You know what? It’s rare to find a coastal Maine spot where someone with celiac disease is actually running the show—at Nautilus Seafood & Grill, co-owner Mary openly shares her own celiac diagnosis and makes sure the menu reflects that care. The kitchen isn’t 100% gluten-free, but they’ve carved out strict procedures: the grill’s gluten-free, proteins and seafood are cooked in separate pans, and salads are built away from croutons. Fried items are off-limits due to a shared fryer, but there’s a strong list of naturally gluten-free mains, sandwiches on GF buns, and even desserts—plus, servers and chefs seem genuinely tuned in to cross-contact concerns. Sure, it’s not a dedicated facility, but with this level of transparency and a personal stake at the helm, eating here feels like someone finally gets what celiacs need (and deserve) for a safe, satisfying meal by the water.
