    Our Christmas Eve dinner at Prime & Provisions was absolutely unforgettable! The food was phenomenal, but what truly made the evening exceptional was our server, Nate. From the moment we sat down, Nate made us feel welcome and taken care of with his warm personality and impeccable attention to detail. He anticipated our needs before we even had to ask and gave fantastic recommendations that turned our meal into a truly elevated experience. The holiday ambiance was perfect, and Nate’s professionalism and charm made it all the more special. Thank you, Nate, for making our Christmas Eve dinner so memorable! We’ll definitely be back and will be asking for you next time!

    Had dinner last night at Gino & Marty’s. Our first waiter was Julio and he was amazing. He took his time to explain the specials, drinks and dishes on the menu. He was funny yet very personable and professional. The food was amazing! EVERYTHING!! The bread, grilled oysters, pasta, steak and broccolini were all amazing. I will definitely be back!
