What If... of Hershey

What a difference a year makes! My husband and I don't eat out very often as we both have food allergies. I am Celiac, and need to be dairy free as I am allergic to the protein in dairy products. My husband is allergic to onions and garlic. Last year we had a wonderful experience at What if. The waitstaff were very attentive to our dietary restrictions as well as the chef, who made sure we ate safely. Not so much this year. We told our waitress of our dietary needs, I repeated them three times during our order and she said she was writing them down. When served, I ordered filet mignon with lumpcrab, not a cheap meal, the crab was in a cheese sauce. I questioned the sauce and she confirmed that it was a cheese sauce. I reminded her that I was allergic to dairy. She looked at me with "the deer in the headlights" look. She took the meal back and then the manager came over and asked if they could just scrap the sauce off. Really????? Was she not understanding of food allegies? And is that an appropriate response from a high-end restaurant? I think not. I reminded her of my food allergies, which are not a lifestyle choice. I waited 20 more minutes for my meal as the others at the table ate. My meal came back with an over done steak and very soggy vegetables. As everyone was done at the table and I was hungry, I ate the meal. I should have sent it back but wasn't willing to wait another 20 minutes. My question to them...did they just rinse the filet mignon off and recook it since it was over done?!???

Brook was amazing, the food was fantastic and gluten free pasta was out of this world. We will definitely return. We even met the chef's!!!!
