Assuming that the bartender does not under or over cook it Imported (or not) beer in a bottle is not a good example of YC fare. The YC only serves it - no preparation except refrigeration is needed. I can deal easily with poor service, but when the food is not to ones liking, time after time, one doesn't have any desire to return. I spoke to the YC manager the last time I was there about a problem and would not hesitate to tell him about any problem or complement. I remember being able to get a tuna salad sandwich, a BLT, or a chicken salad sandwich at the pool bar for lunch after swimming for the morning. Simple fare is no longer available. As I get older (not old) my system can't handle some spices or methods of preparation of the food available. So I must go to restaurants where I can order the items I can eat. I would be hard pressed to spend $84 for coffee or iced tea. I spent $15.00 (including tip) at the YC a few weeks ago for a lunch of shrimp tempura, a small salad, and iced tea? Yesterday I took my grandson, Alex, to breakfast in PA at the Cracker Barrel and spent $22 (including tip) for two orders of pancakes, side of scrambled eggs (for Alex), a coke, and coffee. I got more food at less cost than at the YC. Gail |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Robert: I have personally never had those kind of problems you describe at the Yacht Club. Let's look at it this way. I drink an occasional cold beer. The cost of an imported bottle of beer at the Club is a fair $ 3.95. Assuming that the bartender does not under or over cook it I would normally add a 20% tip, or $.80 plus tax of $.24 for a total of say $ 5.00. Now, my wife is also known to enjoy a cold beer, so, I am at $10.00 a round. Let's say that we each have two for a big night out of $20.00. Ok, now divide that, less the tip and tax, into our discussion number of $84.00 and we only need 5.5 more visits and we are done. Robert, while I really do sympathize with your you on your previous problems at the club the only way that those kind of things ever get fixed is by telling Joe or Larry about it. I once got a bad steak at the old Talbot Street Cafe and did not tell the owner because they were personal friends. They found out later and were so mad at me that it almost ended our friendship. Like it or not you and I are in the Yacht Club business and we need to work together to make it a success, or, convince a majority of the board to close it down. Marty |
