Delores was the BEST server we’ve had at any restaurant in a long time. She understands how to speak to people which most do not know how to do these days. We appreciated her and will definitely request her every time we go.

The servers, bartenders, etc. were phenomenal! Our waitress was well versed in the menu, not how to make suggestions, engaged at the appropriate level, meaning she kept the water glasses and are needs met without hovering.
