Kudos

Robin: Great! Phenomenal! Superb! Excellent! Amazing! Terrific! Bravo! Way to Go! Exceptional! Sensational! Awesome! I just wanted to write and say THANK YOU for making our event yesterday such a success. The staff was outstanding! The Vice-President as well as the President and owner of the company praised your staff and the food. The chef, Max, created the most delicious dishes, it was like eating at a 4 star restaurant. Many Cheers to Max! Please say thank you to everyone from us at Daybrook! Spectacular Work! -Kaci P.
Well, what I can say except EXCEPTIONAL!!!!! Please relay to your entire culinary and wait staff what an extraordinary job they did and how delighted our patrons were with yesterday’s catering! Never easy to do seated meals off-premise, but you and your staff made it look easy and effortless. And, the icing on the cake was how many rave reviews we received on the cuisine (I think most people expect off-premise dining to be less than stellar) – don’t think there were ANY empty plates at lunchtime that went back to the kitchen. And several guests asked me “Who did the catering? It was wonderful!” Many, many thanks for such a terrific job, as always, and the Foundation will certainly keep you in mind for future events. -Shelley K.
