The restaurant refused to make separate dishes and the first family decided to leave. The wife of the first family thinks that her husband was being inconsiderate towards the other family, but the husband thinks that the restaurant should have made separate dishes for the girl.

Allergy restrictions spark conflict at local hibachi restaurant

A family outing to celebrate their son’s graduation turned sour when a conflict arose over a dairy allergy restriction at a local hibachi restaurant. The family was joined by another family who informed the waitress of their daughter’s dairy allergy and requested that her food be made without butter. The waitress informed everyone at the table that all food would be made without butter to avoid any risk of contamination. However, the father of the other family insisted that his daughter’s allergy was not that serious and that as long as her serving had no dairy, it should be fine. A back-and-forth ensued between the two families and the waitress, ultimately resulting in the first family leaving the restaurant. While some may argue that the family was inconsiderate of the girl’s needs, others may argue that the restaurant could have found alternative ways to accommodate her while still allowing the other customers to enjoy their meal.
