    We specifically told the waiter about our nut allergy, which is anaphylactic and they served us sauce with walnuts in it. We ended up in the emergency room. Don’t go here.

    The tomatoes in the salad are completely unripe, white and pink in color. Considering that tomatoes are the basis of a salad, I think that such a presentation is unacceptable. The waiter referred to the off-season, but I don't think that's an argument.
