    Al Biernat’s is always on point. The welcome is warm, requests are taken seriously, the food is world class. We arrived a party of four with a three year-old. I had asked in advance for a booster seat and the host told me they didn’t have a booster seat in the restaurant. Our waiter mentioned it and sent someone to a store room to look for a booster seat and then another server showed up at our table with said seat so our three-year-old was able to sit up and eat with us. It was so thoughtful of the staff to make that happen. It may sound like a small thing, but it’s one example of the way this excellent restaurant handles details and makes diners both feel at home and feel like every meal is a celebration. The energy is different from any other restaurant I have been in. I’m so glad to have the opportunity to enjoy amazing experience after amazing experience. The servers are always professional and gracious. Thank you!
