| - "Great party location" is nothing to boast about.
My sister and I reserved Afton Tavern's meeting room for my mom's birthday party. We had a total of 30 guests. I will first start by saying one of the managers, Jordan, was great with answering questions and making sure details were perfect. However, she was not the manager who was in charge of setup/breakdown of the party. The other general manager, who will not be named, was not warm or friendly at all.
The location is convenient, and the room was beautiful. The food and service were nothing to brag about. We had one "head" waitress. Salads and drinks were constantly "mixed up," meaning they weren't received or she didn't add them to the proper tab.
If you are planning a meeting here, make sure you get a room rental agreement in writing. We were given different information by 3 different people. We called and were told it was perfectly OK to come in and setup the cake/decorations early (while the restaurant was dead) During the party, this same general manager, had stated that we would be charged a rental fee for "setting up." There was some verbal miscommunication with Afton that should have been resolved by getting something in writing.
Overall, my mom had a great time with family and friends. She still remains unaware of the party speed bumps.
Party planners beware: get details from Afton Tavern in writing.
