| - I was at Oliver and Bonacini few weeks ago with girlfriend, her mother, and my mother for a Sunday brunch. I enjoy the ambiance of the restaurant; however I have never been blown away with the food. I myself have a lot of allergies, and made them very clear to the server. I am a Chef myself and can generally make the decision of what to eat with cross contamination in mind, however when I make my allergies clear to a server, then to get my eggs and mushrooms cooked in butter, to which I made very clear I cannot have, is just disappointing. Even more so disappointing, in my opinion is when a manager comes to apologize for the server's mistake... and that's all they offer. Now I will be eating my remade meal once everyone has finished eating, I am personally fine with that, however the in the service industry if you are to make a mistake of that magnitude, I believe it is upon the establishment to do something more than just an apology. If I had not of been weary of the food I was about to eat, I would have spent the whole day basically bed ridden in pain.
However this is not an entirely bad review, as the food they brought back was good, plain but that's how I unfortunately have to eat when I go out. Allergies can sometimes be a hard thing to cater to, just have to be on the ball about when telling your server to make sure they reiterate your allergies back to you, or clarify with them before they leave the table. If they make the error there is nothing the kitchen can do when they do not know the correct information; and you will be potentially putting yourself at risk.
Everyone else's meal was toughly enjoyed.
