The tall tables are rough for disabled people but at least there is a long ramp that is pretty usable for the entrance. Gluten free buns, great burger, nice vibes

I can’t say enough good things about our experience at S&P Oyster on New Year’s Day. We chose to celebrate our wedding with a big group of 16, and it turned out to be the perfect decision. From the moment we walked in, everything was top-notch even on a holiday First off, our server, Kev, was amazing. I honestly don’t know how he kept his cool with so many requests flying at him all night, but he did it with a smile, a sense of humor, and a level of professionalism that made the whole evening feel effortless. We had people with dietary restrictions— like gluten and dairy allergies—and Kev made sure everything was taken care of without any fuss. The menu offered a whole host of both vegan and gluten free options and Kev worked directly with the kitchen to make sure every dish was tailored to accommodate those needs, and it really helped us relax and enjoy the meal without any stress. The food was out of this world. Everything from the appetizers to the mains to the desserts was incredible. There was a great variety of options, which was such a relief, especially when you’re dealing with so many different preferences and dietary needs. Our group really was blown away by everything we ordered from the apps to dessert, the food here was really a hit! The atmosphere was intimate and beautiful while remaining welcoming, which made it easy for everyone to enjoy themselves and feel comfortable. The staff didn’t rush us, which I really appreciated—our group can be a bit chatty, and we were there to linger, enjoy the food, and celebrate, so it was nice that they let us take our time. Everything just clicked—great food, fantastic service, and an atmosphere that really let us savor the moment. It’s not easy pulling off a large group celebration with so many moving parts, but S&P Oyster, especially Kev, nailed it. I can’t recommend it enough, especially if you're looking for a place that goes above and beyond to make sure everyone feels taken care of. Kev deserves a special shoutout for being an absolute pro and making sure our wedding celebration went off without a hitch. Thanks to this experience, we plan on returning frequently!

Rio Salado has great food and much of it is gluten free. The chips are made in a dedicated fryer. My daughter has celiac and traveling is always stressful but not this time!

We stayed across the street & decided to try it instead of the “other” pizza place in Mystic. Our server Jessica was awesome & shared that it had been in the Hallmark movie “Mystic Christmas.” We had a white pizza, a bootlegger pizza & a 1/2 & 1/2 topping gluten-free pizza. If you have to do GF this one will make you happy!

Gluten-free eaters, beware. I have Celiac Disease. I can’t have gluten, full stop. When I walked into Red 36, I saw a sign on the wall identifying not only the 9 major food allergies, but also the safe handling practices a kitchen should follow for each one. Great! This is a sign that tells people with intolerances that we will be taken care of here. Once seated, I told the waitress about my intolerance, and she immediately brought me a gluten-free menu. Another good sign. I ordered the gluten-free tuna burger, which (according to the gluten-free menu) is supposed to omit the bun, fries, and anything else containing gluten. When my plate came out with fries, I knew something was off. I asked the waitress, and she apologized, confirmed that the fries were not gluten-free and offered to bring me a side salad instead. Separately, I started eating the tuna, but was surprised to find (buried beneath the fish and a pile of coleslaw) crispy egg noodles. I stopped eating and again asked the waitress if my order was gluten free. She returned to the kitchen and informed me that, (1) the crispy noodles were not gluten free, (2) despite having apparently put “gluten free” on my order, the whole meal was not gluten free, (3) the same thing happened at the table next to ours, despite having notified the kitchen accordingly. So, having unknowingly eaten gluten, I now have to wait out a week or more of painful symptoms of my Celiac Disease. I expect a lot more from restaurants that purport to exercise care for people with food allergies. It’s one thing if a kitchen is not equipped to cook according to dietary restrictions—I can manage my expectations. It is quite another when a restaurant is equipped to safely serve people with intolerances, communicates this to the patrons, and then fails to do so twice in a matter of an hour. There’s a lot of trust I have to put into restaurants, and I regret doing so in this instance. I’m beyond grateful that my intolerance doesn’t send me into anaphylaxis. I hope that, wherever the breakdown happened between ordering and serving, it gets resolved before other folks with food intolerances get sick. TL;DR gluten free diners, proceed with caution.
