Our waiter front end service was amazing! Once seated our waiter Michael was entertaining, so funny. It was my SIL 36 Anniversary and he made it so special. The food was as always, great. I don’t care what we get, but I always need Todd’s French fries. A great evening. Thank you for ensuring it was!

The service was not as good as it used to be (pre-Covid). Maybe they are still training new staff?
