“We booked the Grove at the Checkerboard for our wedding, and everything was PERFECT!
The whole planning process was painless, they responded quickly to all of my questions in the months leading up to the event, and went through every detail with us to ensure the night went smoothly.
The morning of, we arrived to decorate, and the tables & chairs already in position exactly how we discussed, and Mark was putting tablecloths out. He checked and rechecked throughout the day to make sure everything was spotless and that no critters or bugs came to join the party, and that the wind didn't interfere with any decorations.
The Grove is a beautiful space! It was perfect for our crowd of family & friends. We had over 100 guests and there wouldve been room for many more tables if needed. Theres also seperate bathrooms at the grove, and a large game room that was the perfect space to get ready, and to freshen up throughout the night, and it was the perfect space for the kids/teens to play and keep themselves entertained.
The trees and grass were beautiful in all the pictures, and our guests enjoyed exploring the area & playing horseshoes! We were fortunate enough to have perfect weather, but the pavilion does have walls that can be pulled closed if it rains.
Theres a massive menu to choose from. We chose to do 2 entrees buffet style, but table service is also an option- and the food was phenomenal!
They also offer different choices for drinks- fountain drinks/coffee was included, and theres options to pay by the keg/bottle, or unlimited drinks, we chose to include beer & wine (2 beer options, 3 wine) and did cash bar for liquor, & no one minded walking across the lawn for an extra drink!
Mark was on the ball- from setting up, to serving food, clearing tables, and making sure the drink table stayed full, there was not a single hiccup the whole night
Overall, they were fantastic to deal with. We spent a fraction of what we originally anticipated, and everything was perfect. Our guests had an awesome time, and I would 10000% recommend the Grove/The Checkerboard to anyone looking to throw a great party with great food!“

“I had a wonderful experience at Rustic Kitchen Bistro & Bar. The filet mignon and lobster tail were cooked perfectly, and the flavors were rich and well-balanced. The service was exceptional attentive, friendly, and truly welcoming. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making the whole evening even more enjoyable. Definitely a place I would recommend for a quality dining experience.“

“From the owners to the cooks and bartenders. Easy to deal with helpful and the food slaps. Hands down the best Mule I've had in NEPA. The food hits different than the average bar food. You can go there feel safe enjoy your time without being harassed or pressured. Michelle Aaron David Platinum Christina. All amazing people.“

“The Cafe is a comfortable spot for lunch or dinner. The food choices are posted on the wall for customer consideration and ordering at the counter. The food is mysteriously delivered by a member of the staff. I chose a chicken Caesar wrap. It was full of chicken but was a bit dry on this occasion, more lettuce and dressing was needed. It was served with potato chips (meh) and a pickle chip. My friend ordered a club sandwich with special modifications. It also was served with potato chips. We each enjoyed soft drinks -- lemonade and Sprite. A full bar is available which includes specialty coffees. I recommend this long-standing restaurant.“

“There's something about that tray of traditional red that keeps us coming back for more. Add some often-rotating and very creative wing sauce varieties and it's sure to be a crowd pleaser. I know they're a local favorite, I know they have their devoted followers, but I really do feel like it's one of the more unique pizza offerings in our area. We got takeout and it was ready right on time. I hesitate to say it, but I mean it in the most delicious, addictive way; it's like a thinner, tastier, less stick-to-the-roof-of-your-mouth-ish Nardone’s style (in shape and feel), with a more complex cheese build. It's a hybrid tray/bar pie vibe, and you'll wonder how many cuts you can take before others do the math. My son ordered the cheesesteak; I had a hard time verbalizing ‘just steak and cheese’ but check that picture out, I think he's onto something. The wing sauces don't feel weighed down by butter or additives; they're bright, flavorful and unique blends that you can experiment with, since you can get orders as small as six bone-in wings. One of the sauces we tried was Szechuan orange, almost reminiscent of Asian duck; sweet and tangy with a little peppery zing, the boneless bites come SAUCED. I still prefer the regular wings. And it would be criminal not to mention Grandma Kelsey's Pizza, which might not adhere strictly to the Grandma lineage (whatever that is) but is certainly in my top 3 grandma pies locally; really incredible!“

“We used Grico’s to cater our wedding and they were fantastic to work with. The catering manager, Marissa, was so easy to communicate with and promptly answered any questions that came up. They had a great selection of meal options and we chose the chicken francaise, blackened salmon with raspberry sauce, and filet mignon. All food choices were INCREDIBLE and all our guests were raving how great the food was. The service was top notch and the bartenders kept our drinks full all night. 10/10 service. We recommend Grico’s to anyone looking for an affordable wedding caterer!“

“A huge thank you to Donna and her staff for another great event for us! This is the third time we’ve used Center City Cafe to cater a party and she did another amazing job. Everyone raved about the “build your own taco bar.” My favorite part was that Donna came to set up for us (every time), which took so much pressure off of us the morning of our event so we could concentrate on other things.“

“Delicious Mocha. Really near interior design. Food is very good. I had The Chicken Sando which was excellent.
The last two times I ate here, the smell of the cleaning products or disinfectants is overwhelming. I appreciate that it's clean, but it almost made me want to leave with how strong the odor is.“

“I have dined here several times and the food was awsome. I had the crabcakes. I was really excited to see two large crabcakes. I was a little confused as why they would serve with mashed potato's but I went with the flow. Honestly they were the worst crabcakes ever. No taste. All breading!. Insult to injury..our server took my plate back and I heard nothing! Not the servers fault.. he was awsome. I will not be back because chefs should stand behind their food.“
