    Excellent morning - food was great and service was outstanding. Jude was working and he was so nice and helpful. Having his kindness would honestly encourage us to return again. He gave us a further 20 percent off our bill. Gestures like this is what you look for when you dine out. Good work Benson for finding an employee like Jude. He deserves employee of the month. Beautiful restaurant!
