    We are visiting friends in the area and remembered that we had a great meal at YOLO a few years ago, so we dined here again last night. Reservations strongly suggested, as this place gets very busy. We were seated right away, and server was at our table promptly. My Open Table profile notes a shellfish allergy, and our server was aware. I neglected to note our friends gluten allergy, but he asked specifically about the dish he ordered to make sure nothing was breaded.The server told him there was not. Since our appetizer options were limited due to both allergies, my husband ordered french fries as a starter. Apparently the server took offense to this and questioned my husband’s order with a fair amount of attitude. Typically nicer restaurants are very cautious when it comes to food allergies, but the server clearly didn’t take our friend seriously and he was served a dish that did in fact have breaded onion straws on top, which contain gluten. The food here is excellent. I wouldn’t want to take away from that. But our server was arrogant and rude, not to mention he completely disregarded a serious food allergy, and that’s 50% of the impression we were left with. Such an unfortunate thing in such a beautiful restaurant with delicious food. If I could review on the meal alone, I’d give 5 stars, but front of the house service is as important as back, and in this dining experience, we were left with a bad taste in our mouths.
