Phenomenal service from Ilhan and fabulous food. The best French Onion soup I have had and that includes the finer restaurants in San Francisco, Orlando and Los Angeles. Ilhan must have waited on over 6 tables at the same time and you would have thought he was your own personal waiter. What a fantastic experience.
