“Solid local mainstay when you’re feeling a bit fancy but not “ooo la la,” if you know what I mean? We went with 6 adults and 3 kids under 5 for a low-key birthday brunch. I wouldn’t say the food was phenomenal, but I liked what I ordered, and the servers were attentive. I’d recommend this for a lazy Sunday when you want to get together with some friends for solid options but no major frills.“

“We are an entertainment service company that specializes in small ensemble/DJ combos. We performed at our first wedding at The Herb Lyceum in early October and were blown away. First of all, the garden and grounds are LOVELY, the food is OUTSTANDING and the staff were all WONDERFUL. Everyone there was friendly and professional, and truly allowed us to do what we do best, and we felt fully supported to do our jobs. Often with outdoor venues, we have issues with power, but not here! We had ample power for the ceremony, dinner reception and the dance party under the tent, running some heavy wattage sound and lights. We very much look forward to coming back to do more events in the future!“
