In the kitchen cooking yesterday afternoon when bam it's pouring rain in the kitchen and a black flood is pouring everywhere. We shut down the gas and all the water to the building and its still pouring. The fire department shows up and it's a faulty fire sprinkler head and hot water heater and floods out the kitchen and restaurant 30 minutes before the Naples wine club is scheduled to come with 150 people. They show up as we are mopping out all the water and the fire department and inspectors are checking everything out. The Cash registers and computer servers get blown out from the flood as well. When the guests arrive they all chip in and help us straighten out as much as possible we had to order in pizzas since the kitchen was down. Once the inspectors and fire department said everything was safe they all joined in and had a really good time and everyone at iiwii wants to thank everyone from the Naples wine club for all their understanding and help last night and for bringing such a wonderful group of people to the restaurant. Their help and understanding is greatly appreciated. We hope to see them all again under normal circumstances.
Sincerely,
Dean, Tamra, Kevin, natty, cj and the rest of the iiwii family.
Also want to thank the collier county fire dept and inspectors for their great work and speed in assisting us in getting the restaurant back open for the party. As usual collier counties finest do a great job.
