Keep in mind it's been a couple of years since I entered HGC so things may have changed.

Upon arriving my partner and I were promptly seated and quickly waited on. Things went sour from here.

I am a vegetarian AND have Crohn's disease and colon cancer. Yeah sucks for me haha. But it does mean I have to ask extensive questions about food preparation, separation of meat cooking and veggie products and also all ingredients used. I felt an all natural lace like HGC could accommodate my extreme sadly ridiculous dietary restrictions.

Upon asking the server a few rudimentary questions she suggested, politely, that what customers are told regarding such matters and what is done are two different things.

Food prepared for vegetarians for example would be cooked in the same oil and pan as meat. Some things declared gluten free by a server may not be and I was congenially warned to stick with hummus. Which I did.

Everything was excellent, service quick and nice atmosphere.

I realised the server may have made an error . But her training is the responsibility of the management, no?

Upon leaving my partner went back in and spoke to an owner or manager who was seemingly horrified and asked which server it was. My spo use declined to throw her under the bus and we left.

I can't risk my health with inconsistencies such as we experienced . if you have dietary issues then ask lots of questions. Twice.

Sorry Hgc, seemed like you have a nice place.
