Strongly trusted ·what tier A means

The menu marks gluten-free options with (GF) on dishes like the Shrimp & Grits and Crispy Octopus. A dedicated gluten-free fryer is used, and staff are noted for being knowledgeable about coeliac needs—one reviewer said the owner's wife has coeliac so they 'totally get it.' However, the kitchen is shared (not a dedicated gluten-free facility), and one diner reported a reaction after a waiter brought a glutened dessert. Coeliac diners are safest when they clearly state their allergy to the server and confirm the dish is prepared with care.

Limited information ·what tier E means

One menu item (Wild Mushroom Pappardelle) carries a (VEG) tag on the official menu. There is no mention of dedicated equipment, staff training for vegan prep, or any other dishes labelled vegan. This thin signal suggests the kitchen can likely accommodate a vegan request if prompted, but there is not enough information to assess how carefully cross-contamination is managed. Call ahead to confirm.
