Las Iguanas - Milton Keynes

I came here a few weeks ago with my family, intending to have dinner and a drink. We were shown to our seats and were asked if we had any allergies, which we did - one gluten free person. They informed us to look for the "GF" stated next to the food options, and those were what could be chosen. We chose drinks fairly soon after and asked for 2 more minutes to choose food. 40 minutes later our drinks came and we ordered our food. We all placed our order but were unable to place the order for the gluten-free family member as someone else had to take that order. They came about 5 minutes later and asked if we had looked at the GF menu - which we had not been given or told about. We explained no, and he said well I'll have to check what you want against that menu. The affected family member had checked the menu and found one thing she liked, so asked for that. We were told this was not on the GF menu even though it had the option of being GF on the menu we were given. I would like to state that the person who showed us to our table was the manager, and he was the person doing the allergen taking at this time. Due to the time it took to be served and the misinformation regarding the allergen menu, we chose to leave and not eat there.

Nice place for groups, the food is tasty and there is a wide variety of items to try. I think there is something for everyone here and good choices for vegan also. They also have gluten free options and a decent kids menu. I attended with a big family group and we had pre ordered food... out of all the orders for some reason my order had not gone through and so I was left without food and had to wait for everyone's food to be sorted and then they would prepare mine. Whilst they said it would take about 15 minutes it was out relatively quickly. Luckily my sons food had come out with the previous order and he really enjoyed his food. I also ordered a non alcoholic cocktail and an alcoholic one. Buy one get one free as it is always Happy Hour. The drinks are pretty much glasses of flavoured ice.. not much by way of cocktail, notwithstanding I paid nearly 12£ for the alcoholic one. I would still come here again as the food is tasty and as previously stated a lot of options. The staff were very good and accommodating despite us being a little late. The customer service was really good, from the security at the door to the waitresses. Our server Rhiannon was wonderful and answered all my silly questions, she put up with our big group without complaint. I had ordered the tapas - 5 dishes for £30 and a kids option 5.50 with dessert. I had the mushroom quesadilla - Was quite nice needed a lot of cheese to accompany it which would have been more enjoyable for mem. cheese and mango empandas - these were really nice the mango salsa inside was very nice. Calamares - Fine, nothing special a decent calamari Nachos - Proper Tortilla Nachos, bit hard and could have done with more sauces. Chicken wings with a guava glaze - They were tasty and the wings had a nice crisp to them. The curly fries were nice And the plantain I had on the side was OK, albeit it seemed over ripe to the point of off, it was difficult to tell. Some of the pics are meals from my group as well. Overall was a nice meal, with a nice atmosphere and nice staff to assist. 6/10.
