What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free pasta dishes (examples include gluten-free penne vodka and gluten-free rigatoni alla vodka)
- Fries prepared in a dedicated gluten-free fryer
- Oysters
- Salmon
- Steak
- Caesar salad (naturally GF when croutons are not used)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant does not operate a dedicated gluten-free facility, which means cross-contact risk is possible in a busy kitchen.
- While many guests report red-flag alerts and manager-chef checks, the absence of a formal GF menu means you’ll need to communicate clearly with your server and ask for kitchen confirmation on each item.
- Some diners have noted limited GF bread options, which can affect meals that typically rely on bread components.
- Most recent experiences emphasize proactive communication and explicit safety steps, but as with any non-dedicated facility, there is inherent risk if corner-cutting occurs during peak times or with complex orders.
