First time at the VIP lounge in Pickering. Everything was excellent. The servers were fantastic. Savannah was sweet, friendly and very kind to my daughter. She even sent her a brownie with ice cream to our seat in the theater as it was my daughter’s birthday. What great customer service and also shows that she’s a thoughtful person that cares for the customer! The theater was very clean. Service amazing. The lounge warm and welcoming. Definitely coming back again 😊😊😊
