The food was fantastic as usual, but this time I was especially impressed by the excellent service. Immediately upon entering I was greeted by both Skylar and Elizabeth and wow, they blew me away. Both were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I witnessed several other people come through the door and they showed the same level of service to every guest. Thank you Skylar and Elizabeth for making my visit special. These two embody everything that makes eating out at places like Dave's enjoyable.
