Vola’s Dockside Grill and Hi-Tide Lounge

My sister and I went here for her birthday brunch. They really made a great effort to accommodate my gluten allergy—we got the crab dip appetizer, and they gave us celery and carrot sticks in addition to the crackers at no additional charge. Also, when we ordered the shrimp and grits to share as an entree, our server offered to have the kitchen plate it in two dishes rather than us sharing a plate. I was blown away by the customer service, the quality of the food, and the ambience of dining at Volas. I will definitely be coming back.

Food was fabulous! Great ambience and our service was very friendly and knowledgeable. Just a couple minor hiccups - I ordered the shrimp tacos but unfortunately they were half corn half flour - I was hoping there would be more gluten free options. Also my mother ordered the strawberry salad which was apparently amazing, but she added a chicken breast which had some sort of curry seasoning on it - she said was a weird flavor on the salad. Final qualm is that we were told it would be a 50 min wait for the patio. After 60 mins we checked on our spot in line and they told us they gave our table away because they attempted to call us but didn’t get an answer - we did not get any phone calls. We had to wait an Additional 15 mins which was a bummer. At least the food came quickly. We’ll likely try this place out again.

Not many gluten free options! Just one entree and a few of the plain seafood appetizers. If you’re gluten free, there’s better options in the area. Pretty standard American seafood. Our waitress was lovely though.
