Anyone have any recent experiences? Thanks!

We were there (La hacienda) last week for dinner, and don't have any allergies, but when we approached the hostess, the first thing they asked was if we had any allergies. we really liked that they were so pro-active. Btw, everything was very good, except the deserts were a bit flavorless and disappointing.

I have an experience with Earl of Sandwich. I had e-mailed them last year before our trip because I have a deathly tree nut allergy. I got a response from the CEO of the entire company himself! He told me to print out the message, and bring it with me to the restaurant. When I got there, I did as he requested, and they made mine completely separate on freshly sanitized equipment and in a different area with all new gloves, etc. Awesome, but we did have a hard time communicating his message to the workers. It is often crowded, and they can be overwhelmed.
