"Our entire experience at Dopo was terrible. I came in tonight with two friends, we are all young girls are we got treated like we were not welcome, as opposed to everyone else being treated very kindly. Right off the bat we were seated at a bad table that was crammed right between the front door (with a lot of action passing behind us) and another table. My friend who was seated with her back against the other table couldn 't even fit in the chair due to how far the people seated behind her were pushed out, so we asked our waiter, Walter, if we could switch seats. Walter responded with you need to ask the hostess, and made it our responsibility. It then took us five minutes to find the hostess and as we moved tables all of the staff that was assisting us acted as if it was a hassle. As Walter took our orders he was EXTREMELY passive aggressive. The two friends I was with both modified menu items due to dietary needs, and Walter was very unreceptive about this and kept responding very rudely when my friends would ask for clarification that he had written everything down correctly. The dietary restriction of one of my friends is that is vegan and gluten free, so she ordered gluten free spaghetti and made sure to comment that she could not eat cheese. I ordered regular spaghetti, and when our plates came out looking identical my friend wanted to double check that hers was modified. She had to ask a food runner because our waiter was no where to be found, despite his constant attentiveness to all of his tables other than us. When Walter did arrive and my friend asked if her meal was correctly modified, he just said yes and walked away. My friend then took a bite of her pasta, to realize that it tasted insanely like cheese, which she cannot eat. She asked another food runner to get Walter, because he kept ignoring us, and when he came over he just said that there is no cheese and left before my friend could say anything else. I then proceeded to taste my friends meal and compare it to mine, and hers did taste like cheese and mine absolutely did not. It was clear that they mixed up our orders, and after sitting at the table with my friend not eating for a good 20 minutes Walter finally came over. When we explained that my vegan friend 's food was not vegan, he literally didn 't care. We ended up still having to pay for the pasta because he refused to believe that they messed up the order. Whether it was a miscommunication or his ignorance, it was the wrong dish and despite it being his job to do so, he would not lift a finger to double check. My friend went home starving and all of us felt uncomfortable and unwelcome."
