We had a fantastic Valentine's Day lunch. Eric, our server, made our afternoon very enjoyable. He was a pleasure and very attentive to our needs. We were among the first guests for the day and what I noticed was that as staff was arriving they were genuinely happy to see each other. That is important because that is projected on to the customers also. It was easy to tell that they enjoyed their work, and they came together as a team to make our afternoon most enjoyable.
