A great waterfront restaurant with quite a few gluten free options. Most of the Chef’s Specialties are GF and come with roasted potatoes and green beans. There are also salads. Everything is cooked in a kitchens with a lot of flour and fried foods, so there is risk of cross contamination, but the staff is well trained.

They always have a small amount of GF treats on-hand. The GF blueberry muffins are amazing! You can order GF cupcakes ahead of time for pickup! They have a lot of regular pastries, so if you have a family that can eat both gluten and gluten free this place is a nice option!
