Rude-Obnoxious

by qaswedfr at Citysearch

When we first arrived and went into the courtyard, we were very impressed with the setup. The yard was beautifully decorated with flowers and fountains and the grass was a perfect green.

However, unfortunately that is where it stopped. When we got inside, we went to the Hors d?Oeuvres table where they had a veggie platter and small pastry Hors d?Oeuvres. The pastries tasted like baked dough and had no flavor whatsoever. The room it was held in looked like it had not been redecorated since 1960.

We quickly ran out of Hor d?Oeuvres, the staff was slow to replenish them, and when they came out, they were barely warm. As we went to bar to get drinks, we stood in a line for a few minutes, which was not that bad because it was everybody?s first drink. The worst part was the glasses they served them in. The glasses had to be about 8 ounces (without ice) so we just got our drinks and got to the back of the line.

The wedding went well and the D.J. was fun but when we went to dance, we would find our drinks gone when we got back to our table. Our dinner was OK. The prime rib was good but it was a little small and the desert was a scoop of ice cream, big deal!

When the wedding was over it was as if a bell went off. The owner was walking around practically shoving everyone out the door. My mom who was in a wheelchair told me when I was in the bathroom the owner made a comment to her, come on what are you doing, waiting for the next wedding? That really ticked me off as could expect.

My friend and his bride told me they paid about $12,000 for about 130 people or so, what a disappointment.

Do not consider this place! Obnoxious- you don?t get you moneys worth!

• Pros: Nice garden for wedding
• Cons: Tiny drinks, small portions, management rude
