What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free soups (examples mentioned in reviews: mushroom soup, seafood chowder, soup of the day)
- Gluten-free salads (labeled as GF on the menu)
- Nachos prepared with gluten-free chips (noted in reviews as part of GF options)
- Gluten-free beverage option mentioned (cider)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not a dedicated gluten-free facility, which raises baseline cross-contact concerns.
- Shared kitchen dynamics and limited explicit cross-contamination controls are not described in detail.
- Some items (e.g., soups) come with bread by default, which requires explicit instruction to avoid gluten.
- Several reviews emphasize staff knowledge about gluten-free needs, but others note limited GF options (e.g., no GF buns for sandwiches) and occasional gluten-related issues in the dining experience.
- Overall, there is supportive evidence for GF options, but non-dedicated facilities and bread-with-soup practices represent measurable risk factors.
