Riley's Fish Shack

We went to this little restaurant on the beach for lunch. The location is truly suggestive: you practically eat with your feet in the sand. However, apart from a few fixed tables (8-10 seats maximum) and the service counter, customers have to make do by collecting deckchairs and tables to place on the beach wherever they find most comfortable. Orders work in “Starbucks” style: you leave your name, and then the waiter walks around the umbrellas trying to figure out where you are to bring you the food. A nice and informal system, but decidedly inefficient. We reported the presence of a celiac person in the group: initially they reassured us, saying that each dish could be prepared in a gluten-free version with some modifications. When ordering, however, we were told that more than half of the dishes were not adaptable. The waitress didn't seem very knowledgeable about celiac disease and the very small open kitchen gave no guarantees about the absence of cross-contamination. That said, the food is really good: generous portions, intense flavors and well spiced. Not particularly recommended for those suffering from celiac disease, the risk of contamination cannot be underestimated in my opinion.

such good food. Came for my birthday and had an amazing time. It just really, really expensive to eat with paper cutlery. I also have celiac disease and was ok here 👍
