Nubb’s Lobster Shack

The lobster roll was a triumph of flavors, with succulent chunks of lobster nestled in a perfectly toasted, buttery roll. The combination of sweet and savory elements danced on my taste buds, leaving me longing for more. The shrimp roll was equally delightful, boasting plump, well-seasoned shrimp that provided a delightful contrast in texture. However, the crab roll, while enjoyable, didnt quite reach the heights of its counterparts, with a flavor that fell slightly short of expectations.but overpriced.

Great view! We got a bunch of small dishes and split them and it was the perfect amount of food.

We went to Nubbs for the igloo/Snowglobe experience. We rented the Snowglobe for 2 hours and ordered food, the total cost of the experience was over $400. Though food items on the menu were marked as gluten free, and assured by kitchen staff they were gluten free, that was not the case. Though items in the menu at Nubbs are marked gluten free, and the kitchen assured us they were gluten free, they are not. There is a very high likelihood there was cross contamination in the preparing of the food members of my party ate, or there was gluten in the food marked gluten free, thus resulting in someone with celiac disease (severe gluten allergy) to be glutened and become very ill after eating at Nubbs. The member of my party with celiac disease informed our server that he has celiac disease/a gluten allergy as soon as menus were provided and asked for assurance twice that the items marked as gluten free were in fact gluten free. Both times our waitress went in to the kitchen to confirm this. He selected clam chowder and fish and chips, both marked as gluten free on the menu. He also asked for assurance that the GF items were not fried in the same fryer as items that contain gluten (ie chicken tenders, etc. that have a gluten breading). Our server checked with kitchen staff twice to ensure this; we were told there would be no cross contamination. However, after eating the gluten free food items at Nubbs the member of my party with celiac disease got very ill. When they inadvertently consume gluten, they vomit for 24+ hours. We had a late, hearty lunch so we did not eat anything else after eating at Nubbs. I contacted The Cliff House about this incident and have not received a response from restaurant staff. This happened on March 23, 2024, I am leaving this public review on April 7, 2024 due to no outreach/response from The Cliff House. Allergen awareness is really important for all food allergies. Folks may not go into anaphylaxis from consuming gluten, but they can have other significant allergic reactions. We enjoyed our igloo experience, but it was very disappointing the member of my party was glutened given the total cost of the event, igloo rental and lunch, was over $400 and that he was diligent in advocating for himself to ensure the items he selected were gluten free. I was hopeful we would rent an igloo in the nicer weather, but he will likely not come because of this cross contamination incident. If you or a member of your party have an allergy, especially a gluten allergy, I would NOT recommend going to Nubbs Restaurant at the Cliff House. They are NOT allergen friendly. Dietary restrictions: Not gluten free, though marked gluten free options on the menu
