What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Allergy menu item (choices include steak, fish, or chicken with zoodles, cherry tomatoes, basil, and balsamic drizzle) — described as designed to be free of cross-contact.
- Allergy fish of the day — prepared separately to minimize cross-contact; marketed as a cross-contact–free option.
- Allergy salmon with veggies — specifically identified as safe in at least one recent report.
- GF chocolate torte — a gluten-free dessert option mentioned in multiple accounts.
- Feta dip appetizer with carrots for dipping — cited by a diner as a safe, gluten-free option when requested.
- Items clearly labeled as gluten-free on the menu — a recurring theme in recent experience, with staff guidance to stay within the allergy offerings.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, and there is no dedicated GF fryer noted in the collected information.
- Some older feedback points to variability in staff knowledge, though more recent experiences heavily emphasize staff training, allergy labeling, and cross-contact safeguards.
- As with any dining option where cross-contact is possible, it’s wise to explicitly discuss the allergy program with staff before ordering and to choose allergy-menu items or clearly labeled GF dishes when possible.
