✅ Reported safe options
- Jumbo Crab Deviled Eggs 21* (gluten-free option)
- Char Siu Baby Back Ribs 20* (gluten-free option)
- Goat Cheese and Squash 17* (gluten-free option)
- Middle Neck Clams on the Half Shell * (gluten-free option)
- The menu clearly marks gluten-free options with an asterisk on several items.
- “Please inform your server of any allergies before ordering” is printed on the menus, which encourages allergy-aware service.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The establishment is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination risk cannot be ruled out.
- Some guests reported cross-contact concerns in their experiences, even when items are marked GF.
- The safest approach is to clearly communicate allergies, verify ingredients with the server/chef, and consider selecting items with explicit GF markings and minimal shared surfaces or to choose options that are less likely to involve gluten-containing components.
