“ I had an absolutely wonderful dining experience, and a big part of that was thanks to our incredible server, Mary. From the moment we sat down, she was warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive without ever being overbearing. Mary had a great sense of timing, answered all of our questions with a smile, and made thoughtful recommendations that turned out to be spot-on. She checked in just the right amount and made us feel genuinely cared for the entire time we were there. It’s rare to come across service this good—Mary made our night feel special.
