    I had the absolute pleasure of being served by Joline during my visit, and I have to say, she is hands down the best server I’ve ever encountered! From the moment we sat down, she greeted us with a warm smile and an upbeat attitude that set the tone for an amazing experience. Joline was attentive without being overbearing, ensuring our drinks were always full and checking in at just the right moments. Her knowledge of the menu was impressive—she recommended a dish I wouldn’t have chosen on my own, and it turned out to be my new favorite! What stood out most was her genuine care for her customers. She made us feel like VIPs, going above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. It’s rare to find someone who truly loves what they do, but with Joline, it shows. If you’re lucky enough to have Joline as your server, you’re in for a treat. I’ll definitely be coming back, and a big part of that is because of her outstanding service.
