Double C

The food was tasty, the atmosphere felt elevated and bustling, the server was very friendly and quick to help us. We always enjoy our visits here. The reason for my review tonight and a less than five-star review was because we were left feeling slightly off put. We came to celebrate our sisters birthday. The server noticed since we had a gift bag at the table. He asked if we were celebrating something and upon finding out it was her birthday he offered a free dessert. My sister has both a gluten and nut allergy (she loves double c because they have some great gluten free food options). She told him because of her allergies she wouldn’t be able to enjoy the complimentary dessert. The server then offered a margarita to her as an alternative. She happily accepted. The owner brought the drink out to her a few minutes later. After my sister had a sip or two of the drink the server returned to check on us and only then told her that since the desserts are $8 and the margaritas are $13 they would have to charge her the $5 difference for the drink. Neither the server, who offered the margarita as an alternative to the complimentary dessert, nor the owner who brought the drink to our table, mentioned the price difference prior to her consuming the drink. The three of us found this a bit off putting. Overall the experience was good, but the extra charge for the drink that they offered to her left us feeling a little sour after spending nearly $200 at their establishment.
