The Crest Room

The Crest Room proudly presented Michelle Graci from Rays of Hope a check for $2,350.00 from their multi-day fundraiser. The majority of the funds came from a two day dining event with a percentage of proceeds benefiting the Rays of Hope. The Crest Room also sold Pink Crest Room T-shirt, from Andre’s West Side Sport Shop, with 100% of the proceeds being donated. While this event was ongoing it caught the attention of local business and the City of West Springfield.

With the support of Mayor William Reichelt, Kelley & Katzer Real Estate, White Birch Insurance, Sean Powers of Powers Law Group, John Peterson of People’s Bank, Teri and Tony Douglas of Staging Homes & West Springfield Web Design stepped up with very generous financial donations. From the amazing organization of The Rays of Hope to our wonderful customers…WE THANK YOU ALL!!

Introducing the New General Manager for The Crest Room, Phil Roberts. Phil was born and raised here in West Side. Phil is not new to the restaurant industry, he got his start when he was 16 years old, busing tables at the Storrowton Tavern.

He attended HCC and UMass, graduating from the Eisenberg School of Management with a degree in Hospitality Management. Simultaneously, Phil worked his way up to Food and Beverage Manager at the MassMutual Center. He later moved on to be the youngest General Manager for a large regional restaurant chain.

Phil has worked in the Food and Beverage industry for over 12 years, in every capacity from washing dishes, to prepping and delivering riders for celebrities, to managing large restaurants. Phil’s personal belief is that no workplace can succeed without a team effort, and will try to instill that into everyday on the job.

Phil is looking forward to being part of the new team at The Crest Room!
