    Loved the food. Servers knowledgeable about gf and celiac. Menu clearly marked with gf. Chips have their own fryer! Loved everything. Did get a little loud but it is a trade off with the fun active vibe I guess. My dinner partner loves spice and asked for everything very spiced and didn’t think it was very spicy. I asked for mild and probably could have gone medium.
