Celiac-Friendly Gem with Amazing Waterfront Drinks! Fresco’s Waterfront Bistro checks all the boxes: celiac-safe menu choices, tasty drinks, and unbeatable views overlooking the water. Their menu clearly marks gluten-free items, and the staff are well-trained to avoid cross‑contamination—glove changes and fresh utensils are standard practice, which is crucial for those of us with celiac. I loved sipping a refreshing cocktail—watermelon‑basil vodka—while taking in the marina breeze . The patio seating right on the water is stunning, complete with pelicans and boats gliding by. Gluten‑free patrons will appreciate satisfying choices beyond just salads—shrimp tacos served gluten‑free and other GF-marked dishes show there's real effort to accommodate us!

I have very severe food allergies to soy, gluten and nuts. Our waitress, Chelsea, was so incredible! She made ordering very simple and easy for me and she was a pleasure overall! I had the wedge salad, 6oz filet, and crème brulee cheesecake and every single thing was delicious!

The food was amazing! I was so caught up in enjoying it that I completely forgot to take a picture. Every dish we had was delicious, and it was great that they had gluten-free options. The prices were also reasonable. I will definitely be returning when I'm in the area again!
