Restaurant Updates
And just like that, September is behind us. Last month the team at the restaurant has been busy with all the changes you all have come to notice. Chef and his team put out new menus that included Lunch, Dinner, Brunch, and a new limited Sunday Football menu. We also were able to develop a new wine menu that I am sure will please you all In September we hosted several events such as Woman in Pink, The Ladies Member-Guest, the Men’s Member-Guest, the Family Luau and a few more private events that the entire team played a vital role in The new addition of the salad bar has continued to be a hit during lunch service so if you haven’t stopped in to enjoy it, I highly recommend you do
October is a busy month for us as well around the restaurant with a few private events, outings, and club events. The Oyster Roast & Low Country Boil is marked on the calendar for Saturday the 21st so be sure to sign-up online. Trunk or Treat will have a different format this year that we think will be more accommodating so this is also an event that you should check out. Lastly, this month we will be hosting a coursed-out wine dinner at the restaurant. This will be a ticketed event with very limited seats available, so be sure to keep an eye out for that email for details.
Lastly, I want to remind everyone that the best way to reach me is by email. If for any reason anyone needs to reach me, please feel free to send me an email at ebuchanan@cramermountainclub.com.
We look forward to seeing you all at your club.
