Las Iguanas - Leamington Spa

We were seated and asked if we had allergies, and answered yes there was a gluten allergy. Although it wasn't explained, the menu was marked as to where gluten free option was available. Unfortunately, when it came time to order, it turned out the menu was totally wrong! The server's electronic device showed that the option chosen now contains gluten. However they couldn't tell us what options on the menu were still correct, we had to look at the screen which contained shortened names of the options available then read what they actually were on the menu while the server waited awkwardly. This put pressure on chosing something else in a rush. In addition the server explained the original choice was unavailable because the meat skewers were marinated in soy sauce "but if you want to take the risk you can". Soy sauce contains gluten, so no, it's not going to be something we "take the risk" on. Some of the other options on the device were opposite to the GF on the menu which didn't inspire confidence. Our food then came out so quickly we didn't even have our drinks yet, which made us feel rushed again. The GF tortilla wraps were not appetising at all. Please address the issues with the menu and put some time into training regarding allergies. This sort of issue is why we hardly ever go out to eat anymore and this special occasion was spoilt. We quickly left and went elsewhere for pudding. Take a leaf out of Wagamama's book, they seem to have taken the experience of eating out with allergies seriously. Atmosphere -wise, it was nearly empty other than large groups of drinkers, we were seated in what felt like a corridor and the walls next to my arm were filthy with splashes of food/drink. I wouldn't visit again even if we didn't have the issues around the menu.

Nice place they done their best on putting the atmosphere in the restaurant. Good menu for gluten intolerance guests. Not sure if they where short staffed but there was fair bit of waiting and noticed staff walking back empty handed. Food would have been 5 stars if they wouldn't have put chilli powder on the mixed grill steak ( why ruin steak I've been all over the world and never had this) and in one of the vegan meals we had ( black bean one) way to much chilli powder even though it wasn't stated on menu so it got left.
