We are visiting San Jose for Christmas to see our 97 year old dad, who moves very slowly with a walker and has a hard time getting around. As we were making our way to the front door, Keesha noticed us outside the order pick up door and came running out to guide us into the building and to our table. We were then lucky enough to have her as our server for our meal. It’s hard to find the words for how much we appreciate you Keesha. This is the type of kindness that will change...
