    The food was amazing! My husband and I shared the salmon dish which had a delightful spicy pineapple sauce over mashed sweet potato and a side of Brussel sprouts. Waiter was attentive and our water pitcher was filled several times before it was emptied. Music was a bit loud and the lights from the Capital One Arena were very distracting.

    The food was delicious and the servers were friendly; definitely no negative notes from me! I will say my spice tolerance got underestimated and the medium spice I was recommended wasn't all that spicy to me (though it was still delicious!), but that happens basically every time I go to somewhere that serves truly spicy food.
