Sticks and Stones recently celebrated a rare honor: being awarded a Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence.

We recently caught up with co-owner Steve Holmes, who told us what this honor means.

“This is a tremendous honor for myself, Gary (Tromblee, a co-owner) and all of the staff. “Awards like this, come not from critics, but from our customers. This is a high honor, indeed.”

Now in its 5th year, the prestigious Certificate of Excellence award recognizes establishments that consistently earn great Trip Advisor reviews from travelers.

From TripAdvisor’s Marc Charron:

"By putting a spotlight on businesses that are focused on delivering great service to customers, TripAdvisor not only helps drive an improvement to hospitality standards around the world, it also gives businesses both large and small the ability to shine and stand out from the competition.”

“Gary and I are both delighted and proud of our Team and their commitment to excellence. Cheers!”
