The recommendation for Cooper's Hawk is another good one.


Agree. They are good about both allergies and large groups.

Burton's is fantastic with allergies--they take them very seriously.

We have much better luck ordering in in these cases. We can order from two places or order from one and make a dish for xyz person. It’s much less stressful and everyone is happy.

Il Canale and Silver. Just took my friend with celiac disease and a bunch of kids to these places and it worked well.

Accomidate the allergy kid.

The vegetarian and gluten free can just go with whatever works on the menu, such as ordering steak and potatoes or a buger no bun for the gluten free preference, and a salad or veggie pasta for the vegetarian lifestyle choice.

Look a PF Changs in Tysons.

I believe they have a separate menu and kitchen for food allergies.


Pf Chang is not a good choice with a sesame allergy. And why do you assume the gluten free kid is a preference not a need?


It usually is.


Yup unless it’s actually Celiac it’s almost always a preference. You will get the whole “it just doesn’t make me feel good” stories but they can’t expect people to choose a restaurant based on that.

Did the OP mention sesame and soy allergies?

Japanese has soy in everything, and lots of sesame

Teenagers choosing a lifestyle diet like vegetarian must be flexible in group dining situations.


100% this. What a PITA.
