I am a nursing mother with a baby that's allergic to gluten, dairy, soy, and tree nuts; therefore, I cannot eat those foods either. I feel like such a high maintenance jerk ordering food and asking the server questions about what they cook with and so on. So I contacted Sonata via their website/email asking if they cooked with butter and what on their menu would work for me. <br /><br />My email was responded to the next morning and followed up with a phone call from the chef/owner. He said he could easily accommodate my food issues. That evening I was handed a printed menu just for me with several choices of appetizers and entrees that contained no gluten, dairy or soy!! Also, he printed another menu for my husband (who is gluten intolerant) that was all gluten-free choices including the infamous Lobster "Mac & Cheese" with gluten-free pasta! I have never felt so at ease ordering! Chef Mark came out to greet us as he usually does...I couldn't thank him enough for his generous accommodations! Oh, and because they make all deserts in house, the trio of sorbets was amazing, enjoyed by myself and my baby!!Laureenoreply@blogger.com
