Ama chose to celebrate her 100th birthday at Schilo’s, and what an honor it was to be part of such a beautiful milestone. ❤️

Still full of wit, charm, and a little cunning, Ama made us smile with her comment as she was guided to her seat: “You’re 100 years old, and so am I.” What a moment!

Schilo’s is a place where the conversation starts, memories are made, and generations come together. We are beyond honored to have been part of so many of Ama’s conversations and memories throughout the years as she has continued to visit Schilo’s.

Ama , thank you for your continued support, your wonderful spirit, and for allowing us to be part of your special day.
