Advertising Works... especially when you back it up...

Lately I've noticed a few new advertisements from the Murphy Group of Restaurants talking about focusing on their culinary skills and putting it back into their products and services... I'm going to be frank here and say that previously I found their operations to be a bit "hit and miss" on the food quality so I was very intrigued when I started to see these news ads talking about quality and service... I was even more curious when I heard a couple of people at the office talking about "Castello's Ristorante & Pizzeria" and the great meal they recently had there... so the Princess and I along with another couple headed out to "Castello's" last night and we had an excellent meal... I had a "too die for" Caesars salad followed by "hand prepared" spaghetti... "Spaghettini Con Polpette" with fresh meatballs... the Princess and others split a "Caprese" salad not quite as good as the Landmark Cafe's but still good and they followed that with the day's special which consisted of an Italian style bruschetta stuffed chicken quarter with roasted potatoes and fresh veggies that again was excellent... the girls had some wine and we all had a great time... the service was great and the atmosphere was friendly, cozy and fun... the decorating and investment come from Kathy and Kevin and it's first class and far ahead of what you'd find in much bigger markets... the advertisement got us out and the quality, service and value will get us back... we have a lot of culinary choice here on PEI and it’s great to see the Murphy Group stepping up and leading the way to that “great experience” our tourists are looking for... keep it up everyone... http://www.castellosristorante.com/

It's not bad, Tim, but "it's first class and far ahead of what you'd find in much bigger markets..." is significantly over-egging the pudding.
