Rabano — Restaurant in Santa Monica

Great food! Only issue is on the menu where 'crema' is mentioned as an ingredient, mayonnaise is used. I even called to double check and they confirmed it was crema. I'm physically allergic to mayonnaise and also repulsed by mayonnaise. Come to find out the next thing I ordered was also covered in a sauce made of mayonnaise so the entire thing went into the garbage. The next time I called to triple check and make sure the crema is actually crema and not mayonnaise, low and behold I'm told it is mayonnaise and not crema as listed.

I had to order the steak as an extra ($8) because this salad does not come with meat even though it is the same price as the other salads that do include protein. Sadly, only a handful of pieced of tiny chopped up steak were on the salad. No walnuts to speak of, despite them being listed in the description. Luckily I ordered it take out because there was so little goat cheese I had to add some at home. The salad was mainly lettuce and just looked sad. Disappointed to...
