I absolutely hate having to be negative, but I do need to share how Jimmy V's has treated us. We visited on Friday, April 11th, 2014 at approximately 11:00pm at night since it is one of the only places in the area with a kitchen open.
We order drinks and get ready to order food. I ask the waitress if a specific dish has almonds in it because my eating partner has a food allergy, she says no. We order the dish to split and have a cocktail while waiting for our food.
As we are sitting there eating, the man I am with starts to get very uncomfortable, red, sweaty, hot and is starting to get small bumps on his lips.
I run up to the bartender/server who says ""That dish is absolutely not made with almonds"" when I ask her if she was sure there are no almonds in the dish. I asked her to please ask the cook, to double check, even if the almonds are in almond oil or something to cook with. She rolled her eyes and walks to the back.
She comes back wide-eyed and says "" Actually it is made with almonds"". I ask for the owner's phone number because I need to make a dash to get him out of the restaurant. He had already started towards the car. The bartender writes down the name Jessica and gives me the phone number of Brian? Obviously it does not get me to the owner, nor did I get a call back from the number.
I have called Jimmy Vs two more times in the last week to speak with them in regards to this situation. They have taken my name and number, promised that someone would call back and unfortunately have not been compassionate or helpful when trying to speak to management.
I have absolutely given enough chances for them to call me back. I am so bummed that we had such a bad experience because I wanted it to be a regular place to eat living right off of State Street.
