Best effort ·what tier C means

The menu lists gluten-free pasta as a substitute option. Reviewers say staff can accommodate gluten-free requests, for example grilling fish instead of frying or changing gloves. However, the venue is NOT a dedicated gluten-free facility, has no gluten-free menu, and shares a kitchen with many gluten-containing dishes such as pizza, baguettes, and croutons. Cross-contact risk is unmanaged beyond occasional glove changes. The restaurant is best for confident, non-coeliac gluten-sensitive diners who can clearly communicate their needs. Coeliacs should call ahead and ask detailed questions about dedicated equipment.

Honest caveat: Explicitly marked 'NOT a dedicated gluten-free facility' and warned it 'may not be safe for those with celiac disease' on FindMeGlutenFree.
