Restaurants want people to always tell their server if they have any allergies regardless if it's in the thing is they are ordering. Not all menu items may list every single ingredient in the description and people have some uncommon allergies. Garlic is ubiquitous and it might in your salad dressing. Tell your server if you are allergic. Plus, cross contamination is a thing and chefs need to know to be mindful. Did nuts come anywhere near that salad? Let's make sure that doesn't happen.

Always say something just to be safe.
