The lunch menu clearly marks many items with a 'Vegetarian' icon. The kitchen is shared with meat dishes, and there is no information about whether vegetarian items are prepared separately. Calling ahead is advised for those concerned about cross-contact with vegetarian requirements.

The Bauer Kitchen provides a separate "Gluten Friendly" menu that includes several gluten-free options such as flatbread, croutons, and buns. A community directory notes the presence of dedicated appliances and trained staff, and a review confirms that a server proactively checked dietary needs. That same menu, however, also lists gluten-containing dishes like calamari and tempura, which suggests a shared kitchen. Some risk of cross-contamination is noted. This setup is best for those who can tolerate possible trace gluten.

The venue is transparent about this, advising diners to decide what feels safe for them. If you're highly sensitive, talk to staff before ordering.
