My daughter has a severe nut allergy and Sonny personally took our order and ensured all staff were fully aware. Our delicious food arrived with allergy flags and the wait staff acknowledged the allergy at every stage of the meal and checked in at regular intervals. We were shown personal care and kindness demonstrating an exceptional level of training and hospitality.
