Great event experience
Tina, Everyone had a great time on Sunday. The food was awesome and all said great things about it. The room and view of the pond was fantastic. The staff were very attentive, helpful and courteous, which was much appreciated. Looking forward to coming out to dine soon and we will definitely tell all we know about of wonderful experience. Thanks, Karan and Gary Cornett
Graduation Brunch
The brunch was great and the private room was so nice and just perfect. Everyone enjoyed their meal as well. All of that said, I want to give Patricia a HUGE shout out. She was amazing and so attentive to all of us. She didn't miss a beat and was right there with a drink or asking if we needed anything else. Just a pleasure. I would 100% recommend this set up to anyone else and I would insist they request Patricia as their server. She was magnificent. Please make sure anyone who needs to hear this feedback receives it. She's a gem! Thanks again for your help as well. You called me on a Saturday to get all of this figured out and that definitely was above and beyond. THANK YOU!
