Every time I have been to The Key Room for an event, the organization is superb, the food delicious, the staff is so gracious and polite. With your help and guidance, everything went smoothly and without a hitch. We can’t thank you enough.

Once again, the Key Room team came through with terrific support for our event, greatly contributing to the success of the event. The food was tasty as always, the service staff was professional and efficient.

—Chris Anderson, Alzheimer’s Association – North Bay

The whole evening went so smoothly. Everyone raved about the food and the service. You have created a fabulous establishment on so many different levels.

—Emily Wikman, San Rafael

The event was a huge success and we had a number of people say that they either did not know about The Key Room and/or they had heard about it but, didn’t realize how nice it was.

—John Lococo, Wealth Advisor
