The Stack Restaurant and Bar

Overall, the sentiment from the reviews indicates a positive experience regarding the handling of food allergies at The Stack Restaurant and Bar. Diners with dairy allergies in particular noted that while there was some initial confusion regarding menu modifications, the chef was responsive and made sure their meals were prepared in accordance with their dietary restrictions. This highlights a commitment to accommodating guests with allergies, which is essential for those with specific dietary needs.

However, there were concerns regarding the overall service and atmosphere of the restaurant. One reviewer mentioned the surliness of the waitress and the lack of interaction, which detracted from their dining experience. This could be an area for improvement for the restaurant, especially when catering to families and special occasions such as birthdays.

An important observation was made regarding the soap used in the ladies' toilets—almond oil soap was noted as a potential allergen for many. This indicates a lack of awareness about allergens beyond food and suggests that the restaurant could improve by providing plain soap, which would be safer for patrons with allergies.

In summary, while the dining experience can be marred by service issues and allergen management in non-food areas, the proactive approach taken by the chef towards accommodating dietary restrictions was well-received by diners with allergies.
