"Enjoyed a big lunch of grilled squid, scallops, octopus, mussels, and tried several gluten free desserts. Everything but a couple items on the menu are gluten free. Very accomodating for celiacs. Everything was delicious."
Diana Gordon
"Be careful. Asked if we wanted gluten free bread. We said yes. They then said the whole menu was gluten free so our celiac friend could pick anything. Then the bread came. She ate it. 10 mins later they bring out different bread and say it’s gluten free. We said we already had bread and were told that bread had gluten, that somehow it’s all gluten free except the bread.
Super dangerous. To be avoided."
Graham Tyner
