Our server was amazing. So fun and such good energy. She made the horrible seating and temperature bearable. They had the doors open for a while and it was very warm inside (Phoenix in the 100s that day). They closed the doors after a while but they sat us by the kitchen and a door that kept opening on its own due to the wind. We were sweaty and hot. The light was very dim when they transitioned the lights from day to evening so we cut our visit short and left as soon as we were done eating.
