“We typically work at the Waterview several times a year as we are local full-time wedding photographers. It is one of our favorite venues in Connecticut - or anywhere! We love the beautiful location along the Housatonic/Lake Zoar, the well-kept and photogenic grounds, the spacious and elegant interior, and the attentive, friendly, easy-going staff. It is always a pleasure to book a wedding here, and I know it will go absolutely seamlessly in heat or cold, rain or shine. The west or east sides both have charming and unique looks if your wedding is small or 300+ people. Even when there are two events occurring you’d never know it. The food is sensational whenever we’ve had time to eat. There are so many ways to capture the space, and we are always finding new ones despite being here a few times each spring and fall. As a FAA Part 107 licensed drone pilot, I always appreciate the views afforded in the skies, too. The Waterview’s bright spaces and enormous windows let us play with natural light as much as possible. If you work in this industry you know every wedding has a mishap or two from something forgotten at home, a sudden change in the weather, the party being stuck in traffic, etc. Everyone at the Waterview rolls with the punches so well, and the venue allows us all to collectively handle this turbulence with grace. You can shift a part of the itinerary, find a place to shoot and hide before the ceremony behind the building, or spend more time being waited on in the amazing bridal suite. Even the restrooms are clean and the parking is ample/easy. While this is written from the perspective of a small business owner, this is an unbiased and unsponsored review. I/we simple appreciate the perfect days we’ve enjoyed there. A huge thanks to the wonderful staff for all their help over the years, and here’s to timeless memories for dozens of weddings to come!

“We have known and worked with Cathy for over a decade. She and her team have never disappointed. Always delivers terrific food and service. Extremely responsive and prompt. Goes above and beyond to ensure not only fantastic food and service, but prompt and efficient setup and cleanup. Highly recommend.“

“Our company has been using Cafe 4 catering for years, each month for lunch. Everything we have ever ordered is always fresh & delicious. Our all time favorite is the Malin salad with grilled chicken. The balsamic vinaigrette is to die for. Also they have the best chicken salad wraps & turkey club wrap with chipotle mayo. All their sandwiches are great! Do yourself a favor & stop in for lunch, you will not be disappointed!“

“Michelle and Jim helped us put together a wonderful fully vegan buffet for our wedding. Most of our guests were not vegan, yet we received many, many compliments on how delicious the food was. They helped us plan the flow of the event and set up a beautiful looking buffet at our venue. All staff present were very professional. We got a great compliment about the passed appetizers at the cocktail hour. We wouldn't have changed anything and are very happy with their services.“

“Went there for lunch...we had both specials...broccoli abd mushroom flatbread and clams over linguini...my husband was in heaven with the clams. This is one of if his favorite dishes and this was a top 10 rating. The place was super clean and friendly. We will be back! A 10 rating...5 stars x2!“

Everything was handled so smoothly, which allowed us to truly enjoy our day without worrying about anything. Pete made sure everything ran perfectly, and it showed.
We’re so grateful for the care and effort that went into making our wedding such a great experience for our guests.“

“Snack time, so fresh and delicious Thank you 👸“

“This company is phenomenal. I reached out to Honeyplate on an extremely last minute basis to see if they could help me coordinate (from afar) meals for my sister, who just had a baby. The owner, Josh, called me right away and personally ensured that I was able to get healthy meals to an overwhelmed postpartum mom less than 24 hours after we spoke. The food is also amazing, but that's an accolade I list second solely because it's worth really highlighting the unparalleled integrity and thoughtfulness this company operates with, from the top down. I can't recommend Honeyplate more highly!“

“Best raviolis ever! Buy them at big Y. Worth every Penny.“

“Omg!!! Absolutely wonderful!!! I was so nervous because 1- I’m not from Connecticut so I had no idea where to cater from and 2- I’ve never catered before (I always do my own cooking), I was not disappointed!!! Everyone raved how good everything was. Yezzy was wonderful to work with and delivery was exceptional😄Everything was beyond my expectations!“

“sooo good, went back two days in a roll.

The potatoes were perfectly seasoned and tender, toast was buttery and soft, and the omelette as you can tell from the video was very packed with meat and pepper.

All for under $12 - will definitely be back again“

“Highly Recommend Executive Chef! They catered a 60th birthday party for my husband. The food was excellent and the servers were so professional and helpful. Chef Ron did an amazing job and Robin was a pleasure to work with. All our guests couldn't stop complimenting the food and service.“

“The food is exceptionally well. This was my first time at this establishment and I will definitely frequent it more often. I must say it's one of the best tasting SeaFood I've had in a while. I've seen the post on Instagram and just decided to go and give it a try, it was worth my 50 minutes drive. Great seasoning with a wonderful combination of spice that leaves your taste buds screaming for more. Definitely satisfaction meets expectation here ?“

“We just had Ernie and his crew this weekend for a huge party. We had multiple food trucks and stationary bites. Everything was exceptional - from the friendly staff, wonderful service, to the delicious food. I cannot recommend them more highly! Truly made our party a fabulous event.“

“Fortuna's catered my wedding at the Beardsley Zoo this past weekend - we had the edible garden table for cocktail hour, taco station and Greek station for dinner, and crême brulée for dessert. Kristin was an absolute pleasure to work with; her enthusiasm and creativity is unmatched and made the process so stress-free and fun! She loved all my wacky ideas and really ran with them to the fullest potential. Pricing is extremely reasonable, menu entirely customizable, and most importantly the food was incredible (it all got eaten!) Thank you so much Fortuna's!“
