruled out.
- A recent visit described a long wait for service with a reassurance of “gluten-free I promise,” highlighting potential gaps in communication and process.
- While there are GF-menu markings and some staff awareness, inconsistent experiences suggest that safety may depend on the specific server and kitchen communication on any given day.
