i know this makes me sound no fun - but im sober RN, and i dont eat cheese or gluten. i ordered a zero proof drink, and they brought me an alc one instead - i realized after a sip so not the biggest drama - but also not fun. then i ordered my pasta sans cheese on top -but it arrived with. given service was really slow and it'd taken awhileeeeee to get our food, i elected to just scrape cheese vs send it back - but again - not ideal. in general service felt slow - after i was finished, my main sat for 20 mins before they took it at my request. the music was really loud for such a small space, and the music had lyrics - which at times pulls attention from a conversation cause the brain doesnt know what to latch onto. the room was also really warm - which on a 90 degree day, can be a lot. that the bill was over $200 didnt feel great.
