Food poisoned, lovely staff on site, but awful experience with their offices when trying to discuss the matter

My parents went there for lunch, and my Dad ended up leaving in an ambulance.......
There was clearly an issue with what he was served, and it led to a severe first time reaction (he has never had this happen before).

When he wrote to complain, all he was looking for was an apology, and even if they didn't fully accept it was their food which landed him in an ambulance, as a token of their goodwill or whatever to be at least offered a meal to make amends. He never had any intention of trying to bring them to court, as they suggested would be his best step forward (puzzled look on my face as I write this...!)

What he got instead was incomprehensible tripe by the 'Head of quality and safety', where they effectively suggested that he get conclusive labratory proof that it was their food that caused his reaction.
I wrote to them myself to point out how these cases are treated in hospitals, and what they're asking is highly unreasonable.

Simply put, he was taken in to St. Vincents, assessed, bloods taken to rule out anything else, and discharged when it was established that he had just got very sick from a bad lunch and had a bad reaction. No vomiting bug symptoms, just a very straightforward case of reacting badly to whatever was in the lunch.
There was no further investigation from the hospital, as its quite hard and would be an unusual move for them to drive to Dundrum, and scoop up vomit from the street the next day, so that it can be assessed...!

I wrote to Milanos:
''Should he have taken that sample of his lunch and undertaken to have it microscopically examined at a medical research facility?

Should he be undertaking to liase with the treating physician in Vincents hospital to research and study his case of food poisoning so he can establish 'conclusive medical evidence'? ''

What I got was a nonsensical response, that seemed like it was written by Chat GPT, with the preprogrammed conditions - 'reply to the customer in a cold, overly complicted, and robotic fashion'.

We both had our time wasted, and came up against a brick wall with their Head of Quality & Safety', who needs to seriously rethink his position, as he's possibly the most unsuitable person I could imagine for this position.

I would sincerely recommend anyone else in the offices there to have a look through my email exchange and tell me with a straight face that their response wasn't ridiculous.

(On a positive note, the staff in Dundrum itself were lovely apparently, and up

Pros: Lovely staff in Dundrum

Cons: Throwing up outside, Passing out, and leaving in an ambulance, Their offices response

Nice location

Nice, bright location in the middle of Dundrum Town Centre's outside area, but this place can really packed. Food is nice, easulily adaptable and they seem to be working on expanding their vegan options. Not cheap except at lunch, when it's usually rammed.

Pros: Good vegan options

Cons: Expensive, Busy
