Since I was given a response, I'll go a little further into my review. I didn't hate the venue, I thought the bathrooms were nice and outside courtyard was too. The loss in a singular star was over the quality of the food and strange layout of the ceremony. The front was crowded with smokers and vapers and it was hard to breathe. I went back and reviewed a few different places from a trip I had and figured I'd share my review. I don't know what "amazing place" I reviewed but I wouldn't call the venue or the person replying to me "amazing". The noise quality of the venue is echoey and not good for large groups or small.

Mother’s Day brunch was very disappointing. Ran out of a lot of the food and drinks while there was still an hour of reservations left. And the food was quite bland for the price point.

Absolutely disappointing. Not enough food. By the time we left they were down to 1 buffet line. They ran out of almost every breakfast item. They even ran out of fruit!!! How can you be so unprepared for a Mother’s Day event ? I feel really bad for the reservations that were still coming in when we left. 28 plus tax for dry tasteless food and watered down lemonade. I suggest everyone avoid this establishment.
Edit - wow, love the response, what was I going to tell them? Hey can I get some of those potatoes I saw when I came in ? No? You only have French fries now? Be angry all you want, that buffet was a joke and obviously from the other reviews I’m not the only one with that opinion.

Emily the sales manager was kind enough to reach out via email & apologize for the issues. She provided an unexpected refund. Which was much appreciated & fair.
Came for Mother's Day brunch & was extremely disappointed. The venue was clean, staff were nice. But there was hardly any food. No breakfast food was left besides some undercooked sausage, soggy grease filled bacon & a few hard dried out chicken/waffle skewers & biscuits (for biscuits & gravy). Lunch items only consisted of some mac & cheese & what looked to be some sort of beef stroganoff hotdish (not sure). No beverages were left besides some water & watered down lemonade. The website where you make the reservation did advertise the menu is subject to change, but the only thing they actually had that was on the advertised menu was dinner rolls & fruit. I feel like this was huge false advertising. And to charge $30+ per person is crazy to me for poor quality & little food. I do feel that if this is a prepaid reservation only event, they certainly shouldnt have run out of angthing. My son & I ended up leaving after about 30min & eating elsewhere. ?

We did the Mother's Day brunch, and the food was terrible. We got there at noon, and all the food at the buffet was either gone or cold. They started putting out fresh food about a half hour later. Everything they put out was pretty tasteless. It's definitely not worth 28 dollars a person.

Great place, I have been here a couple times for different events. The carpet seems in need of cleaning.

Excellent venue! Amber was great assisting with getting us tickets. Had Easter brunch here, but also have seen various entertainment acts and dinner provided. Prices are beyond reasonable and everything was great! 5 stars for sure!
My husband and I went to a comedy show here a few weekends ago. It was a little confusing, which entrance to use as it didn't state that on the website. We found where to enter and check in was easy. We purchased the general admission and got to choose our seats from 3 different tables in the back. Dinner was a buffet option of tacos and some other add-ins like wings and cheesy potatoes. Everyone seemed to love the cheesy potatoes. The comedy started shortly after the advertised time. There was a opening act, a middle and then a headliner. The comedy was good. Some of it a little awkward but different comedy styles for sure. I'd be interested in coming back out to try it again.

A beautiful space for elegant events! Initially I thought it was attached to a hotel, there was no hotel around this banquet hall but it had all the grandeur. I've attended many events here, weddings, receptions, grand religious celebrations and every single one was private, and special. We didn't walk in through strangers commenting on our cultural attire, or answering questions about what event we were attending, it was just us. In the warmer months the garden in front of the banquet hall creates beautiful backdrops for pictures. It's missing a water element but I'm sure someone creative can create that for you in your decor if you ask. I wish the Twin Cities had more of these!
