Excellent choice for gluten free diets. They make everything to order so along with the listed GF items accommodation can be made too. Our waiter was knowledgeable and friendly. Wine list was excellent. Highly recommend.

We often come here for birthday dinners and the food is always quality here and of course the atmosphere and views are great. This past time we did notice a few changes that were kind of frustrating. First most of the cocktails are $18. I obviously know this place is pricey but I still feel like that is outrageous and I do not remember them being $18 the last time we came. They also stopped giving you bread as an appetizer and cited that it’s because so many people are gluten free now that they were wasting money and product. I think reducing waste is great, but annoying if it’s something you look forward to and now it’s $7 if you want any. I feel like a compromise would be just asking the table if they want bread or not. Another thing is if you have a party of 6 or more then they put it all on one check. I’m sure this makes it easier on the waiters but it leaves the diners much more frustrated at the end of the evening trying to divide it all up. I will probably steer my family away from picking caps anymore as a celebration place.

Absolutely love Purple Olive. The food is always amazing and they have lots of gluten free options! I love the braised short rib and the dijon salmon. Both are incredible. We also love that they have gluten free desserts! My favorite restaurant in St. Augustine!

We knew about The wait time before we got there. But we decided to do it anyways. After waiting 2 hours to get in they put us on the balcony outside on the second floor. It was freezing cold. I told her waitress this wasn't going to work. A few minutes later they cleared off a table and put us inside where it was nice and cozy. Me and my wife each got a jambalaya. Harry's makes the best jambalaya. Then we ended with a big slice of key lime pie which was so delicious and gluten-free. The jambalaya isn't listed as gluten-free but I had no reaction to it. The service was amazing. Our server would come over to check on us periodically and join in conversation with us. I will definitely be going back again someday. But in the meantime I also love the hairy seafood in Gainesville or the one in Ocala too.

Such a quaint place. Felt like I was eating in a home somewhere in Italy. Wonderful, personalized and intuitive service from Ann Marie. All four of us had seafood and were very happy. The table next to us ordered an extra large pizza. It looked so good that we called in a to go order a couple days later. One of the top pizzas we’ve ever had. I ordered a gluten free pizza, it was one of the best I’ve ever eaten! This is our go-to restaurant in Crescent Beach. Thank you Viola’s for providing such a great experience for your customers!

Our family has a vacation house in Palm Coast and this is our second visit. We hop around to places during our visit around the area. I ran across Salt Life because of the outdoor area and live music. We ate out almost every meal for 7 days and this was our last meal. My husband, my mom and I all agreed it was the best meal we had on our trip. I got a chicken sandwich and my mom got the same one but off of the gluten free menu (another big reason we picked here). The server, Samuel was so polite and we got to talk to him briefly. He was prompt and knowable with the food. Was super helpful and gave us good recommendations when we asked what we should get. My husband had a burger and it looked amazing he ate the whole thing. Drinks were also good. Of course had to end the night with some salt life merch! lol highly recommend and ask for Samuel as well!

Vey very disappointed with the seriousness taken with food allergies. I am thankful we caught the carelessness before my children ate their food. My children have celiac disease & are gluten free because of this. I also explained this to our server. We ordered the shrimp & grits that is listed as a “gluten free option”. I explained that we need the item to be gluten free due to their gluten allergy. When our food was delivered the “gluten free” shrimp & grits was served with cornbread on the side of the bowl. I asked our server if the bread was gluten free & she replied that she was pretty sure it was…. Well it is not. Besides obvious cross contamination issues a gluten item should not be a side item on the same bowl as a gluten free entree. I spoke with the manager and she said she would talk with the kitchen staff and the employee would be reprimanded & that she had tried previously to have the cornbread removed. My son would have easily been hospitalized if we had not caught this. We will not be back & I am hoping the staff and kitchen staff will be more cautious & careful with allergies. This is beyond carelessness & unfortunate. I hope this will be taken seriously throughout the restaurant.

Very happy with the gluten/dairy free options. Alex provided excellent service getting me what I wanted!!!

Aubrey Palmer

This is an excellent restaurant if you love Italian food!! I am gluten free and they were able to accommodate very well with fettuccine noodles! My husband ordered the chicken Parmesan and he said it was delicious! We would absolutely be back the next time we are down here!!

Delicious spinach artichoke appetizer! They used to have gluten free pasta, but there are still some great options.

David Cruzado

It was tasty and satisfy. The clam chowder and miñorcan chowder was gluten-free but it does not a separate kitchen. The is bar area and area for dining. The prices are high but still midlevel and comparable - you have to remember this smack in the middle of Saint George Street.
