Attended a retirement party in mid September and the smaller Hall used was appropriate for the event. The outside scenery is very nice especially during spring, summer and fall however, they need some upkeep in order to maintain the place. I saw cracks to their foundation and stairs were in disrepair. This is their major selling point.
Food and service need major improvements. The food was served in a buffet style heating pans as the menu consisted of some chicken (fried and in sauce), pasta, salad and vegetables. The dinner food was either salty or bland. The pasta was overcooked and doused in sauce. The appetizers were a little better and consisted of bread crumb covered shrimp, arancini and small pizza slices. Overall, I rate the food below average.
Service was uneven. The servers were okay and for the most part, they were attentive. The staff was a mix of students and older people. However, in the middle of the retirement speech, the bartender in the cash bar and the kitchen staff were having a loud conversation that we could hear and was interrupting the speech giver. The speech giver had to stop and tell the staff to be quiet. Very unprofessional and rude! I thought it was common sense to be quiet but it's obvious some people don't have that.
It's a shame since the outside grounds is beautiful and with proper food and staff, this place could become a 5 star hall.
