We had a wonderful meal last night. I had the sea bass and I think it was the best piece of fish I’ve ever had! We can’t wait to come back :)

Absolutely outstanding, celiac-safe meal the The Ocean House in Dennis. High-end, fit for foodie. Beautiful view and exceptional care and attention without me even asking. In my open table reservation I noted Celiac-Gluten Free. Upon being seated, the waitress immediately let me know they were aware of my dietary needs and the kitchen was prepared to make a fully GF no CC meal. I was surprised my note had been taken so seriously (never had that happen before). She explained the menu had * for GF dishes and that most other dishes could be adapted. When I asked about the tuna tartare, I was told they only use Tamari in the restaurant and could replace the crispy wonton with an alternative (which turned out to be baked potato crisps). The red curry lobster dish w pineapple fried rice was flavorful and a generous portion. I had coffee cup ice cream for dessert, which was already GF. The waitress explained the protocol for safe dining, including how they mark each meal on the ticket and with an additional colorful flag so the kitchen can be extra careful with my food. Check out pic of bill that show nit only GF, but no cross contact. The restaurant manager and chef also came to speak with me. The chef shared he has an immediate family member with celiac. And they take all allergies very seriously. They have a dedicated French fry fryer so those would be GG. A separate fryer for seafood too. When they served my husband’s dessert, they put the gluten cookie on the side, in case I wanted to try a bit…. Which I did. Service was exceptional and I have never felt safer and more seen eating out. This was a true treat!!

Ivan was our server. He was absolutely outstanding. His suggestions for dinner options and pairings of wines and beverages absolutely made the night I would highly recommend going to the ocean house and ask for Ivan as your server.
