Two of the restaurant's own pages disagree. Both claims are kept; neither is quietly dropped.

What do you need?
Dietary
Before you order
The restaurant has written something down about allergens or cross-contact, and it is quoted below in their words. Nobody here has watched their kitchen, so treat it as the claim it is and confirm anything a diner at your table cannot be wrong about.
Menus identify some vegetarian dishes, but many preparations contain allergens even when not listed.
None of this is an allergen guarantee. Deep Dish records what a restaurant published and when it was read, and verifies nothing about a kitchen.
