It is a testament to the hard work, passion and dedication of my entire team. It is not about one person; it is about a collective effort that has brought us here. The daily commitment of our team has ensured this award, which makes me immensely proud. We also look forward to continuing to offer our guests outstanding culinary experiences and continue this dedication and successes in the future.'
