I was stopped in the lobby this morning by a guest  who was singing the praises about Ryan……

Way to go Ryan, the guest was blown away with your patience and willingness to please them.   He even said no other hotel Front Desk person would have been as accommodating and nice about it as Ryan was…..I guess his wife was being a bit difficult, but Ryan handled it with class and grace.

Keep it up Ryan and all the great Front Desk Staff!!!!!!!

Blues Cruise Booking Procedure

1.     Start a reservation like you normally do and put in January 17^th, 2009

            (the only day this is available)

2.   Go to the rate picker and select, "Music Event".

3.   Put in the number of guests!!!   The rate changes dramatically

depending on how   many people.

4. If you want a breakdown of charges it is shown in the "Stay breakdown".

I guess the word is out in the kitchen, so let's make it official.   Skinny Jay's last day will be Sunday October 26^th.   We will rebrand the restaurant as Blues & Greens, Local Food, Live Music.   The general theme of Blues & Greens will be in keeping with the sustainability efforts that we have made at the hotel.   We will feature many locally grown and produced products, obviously more in the summer and less in the winter.   We will offer vegan and vegetarian items as well as good old fashion (locally raised beef) hamburgers, other meat items and some seafood.   The menu will have some set items and many specials which will change each night to allow us to take advantage of local produce and meat, which as you can guess will vary in terms of availability.   We will be hiring kitchen staff.   The two main cooks in the Kitchen will be Nebojsa and Dan (at least for the first several months…at some point Dan will move on).

My apologies for keeping you in the dark, I was waiting for Jay to inform his staff.   The restaurant will be closed October 27 through October 31^st for repairs and renovations.   The bar will be closed on Oct 27 & 28.   More to follow at this weekend's meeting for dining room staff.   If you have questions before then, please feel free to ask them.

The Boulder Convention & Visitors Bureau is looking for some beautiful normal people to sit in a restaurant enjoying food and the company on Wednesday, October 15. We need at least four people per shoot.
