⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The kitchen is not dedicated gluten-free, so cross-contamination is a potential concern.
- On the positive side, the menu is described as clearly labeled for gluten-free items, and staff are repeatedly described as knowledgeable about gluten-free handling and safety.
- Some diners have noted that gluten-free options are plentiful and that certain dishes are naturally GF; one account mentions a separate fryer, which could mitigate cross-contact in some contexts.
- Given variability, it’s wise to confirm current cross-contact precautions and kitchen practices when dining.
