Sat down with friends for dessert. Ordered 2 tiramisus, a tea and a serve of ice cream (2 scoops per serving). Upon ordering we had asked the waitress if the pistachio ice cream and the lemon ice cream could be served in 2 separate bowls due to a pistachio nut allergy. She took note of this request.

When the ice creams were brought out in separate bowls, the white lemon sorbet ice cream visibly had neglectfully been contaminated by green pistachio ice cream on it. We brought this to the waitress’ attention at which point she noted it and brought it back into the restaurant but instead of presenting a new scoop of lemon sorbet, she shortly returned and said that she was told that all 4 ice cream flavours (vanilla, chocolate, pistachio and lemon) came in the same box so if we have a nut allergy, we can’t have any of the ice cream at all.

This frankly seems a little hard to believe but nevertheless, the frustration stems from the fact that we had mentioned the allergy from the get go when ordering, and were still haphazardly served contaminated food. If the advice was that customers with nut allergy should not consume any ice creams at the restaurant, this advice should have been made known clear on the menu, or at very least by waitstaff when a nut allergy has been brought to their attention.

Lemon sorbet tasted decent, pistachio ice cream was sub par. Tiramisus were good.
