| - A few weeks prior to my visit, my sister had booked this place for a small wedding reception of 22 quest & had been calling me all week to fill me in on the details. Just from the conversations we had , I would've taken my business elsewhere! They required her to spend a minimum of $800.00 even though each quest was paying for their own meal. They refused to allow 4 of the guest to order off of their regular menu & required her to pick only 1 entree & 3 main dishes. Most caterers will at least offer you 2 to 3 entrees and 3 to 4 main dishes for the same price! Then when she met their requirements, they still argued with her until she explained that 3 of the guest have food allergies & that I'm ungodly picky. She said they were kind of rude and not very accommodating.
My fiance & I were first to arrive but they wouldn't let use sit in the reserved room, instead we were shoved up against the wall directly next to the bars entrance. I felt like I was sitting on top of the table behind me. We both ordered the "dark fig", it was so strong I didn't get past a second sip & had pushed it far away from me. But the waitress didn't even bother to ask why I wasn't drinking it, she saw it sitting there & just kept going. Now, common sense tells you, if someone leaves a meal untouched or a drink full to the rim that somethings wrong- like its made wrong or its not what they ordered, but again; she never asked. The drinks were way over priced by the way! The selection of wines that you could order by the glass was beyond sparse, seemed like you could only order a bottle that was $25.00 & up.
When we were finally seated, there were two separate tables shoved into a tiny back room. If you got stuck sitting up against the wall there was no way out because there was only one opening. So if you had all 8 people sitting in the booth & you needed the bathroom, all 7 would have to get up & walk out into the hallway just to make enough room for you to pass :( Then our server hadn't even been informed about the 4 menus set aside for the 4 allergy crippled guest I had to ask for mine & he was uninformed & caught off guard. But his name was Matt & at the end of the night, proved to not only have a great sense of humor but also seemed to be the only one working. Our waitress, McKenzie (& her "helper") were really rude and unaccommodating! They asked everyone to my left if they needed a drink & refills but they never once asked me. So I was stuck with water all night because every time I tried to get their attention they ignored me. In fact, McKenzie disappeared & only Matt & her helper were available, then the helper disappeared & dumped everything on Matt.
I felt really bad for him, again he was great! But they also screwed up the menu & put vegetable tamales on there instead of crappy a** vegetable risotto for $17.00! Seriously, $17 for rice! I got stuck ordering their cheese slate, which they dont let you pick the cheese you just get stuck with whatever they feel like giving you. So, of course they gave me a mustard cheese that was like eating a bottle of stadium mustard straight up. It was horrible! & they didn't give me enough baguette to enjoy my other cheeses or fruit spread. You got a measly 10 pieces, maybe. I also got their french fries but felt they weren't of any better quality than that of Wendy's.
The worst part was the wait, it took them a 1/2 after we ate to offer any drinks or desert. Then when they finally did it took another hour just to get our check! Even though our waitress asked if all of us were in pairs & I saw her making who got what for some reason they couldn't figure out whos bill belonged to who. My fiance & I just wanted to get the heck out of there! Its not hard to go around & ask who ordered what & pass them the check . Seriously, an hour!
I'll admit the place is cute and clean but I'd never return!
