| - My family treated me to an afternoon tea at the Terrace Room today for my upcoming wedding. It's a really cute idea; they have a nice selection of teas (vanilla rooibos yum!!), everyone gets three little sandwiches, and then the delicious desserts. Everything was lovely but with one exception that leaves me feeling ehhh. When my mom called to make the reservation, she was asked if there were any dietary restrictions. We do have a dairy allergy in our family, and that was relayed. We had to tell the waiter again prior to ordering, and our milk allergy was still given a sandwich with cheese on it. The sandwiches seem to be pre made (not the most fresh by 3pm), so maybe was really nothing they could do, but that leads me to wonder why even ask about diets when there is no change that you're willing to make? Also, knowing we had the allergy in our party, no changes were made to the desserts, so our allergy girl didn't eat any out of precaution.
Like I said, everything was really lovely and our allergy girl still had a nice time, I just don't understand the dietary issue, and because of that I'm not sure if I would return for tea.
