99 Restaurant & Pub

This particular restaurant takes allergies quite seriously, they have a gluten free menu and most things I ordered looked fresh. Although the chicken that i ordered had that processed chicken look to it and the carrots looked like they were doused in butter, while the rice was cold and crusty, my dining companions however liked their burgers, and the fact that they have gluten-free buns is a plus. So for allergy accomodations they get two stars, now if only the food tasted good. Service-wise, the server looked like she was not into her job at all.

Service was excellent but the food is sort of like TGI Fridays with fewer options.  I spent more time trying to figure out if there was anything I wanted to eat on the menu than I actually did eating.  I wound up with Steak Tips that were really overcooked and bleh.  The "quartino" deal on wine wasn't bad.  The beer selection could use some real American microbrews.  I probably wouldn't return, unless it was connected to the hotel I was staying in and the temperature was -3F again...

As a new Vegan I'm almost terrified of Chains, I mean don't they presoak everything in butter? And then I'm going to have to ask a million questions, to severs who wont be cooking my food. Luckily, I had one of the worlds nicest waiters! He was extremely friendly and gave me the inside veggie scoop, so I could get as many veggies as possible, and he made sure that there was no butter! He had one of those positive attitudes that were absolutely contagious, one of the people who you can tell actually enjoyed his job.

He helped to sell me on the 99 restaurant, now I'll know that I have options there, and understanding people.
