The Black Pearl - Relaxed Dining & Coffee

The Black Pearl in Newport, RI does not have a dedicated gluten-free menu or dedicated fryer, and staff responses vary. Some reviewers report that the chef will accommodate coeliac requests and substitute items, while others found the staff unwilling to mark the menu and offering only limited verbal selections. Cross-contamination is a known risk, especially with potatoes. Calling ahead to discuss needs with the chef is advisable.

A single reviewer noted that dishes can be made dairy-free by omitting butter and not grilling the bun. No other sources discuss dairy practices, so calling ahead to confirm is recommended.
