As we check out different places to eat in and around San Diego, were always on the prowl for outstanding service, great food and top-notch servers, especially now that we offer a monthly contest. Thats right; when we spot those who gives us their best service we nominate them on our Facebook page and ask our followers to

vote for the best. The restaurant and server with the most likes and comments wins. Whoever wins, wins big! For the months of September, October and November, we had the privilege of offering a three-night stay at MontBleu Resort Casino & Spa in Lake Tahoe to the GETAWAY Server and Restaurant of the Month.
