FEEDBACK |

My wife and I have enjoyed many, many wonderful meals over the years in your fine dining rooms. We have had many delightful private party banquets at the Plimsoll Club. The quality of the food and wines has been consistently very good, the prices reasonable, and your staff has always been very friendly and helpful. We always enjoy dining with you. Wednesday evening I celebrated my birthday with my wife and two other couples at the Plimsoll Club. We had such an outstanding meal and such excellent service, I thought I would drop you a line and thank you not for only my birthday party, but also for all the other marvelous times - the wine tastings, the dinner dances, the lunches and all of the treasured memories. Thank you. Please express my thanks to your staff for making my birthday so extra special. Yours very sincerely, Baker Sales, Inc. Robert A. Baker President |
