"Walked in and they did not have our 8:15 pm reservation on file from OpenTable. They seated us anyway, so that was fine. Let the waitress know that I had a gluten and dairy allergy (she said, with the exception of one dish, they do not use butter in anything , so we ordered accordingly. We were then notified by a bus girl that they were out of rice (WOW! and we could substitute with any appetizers for our two dishes. We start with substituting for the mussels and then are told that we cannot get mussels; so I guess not any appetizer. Fine. Order a salad and sauteed broccoli. Food comes out, and is good. Cannot say the food is bad. BUT...our waitress comes back to us and sees that we have substituted for the broccoli, and tells me that there is butter in the dish... after eating half the dish. Seriously? She says that the other girl did not know. My thought process that if a patron has an allergy of any kind there should be some indication on the ticket. And when we asked them how they could run out of rice, the waitress told us that we came in so late. Did I mention that the reservation was at 8:15 pm and the restaurant hours are until 10 pm? And did you know that rice is a staple in Turkish cuisine? And who runs out of rice? They comped my glass of wine, to accommodate my next few hours of stomach issues. Would not recommend. PS- the table next to us was walking out on their dinner 5 minutes after we walked in. That should 've been a sign."
