Eva is such a good waitress, I wish we had people to her standard every time. She always checks on us quick and double checks in case we’re missing salt and condiments. We come here every week or two (or a different branch) and she always makes our meal streamlined and easy. Such a competent person. Really love the food too!

I had a wonderful pre-holiday lunch with my wife! The cocktails were spot on. The partridge was cooked the way I like it. The staff were whirring about like madmen and women but never missed a beat, were attentive to every detail, and knew what I wanted before I even did. Thanks for the wonderful holiday send off!
