The service I experienced last night was exceptional from the moment I arrived at the front desk. The staff was warm and inviting. The waiter demonstrated extensive knowledge, describing the menu items with the enthusiasm of a commercial. All dishes were served promptly and at the right temperature, and the staff ensured that my needs were met without me having to seek assistance.
