Growing up in the area, Carrie Cerino's was the place to go for a celebration. Everything was always wonderful! When I heard that my HS reunion would be held there, I was over the moon to have Carrie's delicious food again.
And boy, was I ever disappointed. The meal started with salad and rolls, which were fine. There was no bar set up in our room, and only two servers trying to juggle drink orders and serving food, so most of us wound up just going downstairs to the lounge to get our drinks. The buffet was awful - overcooked roast beef in gelatinous gravy, sliced so thinly that you could barely get it on your fork (and you regretted doing so once it was in your mouth). Roast chicken and green beans almondine were OK. Potatoes au gratin were bright orange - I think they used the cheeze packet from a box of Kraft macaroni. The pasta with white sauce was OK, but not worth an upcharge. The pastries on the dessert tray were OK.
The servers were trying hard, but they were overwhelmed.
I no longer have any desire to ever go back.
