Kyra was a very good and engaging guide, with a fun personality. The choice of The Blue and Gray as our first stop was awful. Not only did they get our entire order wrong, but after telling them that I had a food allergy, they served me a cheesesteak WITH the allergen and the fries were cold! Quite unacceptable considering we were the first customers of the day! The remaining restaurant experiences were great.
