Safety Overview

Celiac safety assessment and key features

60%
Moderate

Bristol Seafood Grill walks a fine line for gluten-free diners: there's a separate gluten-free menu, and staff are often described as knowledgeable and willing to double-check ingredients, which can be reassuring when you’re used to playing 20 questions with every meal. But let's be honest—this is a shared kitchen, with fresh bread baked in-house and no dedicated fryer, so cross-contamination is always lurking. Some guests have felt heard and well-cared-for, while others experienced symptoms or left uneasy after reading the disclaimers and noticing a lack of clear protocols. If you're celiac and especially sensitive, the risk might outweigh the reward; for those who are less reactive but still need solid options, the careful preparation of simple seafood or steak dishes could make for an enjoyable (if cautious) night out.
