Precious was our chef and she was amazing!!!! Food cooked to perfection and super sweet! I appreciate how she read the table. There was an older crowd at her table and she could tell we wanted to eat and not be too entertained by the loud clacking of the knife and spatula! Funny and personable. Would definitely go back to her table!!!
