Review of Joe's Crab Shack

I have many other allergies on top of a gluten intolerance, so I still cannot use the gluten free menu. I listed all my allergies and all the questions I had about which allergies I was concerned about for different parts of the dish. My waitress never wrote the allergies or questions down even though I asked many times. The food was brought to us by someone else, and came with a sauce on the side which I was still unsure about for my other allergies, so I asked again. That waiter asked our waitress and she came back to me, sighed, and said "you need to do your own research before you come" even though some of my allergies (garlic and bell peppers) are not listed on restaurant menus, even online. I'm lucky to not be terribly sensitive to cross-contamination, but I don't trust them at all.
