Tell the waitress/waiter of your needs       06/14/06 02:26 AM Edit Reply Quote Sailing Away Reged: 03/31/05 Posts: 304 Usually when we go to a resturant anymore I have scoped out the menu in advance and while everyone is deciding I make my special request first for the way that I need my meal prepared. Telling them that you have food allergies instead of going into the big long explanation works great. I have had the best service lately this way and fabulous food. I also leave a nice tip and make sure to thank the for their attention to my special needs. I have been to one resturant quite a few times now and had the same waiter (seems to help to stick with the same people since they remember me). He remembers my dietary needs and takes excellent care of me. I get the "kids" applesauce and house bread (so delicious-I usually get two loaves to take home) instead of the salad and haven't had to ask for it just get the "same as last time?" The nice thing is that this waiter has even suggested specials that he is aware that will meet my needs-had excellent seafood dish that was broiled and topped with a fruit salsa and served with couscous. I wouldn't have tried it but he knew it would work for me. Course my future in-laws always took in their ranch dressing with them to fancy italian restuarants since they didn't want a vinagrette on their salad. Drove me crazy initially but now it makes sense...customer is happy and comes back. Good luck! -Michelle Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
