The “DO UNTO OTHERS” report.
Tuesday, August 24th, 2010Got Gratitude? We do! Introducing, The Fish House Happy Hour Bouquet
Tuesday, August 10th, 2010
It seems to me that the simplest of words in the English language have been too easily forgotten. While we move a mile a minute, we sometimes forget the importance that a “thank you” can hold. Two simple words can mean so many things, if said the right way, sincerely, in the correct context.
While we are on the subject of the English language, perhaps we should share that “no problem,” “not a big deal,” and “don’t worry about it” are not synonymous with “thank you.” The three first phrases indicate that time is up, there is no time left for a conversation. To look a person in the eyes and say a genuine thank you is invaluable.
Now that we have clearly decided that a thank you is necessary, what is the best way to go about it? Too often we open up the good ol’ e-mail and send a few small words of appreciation through cyberspace. Don’t get me wrong; I love e-mail! But, a thank you card or flowers mean so much more. It says that you have truly taken time out of your day to tell me thank you. Not only is saying thank you invaluable, it is crucial to make a thank you tangible.
Looking for a new and exciting way to say thank you? The Pensacola Fish House and local florist, Fiore, have partnered to offer The Fish House Happy Hour Bouquet. Dr. Derek Jones with the Medical Center Clinic recently received a Fish House Happy Hour Bouquet and truly enjoyed it. “What a unique and creative way to send a thank you! I’m hooked!” exclaimed Dr. Jones. This beautiful floral arrangement paired with free drink cards for The Fish House is a perfect way to say thank you in a unique and concrete way!

Restaurant Week at the Great Southern Restaurant Group
Thursday, August 5th, 2010
One of the great things about traveling is experiencing the local cuisine. It really enriches the experience and allows the traveler to have an honest sense of the region’s people and food.
A lot of cities offer an event called Restaurant Week to highlight local chefs and their eateries. These events typically include a fixed-price menu with multiple courses that allows customers to try what the participating restaurants have to offer.
The Fish House, Jackson’s Steakhouse and Atlas Oyster House will team up August 10 – 14, 2010, to present the debut of Restaurant Week. Similar to events in cities all around the country, Restaurant Week is a culinary celebration that offers residents and visitors alike world-class dining at a great value.
“We created the GSRG Restaurant Week event to highlight Pensacola as a premier dining destination providing an opportunity to enjoy a special menu from each of our restaurants,” said Collier Merrill, President of the Great Southern Restaurant Group (GSRG). “With the current state of affairs here in Pensacola, this will give everybody another occasion to enjoy a great evening Downtown.”
Chefs from each restaurant will prepare a stellar three-course, fixed-price dinner menu utilizing the best in local and seasonal ingredients, showcasing their culinary expertise for $33.00 per person, per restaurant. Diners are encouraged to try each special menu at all three restaurants during Restaurant Week. Menus will be available at each restaurant Tuesday, August 10, through Saturday, August 14, beginning at 5:00 p.m.
