Lenny & Joe's Fish Tale might feel like a bit of a homecoming for gluten-free seafood lovers, especially if you grew up heading here before your diagnosis. Their menu features plenty of broiled and sautéed seafood dishes that can be prepared gluten-free, and staff seem knowledgeable and willing to accommodate special requests—I've even heard a few stories about separate prep for sautéed items. But, here's the rub: this isn't a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, and there's no dedicated fryer, so cross-contact is a real risk. For celiacs who are highly sensitive, I'd tread carefully—it's one of those spots where you have to advocate for yourself and ask all the questions, but the potential for a safe, satisfying seafood meal is there if you're vigilant.
