I wish I could give more stars for service. My best friend sister and I were there for dinner tonight and we had Ruby as our waitress. She was friendly, hilarious and so communicative throughout our time there. She was constantly at her tables checking in on what anyone needed, friendly to everyone she spoke with and just on it over all. The food was amazing and brought out very quickly! We've been to this location many times but this has been one of my favourite visits mostly...

Johnny was our Server for Tonight. He was great. His interaction with my autistic boy was amazing.
I wish him the best . Hats off to the management for having him as a team member.
