Default The Crave restaurant just opened and disappointing

We tried the Crave as they opened today for lunch. Two Chicago dogs were good but tater tots and fries were very disappointing. Firstly, they are dumped on your tray, no wrapping or container. Sadly, both were warm but far from hot. Apparently there is no deep fryer there, so they are oven baked only, then dumped in a tray under a heat lamp until needed. Fries and tots will never be served hot that way. Buns ok, but not great. Also a 3% fee to use a credit card we noticed after looking at our bill.
They advertise axe throwing but definitely not free at $15 for 30 minutes or $30 per hour. We wish them luck but will not return. Still hoping for Portillos to come to Lady Lake as was planned. Ate at their Clermont location recently and they were excellent.
