    We chose Clear Sky for an impromptu Sunday night dinner, knowing that since it was Mother’s Day, we might have a hard time finding a reservation. Pleasantly surprised that we were able to find one! John was our waiter! He was exceptional in every way! We have dined at Clear Sky many times, and John has served us in the past, but it seems like even more so than before, his service was impeccable! Highly, highly recommend!
