Feedback

I wanted to thank you and all of the staff at the Plimsoll Club for making our son's rehearsal dinner a truly memorable occasion. The food was delicious, the service was impeccable and the setting was beautiful.

Once again, thanks a million. Please be sure that Chef Keith and Banquet Capt. Mike Vidrine know that we enjoyed it.

Sincerely,
Mike Odom
