Nick Flynn, the resident manager was in jubilance mood when addressing the guests and members of media. He highlighted 3 main key components to be appreciated into getting the restaurant receives such an accolade:
1) The Feringgi Grill's team, which included his team, the culinary and service team for their hard work and constant dedication
