Service & Hospitality – Above & Beyond! 🌟

✔ A True Act of Kindness – They Served Us Past Closing Time! – We arrived around 3 PM (just as they were closing), but the chef and attendant went out of their way to serve us instead of turning us away. A rare, genuine gesture of hospitality! ✔ Attentive & Friendly Staff – The attendant noticed I was curious about the stout beer and offered me a free one to try—a thoughtful, personal touch! ✔ Fast, Smooth Service – Despite being past closing time, the team prepared our meal without any rush or hesitation.
