Today 15 of us gathered to have lunch together. Jacob N was an excellent waiter to every single one of us. He was friendly, professional, efficient and very patient. Not one time did he try to rush us. Our meals were all delicious. We all left satisfied and happy. Thank you for providing a perfect place to gather.
