Very disappointed with Easter brunch. It was my first time eating out for a holiday. I will never do that again. The Meatballs were very salty. Carving beef over cooked. Food trays were empty. Several items on the menus weren’t there. Staff didn’t understand English. Mimosas tasted like Straight orange juice. Desserts were almost empty the two times I tried to get desserts. The bow tie pasta was extremely undercooked. Extremely disappointing for me as I was in the restaurant business for over 40 years. The close to 400.00 I spent I could have made a much more enjoyable dinner!

Our family has been going here for Easter brunch for over a decade, it was always a great time. This year we were unfortunately sat upstairs, where the layout absolutely sucks compared to being sat downstairs as we have been all these years (you shouldn't even be charged full price for this experience)... Since they are trying to pack in as many paying clients as possible, they stuff ALL the buffet tables in the hallway, where you are forced to duck and dodge servers going in and out of the kitchen with trays of food and dirty dishes. Not to mention, you are stuck only accessing most tables from one side, and you'll spend most of the time you'd like to be chatting with your family sitting in a long line in the hallway. Plus, appetizers were at the far end of the line from plates...so you'll wait forever to have a meal in reverse? Stupid.You'd think this place knows how to move patrons in and out, but instead of putting the appetizer stations/carving stations inside the main dining area, they rather get more tables in the main room to maximize profits at the detriment of customer experience, leaving you spending the bulk of your meal in the hallway jockeying for position to get food. Absurd.There's also nowhere NEAR enough waitstaff, if you're going to stick a table of ten people with a 20% mandatory gratuity, you'd expect excellent service, which you won't receive. You would think after waiting 20 minutes in the hallway holding a plate while your food goes cold, you'd AT LEAST come back to your table to have your last plate moved, but alas, they can't figure that out apparently. So now you're self-bussing your table, trying to make room at a huge table of people so that you can continue your meal. This is the sort of service I wouldn't even consider tipping 10% on, let alone 20%. I'm willing to bet servers don't get 20% of sales either, the establishment likely pockets the bulk of it while they screw waitstaff. Ridiculous.Generally the food is alright, but I wouldn't know since my plates were cold by the time I FINALLY got out of line. I always looked forward to their Braciola, but it was so damned salty, it was inedible. Make sure you bring your nitro pills, as you may have a heart attack from the sodium, inedible dogsh1t...Clearly none of the cooks tasted it before it went out the door...no quality control here clearly... Awful.Step it up, guys. You don't have many jobs as a banquet hall, and clearly you can't figure out any of them. At least we only lost $600ish here, I'd hate to be this disappointed after spending $50k on a wedding here.

The food was ok. There was plenty of food. Felt like we were being rushed. The staff took all place setting before finished. Also our water bottle had something floating in it and the server did not understand what I was trying to say.

Great atmospher. Food was delicious, drinks were weak. Its really classy. Was there for a awards ceremony for my sister as well as others. It was a great time . The bathroom was gorgeous. It was a buffet style set up with great food options. Desert was delivered at table by weit staff.

I attended a formal at this venue. The place was lovely, spacious, clean restrooms and the staff was nice. We were served a buffet style dinner which was layed out beautifully. I didn’t like the spices on everything, but for the most part the food was really good. I think it was the beef or pork that had a lovely smooth gravy was most delicious. I’m not sure of the pricing for this venue because I was attending but if I had an occasion that needed catering I would certainly consider them. I don’t know they’re pricing, as to the reason for me giving them 4 and not 5 stars.
