My boyfriend and I went out to celebrate us and we had the pleasure of having Jordan be our waitress. She was absolutely phenomenal. She had a smile on her face the entire time that we were in her section not just with our table. I love the fact that she was able to hold a conversation. She was able to recommend a few things on the menu we were having a hard time choosing there were so many great options to choose from. Everything was 10/10🥇 Thank you so much, Jordan🤍
