"I have been remiss in not getting letter out to you sooner but I have been traveling. The Massachusetts Restaurant Association had a fantastic evening on March 10, 2008 at our first-ever "Stars of the Industry" event. You and your crew did an unbelievable job.

In my twenty years with the MRA. I have never had as many compliments as I did as a result of the "Stars" dinner. As a matter of fact, the committee has asked me to see if you would re-book it there either in March or up to mid-April next year depending upon the dates we get for our show in 2009! They even mentioned the fact that you were walking around, in addition to you function manager, John, and stopping at the tables and conversing the quests.

The MRA is grateful to both you and the Lombardo family for their generosity and attention to detail. The dinner was great. The hors d’oeuvres were inviting. The service was fantastic. What can I say? You "nailed" it!

Please let me know if I can do anything to help you in any way. We are grateful for your support and are very proud to have you as members of the MRA."
- Thank you. Sincerely, Peter G. Christie, CAE, President/CEO

"Thank you so much for making Bill's Celebration such a tremendous success. I have heard nothing but accolades and must pass them on to you and your staff. Everything was orchestrated perfectly and for almost a 1,000 people!
The food was delicious and the service was outstanding; and using Vincent's as the cocktail hour was a great idea. Please extend my thanks and gratitude to your team for a job well done.

I even received a call the next day from Carl Yastrzemski of the Red Sox saying he had a great time at the private reception. Thanks again for making the Bill Grize Celebration Committee look good. Great working with you!"
- Sincerely, Natalie Bedgio, Assistant to Bill Grize

"Once again you and the entire staff of Lombardo's assured a highly successful fundraising event on behalf of the Kennedy-Donovan Center. This was the largest crowd, which we have had in the nine years of sponsoring the Founder's Award Gala. The spacious facilities and your flexibility allowed us to accommodate everyone, beautifully display our very large silent auction, and have room for the networking and festivities. Our compliments go to your chef and the staff of the delicious buffet and display of food. The buffet is a highlight of the evening!"
- Paul J. Hudson, President/CEO, Kennedy-Donovan Center, Inc.

"Today I attended the South Shore Chamber of Commerce breakfast with Laretta LaRoche. I am writing to tell you what a fine job you did.

As always, the rooms looked neat, clean and new. Thanks again for doing a great job."
