Always a great experience at Haywire. The building they are located in recently converted parking to a ticketless system. It was a bit confusing to navigate, so I asked about it when I arrived, and the Manager came over to talk to me. He explained that parking was, in fact, free and validated, despite the parking company asking for my credit card info. And, once I finished my meal, I went through the validation process and it worked seamlessly. A tad bit annoying, but not reflective of the leadership at Haywire. As always, the rest of my experience at Haywire was fantastic, and our server was delightful!
