We were celebrating my fathers 88th birthday. Our server Janice was outstanding. She was so kind and patient with our large party. She made extra effort to make my fathers birthday special. He is hard of hearing (as is my mother) but Janice was sure to speak with them so they could hear her. Janice is a true asset to your company. I worked for Four Seaons Hotels for almost 25 years - she is a excellent example of 5 star service.
