Celiac safety assessment and key features
Parkshore Grill offers a touch of St. Pete elegance with a menu that—at first glance—seems surprisingly celiac-friendly, thanks to clear GF markings and staff who often know their stuff. But here's the rub: there's no dedicated gluten-free facility or fryer, and reports about kitchen protocols run the gamut from "they bent over backwards for me" to "I got sick, despite all precautions." If you’re the type who dreads the stress of explaining your needs (again and again), this place can feel hit-or-miss—sometimes you’ll get a server who’s all in, sometimes not. Still, if you’re experienced at advocating for yourself and double-checking every dish, Parkshore’s fresh seafood and steak options can be a treat; just approach with caution and be ready to speak up for your safety.
