I found the food quite good, although we were seated in first row, and they were out of the third entree. Other two had tomatoes (which I 'can', but) prefer not to eat. FA was great about serving the beef without the sauce. Left the beef somewhat dry, but that was b/c of MY request. Sausage far better, though it too was on a bed of tomato based salsa-like sauce. Partner and I shared entrees, so was fine.

Second question- If i find myself in that sort of situation (we're in row 2 tomorrow, even number fight so hopefully FEBO will prevail) is it considered OK to ask them to hold an entree that my preference. Prefer not to claim a tomato allergy... it isn't, just a preference.

Thanks.
It will not be the same menu, the menus change based on direction. If you notice that one option has tomatoes and you really don't like them, I think it's fine to say that you would prefer something else. I would not claim an allergy, I just think it's bad karma.
