As we wrap up the weekend, we just wanted to say thank you to our Shanghai crew for all the hard work this summer! Happy Labor Day to one HARD WORKING staff who works long hours in the hot sun, handles long lines and crowds, and makes it happen 7 days a week!

THANK YOU TO: the kitchen staff who just gets pummeled with back to back tickets, yet manages it efficiently 99% of the time. The bar staff who basically doesn't even have time to drink a sip of water themselve, but you try to get out all those drinks for everyone else. The ship store staff who handles the long lines, and comes down from the stock rooms with piles of more clothes to hang dat after day. The maintenance crew who keeps this place afloat and battles storms and wind when everyone else is indoors, you guys are out turning wrenches. The gas dock crew, who runs to help boaters dock and gas up in the hot summer heat and hike up loads of trash uphill. The house keeping staff who manages to keep the rooms and tiny homes immaculately cleaned with no speck if dust anywhere in the rooms, big hotel chains can't even do that! The serving & hostess staff, who handles serving all of the guests food hour after hour, day after day, it's a hard job some days, but you handled those crowds!

From the Shanghai Crew to our customers: we TRYYYY our BEST every year to accommodate everyone, we know we fail from time to time. But we dust off our shoes and get back up and do it all over again, and again. We thank you for visiting us year after year!!!!โค๏ธ

Starting this Wednesday: Pizza, wings, and full bar! It's back to school time, which means we take it back a notch, and wind down on Wednesdays. Every year for the passed 5 or *more years we have had wind-down Wednesdays in an effort to slow the pace down at Shanghai so we can allow more staff a day off.

We do typically have a few upset customers the first couple weeks who have not heard about the change yet on Wednesdays. As the lake season winds down for all marinas on Norris Lake, we would caution anyone to be on the look out for changes in hours, menu, and closing days.

We still have a lot of warm days and sunny weather ahead, so Shanghai will remain OPEN for several weeks after Labor Day!โ˜€๏ธ For now, the only change is on Wednesdays!
