I was delighted to learn that Luma has many gluten free choices--their tempura, fries, and burger buns are all gluten free and delicious. The water side outdoor space is pleasant on a late afternoon, and our server was personable and efficient. A party of six, we were attended to quickly and politely. I ordered the burger and GF fries, which I loved. Many thanks to Luma's staff and management for supporting GF options! I will be back early and often! I also am eager to try the Shuckery, Luma's sister location, for their GF offerings.
