We walked into a very warm environment. We were very nicely greeted by the hostess. I asked for certain seating which she accommodated us with a smile and led us to our table explaining the name of our waitress who would be at our table shortly. Marilynn was our waitress. She was very personable and answered our questions and made excellent alternate suggestions. She made sure our dining experience was great! The hostess wished us a nice evening on our way out. A very nice evening at Destination Grill!!
