Madison was an amazing host. Her customer service and hospitality was top tier! Manager was also very kind enough to make accommodations for my autistic son. All servers were great as well but Madison’s kindness stood out the most. The food and drinks were also very good. I had a French 75 for the first time and it was enjoyable. I don’t usually drink gin because of the taste, but you can barely taste it.
