Disappointing experience. Service was not great

rude tonefood cross-contamination
the service was not good. it took quite a while to get our drinks. i asked if the sauces were gluten-free because i have celiac disease, but the server seemed annoyed. when the sauces came, they were put right on my plate even though i was told they weren't gluten-free. it made me worried about cross-contamination.
