| - I was looking forward to visiting the Voodoo Lounge. My sister is gluten intolerant and I have a dairy sensitivity so their gluten-free/lactose-free menu sounded like a haven.
Unfortunately, "lactose-free" literally does mean lactose free - not dairy free. So, in the end, it wasn't much different than visiting any other restaurant for me: I couldn't have the LF cheese or some of the wing flavours, for example.
For my sister, it was a nice break from having to eat salads. And the food was good, for what we had. Sweet potato fries were a little lacking, but apparently the wings were a hit (would miss out on the butter garlic and salt & pepper flavours in the future, though) and a chicken burger with mushrooms on it was yummy (and very tall!) The gluten-free garlic toast and deep-fried pickles were also devoured quickly.
Unfortunately, the service left a LOT to be desired. We were quite often left for 15+ minutes at a time, simple beers were a 30-45 minute wait after ordering, the food took over an hour and we ended up not ordering nachos as we were afraid of how long it would take. The venue wasn't very busy so we can't understand why the slow service. In fact, one table came in, sat down and left after 20 minutes when no one had been by to serve them yet.
All in all, I might be back if a group of friends was going, but there are far better places closer to home that I can go and find dairy-free menu items so I won't be going out of my way.
