We had an 8:15 reservation, and were not seated until 8:50. What's the point of having a reservation if that's what happens?

We were celebrating my daughter’s birthday with a few friends and one has celiac. It was very important to keep her safe from ingesting any gluten and not have any cross-contamination. I researched places a few months before and interviewed several places regarding their gluten free menu, prep area and chance of cross-contamination. RPM assured me the gluten free was made separately and anything fried and cooked is in different oil and area. They knew in my reservation of a celiac need and were accommodating and made sure 100% they got it right and verified and checked several times. The staff was able to address any of her concerns and explain the process to her so she was comfortable and reassured it was a safe dinner for her. Her food even had tags to indicate allergy and brought out on its own serving tray so there was no confusion. The staff were all extremely attentive, well trained, and on top of everything. She enjoyed her dinner and we were all at ease. No reaction or issues during dinner or afterwards. The food was wonderful and serving sizes adequate. We will definitely be back!
