Creating Grand Traditions in Every Season - The Spirit of Grand Lake

July, 2010

PROFESSIONALS WITH A HEART!

What do you remember most about a wedding? The bride? Certainly, the beautiful bride. And, the food? Ah, the food.

The food from J.R.'s Grill Catering at the Western Riviera Event Center in Grand Lake, Colorado is a visual feast as well as scrumptious eating. Figs drizzled with honey glisten on golden toasts, grilled vegetables are slightly charred & aromatic, peppered, pink tinged tenderloin waits to be carved & dressed with flavorful mushroom au jus sauce. Delicious! 

J.R.'s Grill Catering will not disappoint. Alyda & J.R., the owners, are as competent as they are caring. It's not just the food - and you have a lot of options to choose from; from hamburger to tenderloin, from chicken wings to chicken piccata and everything in between. It's really the two of them who knock themselves out to make your event one to remember. Alyda & J.R. are wonderful to work with. They are willing to help with every detail of a party or event, not just with the food.

Grand Lake is a beautiful spot, a town fairly self contained, far from a metropolitan center, so the people they recommend as vendors must be people they trust & up to their high standards.

We couldn't have been more pleased with J.R.'s Grill Catering & the Western Riviera Event Center. At our daughter's wedding, when the bride & groom, and some of their friends went to a local bar after the wedding to continue celebrating, Alyda's son & one of Alyda's friends went to pick them up and made sure they got back to their rooms even though everything in Grand Lake is within walking distance. Professionals with a heart - you bet!

Cooks, caterers, event planners - yes, but in the end it's Alyda & J.R.'s warmth & willingness to make your event as special as it can be that shines through. That - and the food is superb.

Our family has come to know and appreciate the natural beauty of Grand Lake over the last ten years.

Our experiences have now been greatly enhanced with the opening of the Western Riviera Lakeside Events Center where we and dozens of guests thoroughly enjoyed a wedding reception there yesterday.

This venue was the perfect place to enjoy the spectacular scenery and lakeside activities and the experience was greatly enhanced by the services provided by J.R.'s Grill Catering. What a perfect combination.

Thank you Mike and Jackie Tompkins and the J.R.'s Grill staff for growing our appreciation of Grand Lake to unexpectedly higher levels. The Western Riviera Lakeside Events Center is a perfect place to host a special for any occasion.

Best regards,
Robert C. "Bob" Balink

I want to express my appreciation for the fabulous rehearsal luncheon that John and Alyda orchestrated for our son's wedding celebration. Their expertise in catering was magnified in the many facets of this event. Alyda was so helpful in assisting me through long distance planning - through our conversations, she provided insights in the planning that proved invaluable.

When we arrived at the site, it was set up beautifully. It was obvious countless hours had been rendered in our behalf. We have had rave reviews on the menu. Alyda fine tuned it to meet our needs, and it was absolutely delicious. It was what one might expect from a five star restaurant - the meat was succulent and the salad and dressings fresh and tantalizing.

I commend both Alyda and John for this exceptional event that will stay etched in our lifetime celebrations as one of the best ever!

With "grand" appreciation,

Hello Alyda - My friends and I had a wonderful time at your restaurant several weeks ago and really enjoyed the food. We will definitely be back!

Hi there, I just wanted to let you know my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal as you had opened it up to the pubic. The food was top tier quality and the tri-tip steak sandwich was fantastic.

All the best !!!
