Celiac safety assessment and key features

78%
Good

You know what? There’s something reassuring about dining at Mar’s when you live with celiac—word is, the owner himself has celiac disease, and that knowledge shines through in how the staff approach gluten-free diners. The menu is impressively marked, with a wide array of GF choices (think: crab cakes, tempura fish & chips, and those hand-cut sage fries), but it’s not a dedicated facility, so there’s always a bit of that background worry about shared spaces. While many regulars rave about the safety and care, there’ve been a few mixed signals—some subtle reactions reported, especially around fried items. If you’re craving variety and want to feel seen, Mar’s delivers, but as always with shared kitchens, it pays to have a candid chat with your server and keep your celiac radar up.
