Let me be clear: I love this place. The food has never disappointed, the staff are always great. Great dining experience. But my favorite part was that my best friend could eat here without any fear of her soy allergy. The menu always had interesting meals that we're soy free. Or we could always ask just in case, and the waiting staff were happy to accommodate and check ingredients. Unfortunately, that can no longer be the case. We learned recently that Rooster Company now uses a cheaper soybean/vegetable oil. And since many ingredients are pre-fried, we can't even ask for the chefs to switch to a different oil. It's disheartening, you can't imagine how hard it is finding a restaurant that doesn't use soybean or vegetable oil. I hope I can one day change this rating from 1 star to the 5 that it deserves. But right now, this cost-saving tactic has cost us yet another great dining experience.
