Old Fashioned Garden Cafe

It has been a while since the last time we patronized the Garden Cafe, because we don't get down in that part of town often, however when we do, we would order "The Omaha Casserole", and the "Morning Glory Muffins." The last time was around Christmas time last year. We had Robert as our server. He was Great. When we arrived today, I asked about Robert and were told he retired a few months ago. Good for him, he deserved it. Jaysa A. was our server this time. I assume she hasn't been doing this job a long time, but she has good potential for becoming a great server also. First, she asked and took our drink order and brought them promptly. We had looked at the menu and our favorite, "The Omaha" wasn't on it. "The Cheyenne" was the only thing close to it, and to me without the tomato and dill pickle, it's like kissing your sister. Doesn't do anything for me. Another thing, they were out of Morning Glory Muffins.! Oh No! We were batting 1000! We had to settle for Blueberry. We looked at the menu again and didn't see anything to our liking. I guess Jaysa went back, spoke to the cook and he was able to make the Omaha for us after all. Great! When the meal came, I noticed the muffins were not warm enough to melt butter, so I asked Jaysa to warm them up and she promptly did it. I think Jaysa has the potential to be a fantastic server. Of course, it will take time, and she will need to learn what customers want and be able to anticipate them. Thank you, Jaysa! I make it a point to tip the servers well, because I know it is a hard and sometimes thankless job serving the public. And to all the kitchen staff, a Big Thank You also for what you do to give us a pleasant dining experience. Stephen Martins
