I think there was a view of the lake from the ceremony area, but since it was dark at the time of the ceremony, we couldn't see much of it. We really liked the passed around bites that the waiters were bringing around as well as the different food stations. The set up of the cocktail hour had very spread out seating, but most of the folks had to stand since there were not enough tables or standing tables to be comfortable. The food at the reception was okay but nothing to be blown away with. The cocktail hour had better items. The salad and pasta duo was okay but the pasta was more al dente than I like the texture to be. The layout of the reception hall was slightly odd since the couple's table was at the entrance of the reception room facing the DJ booth. The room itself was pretty spacious and it opened up to a patio area where they had desserts and a fire pit to roast marshmallows towards the end of the festivities. The bathrooms were clean and they had some products and toiletries to help freshen up before you return to the reception hall.

Spaceous, great place to have family functions and social gatherings. The ambiance is very cool.read more

DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS VENUE!!! HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!! This has got to be the worst experience I have…read moreever had with any rental space. If I could give them 0 stars I would. I rented this space for the repast for my mother's funeral. The funeral home gave me the recommendation. Since I had a very short window in which to plan the funeral, I decided to go with the recommendation. I went to the venue and there was no one there. I called the number and a gentleman answered, he told me to hold on and someone would be with me shortly. We had no further conversation before he put me on hold. I was on the phone for quite some time and then decided to hang up since I saw two women approach and I thought one of them may have been the owner. It turns out they were also looking for a venue. A few minutes later a woman called me back asking if I was still interested in renting the space. I said yes. Her name was Aida. She told me to wait, she would be at the venue shortly. She arrived after a few minutes, took us inside and showed us the place. It was a nice space. She informed me that inside could hold 200 people and if that was not enough, the outside could accommodate an additional 40 people. I thought it sounded great and went to their office to finalize things. Once in the office, I was told that it would cost $3500 for the rental. I agreed and offered to pay with my debit card. Aida told me that it was better for me to pay with cash. I said I did not have enough cash on me but would go to the bank to get the rest. I gave her $300 as a deposit before I left for the bank so that she could see that I was serious about renting the hall. While I am at the bank getting cash, I get a call from Aida asking me if her boss spoke with me previously (during the 30 seconds when he answered my initial call to tell me to hold on), I said no. She said well the price is $5,500. I was floored, I said I was just in your office and you told me $3,500! I told her I was not paying anymore. She tried to haggle with me and I said no. I should have gone with my gut and gone back to get my $300 and cancel the arrangement right there. Anyway, she said ok and we went back to pay the balance. She asked me how many table and I said 20. On the contract it was divided by 10 round and 10 rectangle and 2 tables for the food. This was on the Monday before my mother's funeral. Let's fast forward to the day before my mother's funeral, Friday May 9th at 8:30pm. I get a call from Ida saying that they do not have enough chairs and could I downsize the amount of people I was having. I could not believe what I was hearing. In addition to the grief I was dealing with because of the passing of my mother, and the other stress from planning a funeral, here comes this woman, with no regard to what she is asking me. How do you downsize for a funeral repast ? Should I have started calling people that night to tell them not to come? I'm just at a loss of how any business owner can see that it's ok to do that. I told her to call Henry so we could speak with him. She called me back to tell me Henry would speak with me in the morning, the morning of my mother's funeral. I said absolutely not, he has to speak with me tonight and that my mother's funeral started at 9 am the next morning and I would not be speaking with anyone at that time. After some back and forth, Henry finally called and I spoke with him. I told him that it was extremely unprofessional for them to call me at the last minute to tell me that they did not have enough chairs to accommodate the 200 guests that I would be having. He assured me that all of the chairs were there and he would make it work. Needless to say, when the woman I hired to decorate the tables came to set up the morning of the funeral, she informed me that there were only 12 tables set up. She took a video of it for me. At that point I asked a cousin of mine to make some calls and tell some of the people coming to the repast to not come since we were unable to accommodate them. How utterly embarrassing for me and my family. I went to the office to deal with the matter the Monday after the funeral. I told them that I should receive some kind of compensation or reimbursement for them not being able to fulfil their end of the contract. Henry initially denied that there were not enough tables and chairs and then told me that he would need to look at the camera footage to see what the story was. I tried to reach out to him and Aida several times and there has been no response. The next step is court. So if you value your money, PLEASE DO NOT RENT FROM THEM. They lack any semblance of integrity. You as a customer deserves better. And imagine, this is a man who is running for Queens Borough President. If you don't have integrity or ethics in your business practices, how would you expect him to have it as Borough President?! Integrity is ingrained in the fiber of our core, you Henry Ike have shown you have none of that.

We ordered our drinks which if I'm being honest were just ok and ran us about $105 (we sat at the bar) the folks next to us were eating jerk wings - they said they were so good they ordered another platter - so I def will be back to try the food on one of their live music nights. It was a about 8:30 on Friday and in addition to our group I think there were maybe 8 other folks at the bar - so it was pretty slow Honestly JodiAnn is what made this 3 star rating change to 4 - she was amazing - great customer service

When we pulled up and parked right out front, I waited in the car for about 10mins while my husband stood outside of my door and smoked. My husband noticed during that time that several people had walked in and then walked right back out. I was looking forward to listening to some R&B music, so we finally headed inside but was stopped at the door by the bouncer who said there was a cover charge of $20 for men and $10 for women. I said, "For a neighborhood bar? It's not even 12 yet..." To be honest, it felt a bit sketchy because it seemed like the bouncer was uncomfortable even telling us that there was a cover charge - and a pretty high one (for LI) at that. Now we understood why so many people walked in and then left seconds later. It's too bad though because it sounded like the music would've been just what we wanted, and this was our first night out without our kids in forever so we were prepared to stay out late and drink all night. I just don't like feeling like I'm being taken advantage of. We simply walked down the block to Dunn's River and paid a $5 cover (which is more realistic for this area) - and the music and vibe were totally worth it. I guess The New Vibe didn't want our business....or the 6 others that went in and walked right back out before us.

On a few occasions I have attended a few gatherings in the banquet hall and each time has been a smashing success. Typically, functions are run internally and externally by an Ad Hoc committee comprised by whom ever is renting the hall, or, in this case, the American Legions staff. Ten dollars gets you in the door which guarantees each patron all the soda, beer, coffee and tea y'all can drink. Plus hotdogs, baked beans, potato & macaroni salads to eat. November 19th's event was the annual Turkey Shoot which was mainly composed of raffles with tremendous prizes donated my many local merchants. One dollar buys you a ticket, and the rounds continue until all prizes are won, totalling close to twenty rounds. All proceeds are donated to the veterans, which is one of the finest causes for our disposable income to go.
