My husband (who has a shellfish allergy) asked which Dim Sum items had shrimp in them and told the server specifically that he has an allergy and cannot eat them. She told us that the items we selected were fine and did not contain any seafood.\n\nTurns out the SPINACH DUMPLINGS we ordered were actually filled with big hunks of shrimp! We only realized this after my husband ate one, based on the server's menu recommendation.\n\nThe server apologized to me (not my husband, the one who actually has the allergy) and gave us 50% off the lunch bill. I guess that was supposed to have covered the cost of the ASAP taxi home in the middle of the meal to get the antihistamines, the further cost of the 911 ambulance fee when those didn't work and his throat started swelling closed, the time/misery he spent in the hospital getting shots and on the IV and heart/breathing monitors, plus the follow-up cost of the Epi-pen the ER said he needs to make sure something like this never happens again...oh and potentially the price of his life? \n\nLook, I don't expect a server to necessarily know 100% what every, single, ingredient on a menu might be: but it is okay to say \"I'm not sure.\" If we thought there was even a chance this would happen we wouldn't have ordered the spinach dumplings: but we were assured they did NOT contain shrimp. \n\nHowever I DO expect a server to tell the cook if someone does have an allergy so they don't bring back a supposed vegetable dish from the kitchen that is actually filled with huge hunks of seafood specified as an allergen! I can't even excuse this as some kind of a \"rush\" mix up because there was only one other table with 3 customers at it in the place and they didn't order any dumplings. \n\nThis was our first and last visit to this place: obviously."^^ . .
