Celiac Safety Score

55
Moderate Safety

Jude's offers a vibrant global cuisine with a diverse menu that appeals to many, but when it comes to gluten-free safety, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. The staff seem to be somewhat versed in gluten-free options, but there's no clear indication of dedicated preparation areas or strict protocols to prevent cross-contamination, especially for celiac diners. While the restaurant is praised for its creative dishes and friendly service, gluten-sensitive guests should approach with caution and ask detailed questions about safety practices.
