Fabulous Birthday Celebrations Featuring a Sweet Taste of Treasure Island History!

Adding even more excitement to the glamorous evening were three special birthday celebrations, making this MG Ad Agency Dress Dinner Party an especially memorable occasion!

The birthday festivities included a delightful surprise that brought back a beloved piece of local restaurant history: Robby’s famous pancake stack, topped with fresh strawberries, a delicious berry reduction, and whipped cream!

This special birthday treat was much more than a delicious dessert. It represented a wonderful connection to the location’s remarkable history and family traditions.
