What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free bread rolls are explicitly referenced as safe by multiple diners.
- Some soups/chowders (notably clam chowder in the supporting evidence) are described in context of gluten-free preparation when prepared GF.
- If you’re considering dishes, it’s best to rely on the server’s guidance to identify items that can be prepared gluten-free and to confirm cross-contact precautions for each dish.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility. That means cross-contact is possible, even when dishes are prepared gluten-free.
- Some reviewers note cross-contact considerations with particular components (for example, avoidance steps or substitutions were needed for certain dishes). The safest approach is to have explicit, in-person confirmation with the server and kitchen about your specific tolerances and to opt for clearly communicated accommodations.
- While recent experiences have been positive, older reviews remind us that experiences can vary by dish and staff.
