What really blew me away was the teamwork on the pre bussing and resetting of silverware. I’ve been in the industry for awhile, and I know good service when I get it. The teamwork was exemplary, well done to the team & management

He thought we needed to order more food, we didn’t. He expected a party of 7 to immediately stop our conversation when he approached - and was annoyed when it took a few minutes to get everyone’s attention. Perhaps if he were engaging and personable, he would’ve captured our attention. It’s a shame because we love this restaurant and have been here several times.
