Safety Overview

Celiac safety assessment and key features

65%
Moderate

St. Anselm isn’t a dedicated gluten-free space, but you’ll find the staff genuinely attentive if you’re upfront about your celiac needs—they’ll clean the grill, switch gloves and tongs, and do their best to avoid cross-contact when you ask. The steakhouse menu leans naturally gluten-light (think juicy hanger steak, fingerling potatoes, and that dreamy spinach gratin), though there are landmines like bread, crostini, and aioli you’ll want to steer clear of. There’s no official gluten-free menu or written protocol, so you’ll need to advocate for yourself and keep an eye out—especially since they sometimes toast bread on the same grill. Still, the kitchen’s willingness to accommodate and the abundance of naturally gluten-free options make it a rare treat for celiacs craving a classic Brooklyn steakhouse vibe—just come prepared to chat with your server and maybe peek at the open kitchen yourself.
