Beverly-Jane Perry

Chef Emma created a fabulous Thanksgiving meal, served by the most pleasant and helpful staff. The service was excellent, the food was great for our gluten-free, vegan -adjacent diets!! I’d give more stars if I could!!

Jacqueline Loiseau

Amazing spot! The GF IPA was so good we went to buy some at the liquor store after dinner! My husband and I had the burger and pizza and would never guess they were both GF!

Jacqueline Loiseau

Very knowledgeable staff for allergies. I got the fish tacos and when I asked the waitress about switching the sauce from a dairy one she had an amazing recommendation! The tacos came as a rice bowl for GF and had an allergy notice indicated on my meal. Amazing place!

Becca Olach

Found a gluten free option for lobster roll, so happy we came here!

Joanne Dicicco

We arrived five minutes after one but the person behind the counter said read the sign,very disappointed! People just walked out with a box in there hand.

Lisa McComiskey

The food was good and it had many g/f options. My daughter is celiac and told the waitress many times before ordering that she has an allergy. They then brought her food on a non gluten free bun. The waitress said “my bad” which then left my daughter to eat alone because they had to remake her food . This leaves a bad taste in your mouth. She never apologized, nothing. I was very disappointed. If you have an allergy beware, they don’t take it seriously.

David Stock

One of the few seafood places that you can take your gluten intolerant friends! Very good seafood!

Daniel Cox

Incredible food and atmosphere. Broad gluten free options, and incredible service by Cassidy B. Thank you!

Shonna Kracinski

Amazing place to eat! Gluten free and vegan options. Dedicated fryer, fries are yummy! Gluten free bun with my burger and they sell gf pizza too! My family loved their food too!

Joseph LaChance

Dedicated Gluten Free Fryer/Kitchens space. Love the Sea Basket!!!

jennifer billings

All of their fried foods are gluten free!!!! Yay! Game changer for our son.

Megan Lewia

Went here with my best friend after Christmas shopping. She has celiac and we both wanted tacos. This has hands down the freshest most delicious tacos we’ve ever had. Our server, who also seemed to be the bartender, was super attentive and kept our waters full without asking. We will be coming back!

Laurie Theriault

GLUTEN-FREE!!! YAAAAY!! I had a sausage and onion gluten-free pizza that was delicious and French fries that were sooo good! So nice to find a place that has gluten-free that tastes good!!!

Marz Kay

Love this place.

Amanda Gautreaux

Great for celiac's

Tessa Hathaway

So lucky to have such an amazing BBQ place locally! Their pulled pork is incredible. Fries are the best around. OG sauce is to die for. Nearly everything is gluten free which is a huge bonus for us.

Genevieve Benites

Have severe gluten intolerance and this place was incredible and accommodating. How many places can you say have gluten free breaded chicken and options for pizza, burger buns and sandwich buns? Well they do and it’s very tasty. Had the boneless wings, garlic bread and a chicken sandwich so far. Honestly willing to come back for all the different gluten free options again! Absolutely delicious and highly recommend their chicken.

Becca Olach

Cool Portland hotspot, has lots of seafood options. I am gluten free and had some choices there! Staff is accommodating to allergies!

Jessica Kimball

Always 5 star food!!!!! We've been multiple times and it still impresses us. Recently had flux style oysters and I was in awe! I didn't realize how much better a plain raw oyster could get! The Asian salad has an amazing dressing with light heat and high quality sprouts and veggies with a perfect combo of the thin rice pasta (can't remember the exact term used for the kind of pasta) Steak frites on the wilted green combined with hand cut fries is SO good. I was pleasantly surprised how tasty the greens were. My partner had their rabbit special with house made pasta and he was in love. The cheese cake is so yummy and I love it is a gluten free option. A recent dessert special was tiramisu and cannoli and my partner said it was the best canoli and tiramisu he's ever had!!! We love the berry spritzers altho not a fan of the taste of a paper straw. Would love to have a plastic option or glass. My only downside to this place is I'm not a fan of their water options. Tap water does not taste good to me and not a fan of the sparkling water option myself. I'd love to see Saratoga water at this place!

Not your average nurse 21

Old school pizza place feel, great pizza and everyone is always so nice! Hands down the best pizza in the area! My only issue is anything from the fryer is strictly gluten free. Gave it a shot with the gluten free mozzarella sticks. Not a fan but if you want pizza, this is the best option around! If they got another fryer for items with gluten, I’d never order anywhere else. Can’t fault them though for sticking to that.

Make a reservation! Lovely place. High prices but Very good service and food. Gluten free marked on menu. Really good drinks and also cappuccino. Gluten free fish and chips fried in dedicated fryer. Calamari was the best I have had. It cost us a lot to get out of there but we loved it. View of the ocean while eating. Would go back when in the area. Thanks for the great experience!

Jen Ball

Great atmosphere! Made a reservation via Opentable for a late lunch. Wide range of food option for the size of menu. Lots of gluten free options available such as pizza dough, buns, and they use a separate fryer for fries. All good pictured we got GF. Staff was very helping in finding out information on our food allergies to ensure our meal was safe! GF potato pizza was delicious. The crust was very herb’y. GF bun was actually soft! We enjoyed the BBQ chicken sandwich but did ask for more sauce as it was a bit dry overall. Fries were delicious. House chips and onion dip were great! Savory and GF.

David Morrison

We visited this place for the first time during our trip to Portland and were impressed by the view of the docks from the second-floor patio. When we returned a year later, we were happy to be back and sat in the same spot. It was a pleasant surprise to find that they had gluten-free options as our son is recently diagnosed with celiac disease. We were delighted to have a variety of choices that catered to his dietary needs.

Tara Stapleton

Great staff atmosphere food gluten free options and dog friendly!!!! AWESOME

Kelsey Babcock

Really nice casual lunch! We ate outside and looked out at the water. I got a lobster roll with old bay fries (delicious!) and my partner enjoyed the fish and chips. All their fried items are gluten free which was super exciting for my partner! Not sure it would work for someone with celiac’s but it was perfect for us.

Kate Feeney

I was sadly disappointed with this restaurant. Service was ok, our waitress definitely had too many tables so we couldn’t order anything else but that is to no fault of her. The biggest issue here was the fried food. I ordered a chicken sandwich (gluten free) which I was very excited for since few to no restaurants in the area serve GF fried food. The breading was black, and tasted like straight burnt oil. I tried my best on the sandwich but it left a nasty taste in my mouth and was absolutely not worth it. Please change your frying oil more frequently 😭

Molly McCown

The best tasting espresso I've had in Portland - don't sleep on this! Homemade corn tortillas and knowledge of Celiac. Cocktails are unique, staff are chill, and tacos are delicious. Thank you for the quality experience!

Steve Kundrat

An enjoyable lunch that I’ve been looking forward to. Broiled haddock with scallops. Requested double broccoli in lieu of potato side. Also requested gluten free option (usually comes with a crumb topping). Meal was pleasant and the cost was reasonable.

Reeny M

I have celiac disease and have to eat gluten-free. They have gluten-free fish and chips, fried clams and scallops. Lots 9f gluten-free options. Great, fast service, friendly staff.

Tons of gluten free options, gluten free fryer, and super allergy friendly overall (even for folks with seafood allergies). Beautiful view, super AWESOME STAFF, a great time, can't wait to visit again!

Iancu Burdăruş

simply delicios, fresh and they have a great selection of gluten free products and vegan !

Robyn Baccei

Waitstaff was great! Super friendly and knowledgeable about gluten free options! We will definitely be back!

Angela Quirion

This place has an extensive breakfast and lunch menu with interesting sharable items! They also cater to people with allergies and plainly list what can be made vegan and gluten free! I highly recommend the breakfast bowl-their veggie sausage is gluten free! For those of you who enjoy bringing a well-behaved pup along they have a nice patio, but do call ahead because patio space is limited. Outside feel free to play corn hole, or other outside games that are set up. On Sundays they have a live jazz band playing from 9-noon!

Merissa Welch

Love this place. It's been around a long time for a good reason. I needed gluten-free, and they could make any sandwich without the bread. Fries are also made in a dedicated fryer. I had steak, onion, and cheese, and it was grilled perfectly. Recommend the sweet sauce, too. The owner is well versed in celiac disease.

Heidi Dolomont

Everything was perfect! I'm celiac and had an amazing meal with no reactions! They had lots of gluten free options and waitress answered all my questions. It blew my mind what I had to chose from. This was my second time eating there. I had gf breaded chicken fingers with homemade fries. Perfect! They breaded themselves. Thry have a dedicated fryers for gluten free items. Next time trying the clams! Also, had gf pizza or on menu. Exvellent service and fast. Reasonable prices and took leftovers home. We went about 1 after lunch crowd. I do try since gf to go to restaurants at slower times. Last time was noisey but not at all this time. Thank you so much! Can't wait to go again!

Stephane Vaudreuil

It's not a 5-star restaurant but an excellent paterie! Generous and gluten-free portion for the fries. Poutine with gravy type sauce is very good for an American poutine. Not the cheapest around but probably the best. This is a must stop during your visit.
