Excellent

Cap City Fine Diner is a rare comfort-food haven where celiacs can finally let their guard down and order those nostalgic diner classics—think fish & chips, burgers, and even cinnamon rolls—without the looming anxiety of cross-contact. The kitchen features dedicated gluten-free fryers, a robust separate GF menu, and staff who don't just know the lingo but actually flag and communicate allergy orders with real care. While it's not owned by someone with celiac, the place has built a reputation for treating gluten-free safety as a serious craft, consistently earning trust from diners who've felt left out for far too long. Honestly, it’s the kind of spot where you might feel that rare, almost-forgotten sense of normalcy at the table—now that's something to savor.
