Brittany was awesome. It was my husband's birthday and I treated him to breakfast to kick off his birthday-day weekend. We had a great time this morning. She was down to earth and she made it more comfortable. We've been to Beatrix, all locations a few times and this was the best experience. Thank you! We'll be back next weekend for my birthday.
