FInally have a minute to post this - been a crazy busy week so far. Just wanted to let everyone know how great the Clubhouse was to us and thank them so much for coming through for us. Last Friday nite was DIL's 30th birthday and we had planned an outside party for her, her friends, our friends and family. Well leave it to Mother Nature to decide to be 28 degrees that night so at the last minute and i mean the last minute, Thursday to be exact i asked LeeAnn if there was any way possible to reserve tables for Friday nite at 7pm and totally expected a no as Friday nite is always slammed up there with waiting lines to eat. But amazingly she did it for us and it was a great night, we actually filled the long table she held and a few booths on top of it and everyone had a great time, the food was great, and the service was awesome:hurray::hurray::hurray: On another note, I was very disappointed in CDH. Some of us left the Clubhouse and went to have an after dinner drink and i witnessed something up to this time i had only heard about and never seen for myself. I was totally surprised by the manager that night when he told an outright lie to his father and refused to allow a very sober and nice guy to stay in the restaurant due to a previous disagreement said Mgr had had with the patron. i was very proud of the said patron as he very calmly questioned it and the son got bent out of shape to point of telling a point blank lie and raising his voice basically acting extremely childish. No, there was no big drama or show to see or anything as the group left without causing any trouble but having been a longtime patron and supporter of CDH i was very disturbed to have to come to believe that all the stories i had been told in the past about this manager were true:cry: i have always defended him when i heard others talk about him but now i can no longer do that and it saddens me. Some people are born to manage and some are not. Successful managers would never behave in such an unprofessional manner and through his words let people know how much he hates his job and having to deal with people, both patrons and staff. So very sad.
:lol::lol::lol: yeah, what happened to getting a Friday night thing organized at everyone's house?:cheers:
Hey i am not afraid to admit i was wrong and in this circumstance i was wrong about him, guess i had to see it in person to see the truth - shoulda listened to ya i guess
thanks Mafiaman, DH says i am too trusting and gullible when it comes to how people really are. Thanks for reinforcing my belief to always give everyone the benefit of the doubt until i am proven wrong:grouphug:
Hey all, just wanted to let ya know, this year the Clubhouse is doing St Paddy's day twice, once on Sat w/DJ and on Wed, the actual day. The only difference from what i understand is the DJ, both nights will be the free food, specials on drinks, etc. www.clubhouse4042.com We have been several years and it is always a good time:cheers:
I'll be there St Pats Day, its my bday and hubby wants corned beef and hash (yuck). This way i dont have to cook and he gets his dinner!

Honestly never heard of the corned beef and hash meal for St. Patrick's day. But I do love me some corned beef and cabbage. http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/160319/st_patricks_day_traditions_customs.html?cat=22 BTW...I always take a half day to start the celebrations early. If the holiday falls on a work day.
