    Needed a quick bite before our movie and found Sauced. It was loud and packed but we got in with no problem. Our waitress was lovely. The food was solid. Appreciate that they had a good selection of gluten-free options. Everyone enjoyed their meal.

    Tri-tip is a bit tough. There is a fine line between grilled and burnt shrimp and they seem to cross over to the latter more often than not. Service and ambience is great though.
