So I came here once before Covid and I remember having such a good experience the first time, but I just recently went November 2024 and had one of the best Caesar salads in my life, best food, best everything. The only thing I thought it was weird that they knew I was making my reservation for my birthday And they even asked me who’s birthday it is and I’m pretty sure they forgot.
