"Today (4/6) I was able to speak with the owner of this restaurant. Yesterday I stopped in to speak with him regarding the incident that took place on 3/31 with my daughter not being allowed to bring in her own food. He was not available so I left my number. When he called me today he was very kind and apologetic. He explained that this has never happened before. I found out that there is not a written policy stating that outside food can’t be brought in. My hope is that the female manager, who was so incredibly rude, has learned a lesson on how to treat other people, especially those with a disability. Sometimes it is necessary to make changes. Everyone is different, and there are many people with dietary restrictions. The owner did give me a gift card so that my daughter can go back with her friends, AND she can stay there and eat her safe meal with them. I’m thankful that he was understanding and willing to speak with me. Dietary restrictions: Do NOT eat here! My daughter has severe food allergies and they would not allow her to bring in her own meal so that she could eat with her friends. She was made to feel so bad about herself for something that is out of her control. This is 2023how appalling! Even after she explained the situation, they would not let her eat her safe food there. She and her friends left. They are all students at Vassar College. This is unbelievable!"
