    Our server was Halit. I always get the pleasure of him being in our server most of the time when I come in and he is always exceptional. He makes sure that you’re getting everything you need and he does not hover. He tends to show up just at the right time when you need him. He makes great suggestions and he makes dining at Angeline’s a wonderful experience. Thanks Halit!
