It would of been nice for my girlfriends birthday if they would of said happy birthday or something at least. Also the server accidentally made the butter splash into my eye, yes he apologized but I could have appreciated it a couple dollars discounted off my meal as courtesy. Overall experience was good.

Our waiter, Jertha, was awesome. Kind, warm, customer centric, thoughtful, attentive to the details in terms of our order. Great personality. Willing to entertain my sense of humor. She made the lunch experience a very positive one and my guess absolutely, categorically expressed a great time because of the food and Jertha.
