Overall Rating

Review


My family went out for my birthday. I asked for help from our waitress to tell me what items contained or were prepared using gluten and dairy as suggested by the restaurant. Instead of doing this, she simply told me I could have a salad with no toppings. I asked if the steaks were prepared with any butter. She said I could eat the steaks, again not answering if they are prepared in butter. I ordered a steak with no butter and a drink that the menu said was made with Titos vodka (I am sensitive to alcohol made with, distilled through wheat). My steak came with a side of sauce that contained butter and my drink tasted off. The waitress took the sauce from my plate when I asked about its ingredients, no apology. By the end of my steak and two sips of my drink, I did not feel well and knew something was contaminated with either gluten or butter. I learned there is no guarantee you will get waitstaff that are knowledgeable. For me, this was the worst experience I have ever had in a steakhouse of this caliber.
