Casual Dinner in Montauk

With the end of the school year approaching, and the weather finally feeling like Summer, I was anxious to have a fun summery dinner.  My family has always loved to go out to Montauk and have dinner at Gosman's, however with my gluten free diet fried clams aren't really an option anymore.  So last night my boyfriend and I went to Gosman's Topside Inlet Cafe upstairs, instead of the clam bar downstair where we used to go.  Not only was the view incredible and the food delicious, but the service was great!!
 We sat at the bar, and the bartender was very knowledgeable about the menu and more than willing to check with the chef about anything I was considering ordering.  I always hate when I say "I'm allergic to gluten" and the server looks at me like I'm speaking a different language, so it was very comforting when he understood what I was talking about right away.  He even checked to see if I would be able to eat what Sean ordered in case I wanted to try his.  However, Sean was very excited to have a night where he didn't have to eat gluten free and sadly I couldn't eat what he ordered. It really didn't matter thought because my meal was more than enough.  I decided on the Seafood Cobb Salad and it was delicious!!! It came with a vinaigrette dressing on the side which he thought should be fine, but he also brought me oil and vinegar as I had requested just to be on the safe side.  The seafood (Shrimp and lump crab meat) tasted really fresh, and the avocado and bacon really topped it off nicely!

After dinner we tried the new frozen yogurt place called Buddha Berry.  Being that they seemed really health conscious I was a little disappointed that they didn't have the gluten free flavors labled.  However, when I asked they were very friendly and offered to check the ingredients list of all the flavors.  They had several flavors (sorry I forgot to count) and only two had wheat ingredients in them. They also had a ton of really great toppings. Including but not limited to: puffed quinoa, flax seed, fresh fruit, nuts, and various candies.  I decided on the Greek Berry yogurt topped with almonds, chocolate chips, and fresh strawberries.  

All in all we had a great night with great food!! And both places we went to really made me feel comfortable about eating their food with out having to worry about being "glutened".
