We had a small birthday celebration which they helped us to enjoy to the fullest we had multiple selections that we shared round and the food which was freshly cooked just for us was very very good and made the whole event even more enjoyable. When it came time for her birthday cake they brought it in with lit candles and joined in singing Happy birthday which was above and beyond and we really appreciated it all. Would we do it again yes we would and again!
