🍽️ 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.
