I had an amazing experience dining here thanks to Savannah! From the moment we were seated, she made us feel welcome and taken care of. Her attentiveness, warm personality, and knowledge of the menu really stood out. Every recommendation she gave was spot-on, and she managed to balance professionalism with a genuine friendliness that made the evening even more enjoyable.Service like hers elevates the whole dining experience. You can tell she truly cares about her guests and takes pride in what she does. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends thanks to the outstanding service she provided! - David Ramirez
