Celiac safety assessment and key features

Excellent

The Grill offers a rare sense of calm for celiacs—it's a 100% gluten-free facility, so you can let your guard down and actually enjoy the meal instead of interrogating every dish. The menu reads like a love letter to classic American favorites, with crab cakes, steak, and that legendary baked cheese—all safe by design. Staff are well-versed in celiac needs, and their allergen protocols shine through attentive service, even if the fryer situation has varied over time (always worth confirming specifics on fried items). It's the kind of place where you don't just eat—you relax, laugh, and savor dessert without a second thought.
