I can guarantee the Head Chef will appreciate the professionalism of this venerable Spa fave beginning with the owner/hostess Brenda Lee, David on the bar, the superior food quality, preparation, and service by the entire staff.A racetrack crowd fave.<BR/><BR/>Oftentimes dismissed by the trendy as "dining at grandma's", or "passe by 30 years" but don't believe it for a minute! The highest quality food well prepared and competently served never goes out of style- better book ahead, especially on a week-end. /S/Green Mtn PunterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-48640108962349759512008-08-21T02:01:00.000-04:002008-08-21T02:01:00.000-04:00no one eats at p.j.'sno one eats at p.j.'sAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-16661539871954455442008-08-21T01:17:00.000-04:002008-08-21T01:17:00.000-04:00Uh ...
