    It was a great experience! The DJ was awesome. I do suggest having the menu specify what items are cooked in shellfish. My waiter was awesome and verified all items for my sister and I as we have a deathly allergy. Specifying the items would increase the turn around for the order process as I felt bad having to constantly re-choose something and taking longer.
