    Theodore, the manager, is truly one of the bestworkers I’ve ever encountered. He is incredibly kind and genuinely wants every customer to have a great experience. Every time I visit, he goes above and beyond, always with a smile on his face. Whether he’s chatting with customers, clearing plates and wiping tables, running out to someone’s car in the rain to deliver their to-go food, or telling guests goodbye as they leave, he brings an exceptional level of care and positivity to everything he does. Watching him work and interact with the dining room is genuinely wonderful. His dedication, friendliness, and service make a huge difference, and it shows in every moment. Theodore is truly outstanding.
