Sonia and Que were great! Sonia helped us pick out our menu for our group of seven and everything she suggested was on point! The cauliflower, ribs and meatballs were particular standouts as was the banana cream pie for dessert. Keep hiring great people who embody your brand. It makes a HUGE difference.
