    We were celebrating our 32nd anniversary. We've tried to return to Jag's for three years, but had to cancel due to last minute family issues. Last night was perfect; from our table location, the food, the atmosphere, but especially due to the very personalized and attentive server,Brady D. and Ryan R. Both men helped to make our experience momentous. We joked with Brady regarding several menu items that we hadn't seen or heard of before and he responded very jokingly and we enjoyed his responses. Ryan asked me if I'd like a drink and I responded by stating I'd like to have a Black Manhattan with Buffalo Trace. Ryan asked how'd I like it served and stated the three ways I could have it. I hadn't heard of an Up presentation and he explained what that was and I chose that style, which was excellent by the way! At the conclusion of our meal and celebration, we both agreed the experience was as near perfect as it could be. The young ladies at the front greeted us and offered congratulations on our anniversary as well as all of the servers, etc. Jag's made our special day extraordinarily special!! Thank you for our perfect evening!
