| - As with some of the other reviewers here, we had a fantastic dining experience tonight! Our family-get-together party of 6 arrived before the dinner crowd on a soon-to-be-busy Friday evening and were still told it would be a 40 minute wait. We decided that would be okay, but the next thing we knew, that 40 minute wait had turned into a 4 minute wait. We were shown to a large private table where we could enjoy our dinner and conversation without too much background noise.
Our waiter was Derek, and he was amazing! I used to train waiters, hosts and cooks for a large restaurant chain, and I'm pretty darn picky about the service I receive. Derek was SO on top of everything throughout our stay, and extremely cheerful in so doing. Then when we found out we were to have an additional person (one of my dear aunties) join us after our scrumptious soups and salads were already devoured, he graciously added her order to ours before her arrival. When she arrived, she had time for a couple of bites of salad and then our dinners were served -- all at the same time. She didn't have to wait for hers. Everybody raved about the food choices that had been made.
Other servers stopped by occasionally to see how we were doing, too. Salads were replenished, teas and waters refilled, and all of the proper serving steps happened -- WHEN they should happen.
The crowning achievement was when something happened that I have never seen before in a restaurant, and which was totally unexpected. We had whispered to one of the serving staff that it was my auntie's birthday. Derek showed up with a little birthday scoop of chocolate drizzled vanilla ice cream adorned with a candle which he lit in front of her, the gathered serving staff and our family sang Happy Birthday to her, and smiles were all around -- okay, a bit normal for a restaurant birthday, right? But then, Derek handed her an envelope with a smiley face drawn on it, and inside was a cute little card with a dachshund riding a bike. Inside, the serving staff had each taken the time to write inside of it, draw little smileys and such, sign their names and wish her a very happy birthday. It really touched all of us that these hard-working servers would reach out with something so sweet.
A HEARTY 'THANK YOU' TO DEREK and all the others!! It's a rare thing these days to be treated so wonderfully...
