Unforgettable Memories Shared By Our Guest
Fine dining and the service is impeccable!
Attended a birthday party which I helped to decorate for, the staff was so helpful and accommodating we would not have been able to pull the surprise off without them. The Club provided excellent food!
An amazing date night, was so nice to see so many friends we haven’t seen in a long time. The Italian Night was very entertaining as was the company.
- I’ve been dining here for well over 20 years now, and it just gets better every time I go! Don is a treasure and you can’t find a better meal anywhere else!
Great place to dine for any occasion. Staff is great and food is delicious. Would highly recommend Petroleum Club of MC.
Spent a few hours at a high school reunion here at the Petroleum Club. It was a pretty nice time. Lots of fried seafood, pasta, and chicken on the menu. Most of it was pretty good. The people serving were fantastic. If invited back, I wouldn’t turn it down.
- Scott and the rest of the staff went above and beyond what we asked for while we celebrated our parents’ 80th birthday! I would not hesitate to in trust them with any of our other. family celebrations! Thanks again for everything! The Sweets 80th Birthday Celebration!
