I was kidding about always being right! But I generally know of what I speak when it comes to restaurant stuff... in addition to Dad's experience, I used to eat out A LOT in my early 20s, and that was just after a gallstone diagnosis, so I got used to scrutinizing food.
Some places are better than others about accomodating special diets. Honestly, if they ever decide to go to this place again, I'd just not go and risk looking like a weirdo, because establishments that blatantly disregard requests don't deserve my business, even if I'm not the one paying. I had the best luck ever at a diner - a truly fabulous fish dinner made with no oil and no dairy, and I had no problems. I had the worst luck ever at a fancy, expensive restaurant, where the chef thought it was highly insulting that I wouldn't eat his food and served me a dry lobster tough as rubber. You just never know.
I still would have ordered the omelette, personally. And when it came out looking like it did, I would have sent it back and demanded that they do it right. I've done that before. Can't you imagine that I'm a JOY to eat out with? Haha.
