Mum turned 65 so took her out for dinner. When making the booking the previous week I confirmed that the restaurant could provide a meal for a vegetarian no problem. When ordering time presented itself I reminded the waiter of the booking request to which he consulted with the chef. Did I like pasta? Yes love it. Did I like... More
