Everyone we encountered—from the hostesses, to our server (I think his name was Brandon, thank you for the pie and table side sparkler!!), and the various staff who brought out each part of our meal—was incredibly warm and welcoming. On top of that, the food was amazing. Thank you for a great birthday dinner!
