Last year we at WCYC rented it for our annual club dinner party. Some of us were not satisfied with the service we got (namely me).... We ordered the lobster/clam bake with steaks for the ones who don't eat seafood. The party was for 80 people and we supplied the band. Would you believe they ran out of food... Not just the corn and potatoes but the steaks as well, the last five of us in line just got salads and rolls to eat... We complained to the owner of the Inn (who was with us on the cruise), he said, "Gee, that's to bad, but we served 80 meals, just what you paid for." Some of us went home hungry and disappointed that we paid $29 for all the salad and rolls we could eat.

So here's the tip.... If it’s a combination meal, give out tickets with the proper meal on it and make sure they (the Inn) bring enough for everyone and then some. What if someone get s a bad lobster, stake or what have you, don't you think it would be nice to have a backup instead of someone dissatisfied to the point where they need to air it out here....

We did count how many guests on board and we had and we only had 79 including the band members. It was just poor planning on the Inn’s part, which they never offered to make right.
