| Magnolia's at the Mill 198 North 21st St. Purcellville, VA (540) 338-9800 10/10/2009 This story shared by LoCoallergylife. Patron allergic to milk, egg, peanut, tree nuts, soy and garlic. Talked to the manager and wait person regarding food allergies. We celebrated my husband's 40th bday on Saturday with family and friends, finishing a dinner with his immediate family at this local restaurant. Our previous experience there proved that the french fries were not safe because they dip their fries in batter. We always bring our own food, of course, so we just gave my 3 yr old daughter the food we brought. She has been OK with this because this is all she knows, but I know as she gets older she will want to eat from the restaurant like everyone else - so I feel like we have to keep trying. This event took some extra planning anyways because of the number of guests and we were able to get a semi private room which was helpful because other parties food wouldn't be as much as a concern, as she also has inhalation allergy especially to garlic. I called a day before the dinner and spoke with the manager to explain our needs. They were friendly to my request of small piece of salmon baked in foil no seasoning. When we arrived our server was pre advised and in addition, a nursing student about to take her Boards! We found out that the manager assigned her to our table - the extra thought is so nice! She assured us that food allergies are not to be taken lightly and could help us with our sides we brought for her and seeing that it's heated up in our containers. I know this was a lot extra, but she was helpful! We enjoyed watching our daughter eating happily with her cousins and all the extra work was worth it for this event. This restaurant is a sister to Tuscorora Mill in Leesburg, VA. Thank you! And for sharing that you've had success in enjoying these "challenges" in our life and that miracles can happen someday... |
