WCGS Holiday Meet-up Photos - Dinner at Relish - What a good time!

We met at Relish Craft Kitchen on the evening of Thursday, December 4 for the WCGS Holiday Meet-up. We had a great crowd and lots of fun catching up with everyone. 

Relish was a great place to meet for a group of almost 30. We had a nearly private spot in the elevated room right off the entry. While not totally enclosed, it was roomy and comfortable and the elevation helped neutralize the ambient noise from outside our dining area. We had a top notch waitress who handled our orders without a blink or a miss! She is obviously a trained professional. The food came out quickly and was fabulous all round. Relish has my vote for future meal centered gatherings!

It was truly great to see everyone and I did not hear a lull in the conversation all evening until the food arrived.  Here are some photos we managed to capture of the evening. 

Can I just say --

These ladies are bringing the Chrismas Cheer!
