You know what's great about attending an event for your friend, finding a nice place you have never…read morebeen to before and being pleasantly surprised by how good of a time you had while there. That is the case with this space right here. From the outside it doesn't look like much, but once you enter the doors you are amazed by everything. For my review I can only attest to the downstairs portion of this place as that was where the event was held. The upstairs, from what I can tell from pictures from their website, looks cozy and welcoming. The downstairs is a big space that you can hold quite the event in it. It may not look big from the outside, but once you are inside you can tell that there is more than enough space for any even to be had. On other thing about the downstairs portion is that you have a small deck area to hang out on near the entrance which adds to the size of this place. Lighting can be controlled so if you want to have an intimate area all you need to do is dim the lights. Ample space for a DJ to set up, buffet table and dance floor, and still have room for many tables for your guests. The only thing that might need some work here is the people that work the front door. They weren't so welcoming and it felt like there was some judging going on when this was your first visit to the establishment. Some of the guests that attended the party I was at felt as if they weren't welcome as well when being told that this is a "social club" instead of asking if they knew where there were to be going. Some simple signage might help in the future as to what party is being held where.

The venue did not try to push sales of their products at all. We were there for the event and it was fantastic. It is BYOB as well. We will be signing up for future classes.

I was extremely disappointed with the Mother's Day brunch experience this year. My family and I had…read morevisited before and absolutely loved the atmosphere and food, which is why I encouraged my family to celebrate here for Mother's Day. Unfortunately, this visit was nothing like our previous experiences. This was not a cheap brunch, yet it lacked some of the most basic brunch offerings -- no omelet station, no waffles, pancakes, or the variety that was offered in the past. The food overall was very disappointing and nowhere near worth the price. What made it even worse was the dessert area. Once desserts ran out, they were never refilled, and several members of my family never even had the chance to try them. For the amount charged, this is unacceptable. I even asked the host about the omelet station they used to offer and was told it was removed because the lines would get too long. That is not a good excuse. Other brunch places like Grand Concourse still manage to offer omelet stations, waffle stations, eggs, meats, and much more at a similar or even lower price point. I left embarrassed and disappointed after recommending this place to my family for such a special occasion. Sadly, we will not be returning, and I would not recommend this brunch experience to others looking for a quality Mother's Day celebration.

From there, the restaurant was three sets of stairs up. The food was a big let down. The hot foods (soup and ravioli) were room temp. Flavor was just overall a little underwhelming. The service was top tier- super quick and brought out the assortment of teas and asked if we wanted another tea bag of the same type of tea to make it stronger. The place was empty (very unexpected for restaurant week) if you want a private dinner without renting the whole place out then come here on a Tuesday night.

We originally had another wedding venue booked, but when we visited the Mayernik we knew we had to make the switch. We chose a Friday afternoon because we able to save a little bit of money, but also book other locations on the property to make it a full day experience for our guests. The Mayernik has some suggested vendors, but the only requirement is from choosing from one of their 3 food vendors. We tried each over time and settled on Remo's...who created an amazing meal for us. It was high quality and reasonably priced. Our wedding ceremony was at 1230, followed by a brunch reception. For the ceremony we opted for the extra cost of chairs to be set out and I'm glad we did. It was a beautiful day and I would have been uncomfortable forcing everyone to stand during our ceremony. After the reception, we invited a few guests to an after party at The Cabin, one of the smaller locations on the property. Leading up to and throughout the day, Jennifer was attentive and made sure all our details came through without us worrying. She even helped organize and pack things up at the end of the night. I was never worried during the experience and knew she had it handled. If I had to do it again, I'd pick the Mayernik as our choice venue. What a great day to remember!

I recently had my wedding at The Mayernik Center at the Avonworth Community Park. The facility is…read morebeautiful. The wooden interior is very warm and welcoming. I originally worked with the event coordinator Shannon, who was wonderful: very accommodating, available and informative. She notified me that she was leaving her job as event coordinator approximately 2 weeks before my wedding! I was a panicked bride after hearing this...what a nightmare! Shannon made our transition to Suzi, another event coordinator at the Center, extremely smooth. Although Shannon was pleasant to work with, I am so happy to have had Suzi coordinate my event. She is extremely personable, accommodating and flexible. I really felt like she was there for me on my wedding day. She took care of everything, from the last minute decision to move the ceremony inside to fluffing my train before I walked down the isle. She helped us clean up at the end of the night and my family and friends all loved working with her. The Mayernik Center is difficult to reserve, so I would plan to book at least a year ahead, preferably more if you want a Saturday date. I had a Friday wedding and would recommend it if all the Saturdays are taken. We did not have a DJ, but used the Mayernik Center's sound system to play music. It worked perfectly. The only reason I am not giving the Center 5 stars is that they do not have chairs available for outside ceremony's, which makes outside ceremony's very difficult. If you are looking around for an event location in the North Hills check out the Mayernik!

We had the ceremony downstairs, went upstairs for cocktail hour in a small space with a bar and a fairly sizable balcony, and then went back downstairs for dinner so be mindful that there's a lot of stairs when picking out your shoes. The downstairs had a lot of natural light. I thought our mushroom soups were delicious with the puff pastry on top. The salads were decent as salads go with apples and pecans. I chose the salmon entree and the salmon itself was fine and could've been more flavorful but it at least had cooked cherry tomatoes on top to give it some flavor. The mashed potatoes were decent but the asparagus seemed to be just steamed and served bland without any seasoning. My bread was really hard and difficult to cut open and bite into. The staff we interacted with was nice.!

I attended a wedding here as a bridesmaid. The event coordinator, Jill, was unpleasant from the…read moreget-go. When our bride was hungry, we asked for food recommendation. She encouraged us not to get food from anywhere else and to "wait it out" for 2 - 3 hours until dinner. The kind bartender offered us crackers and oranges which is all she could do, but was very sympathetic. There were also 3 very SNIDE remarks from her to various people, one was to the photographer, about how the bride "didn't get a rehearsal dinner so (she) has no idea what's going on." Let me be clear, we are all very pleasant and easy going people who have ALL worked various service industry jobs. This set the tone for the rest of the night. Jill failed to do her job of making sure the bride was unseen by guests MULTIPLE times. She also told us, although it was discussed previously, that someone would be able to drive the bride to the entrance of the ceremony area. We were then told it would be impossible, as the car would be seen in photos? There was no argument back, but as we were taking photos, we realized the car would have never been in the photos in the first place. Jill is keeping this nasty attitude. The night goes on, at a steady pace, which did not seem fast enough for Jill. Everything felt rushed, and multiple times Jill was seen rolling her eyes and tapping her feet. Why do you have this job if you lack patience for someone's special day? The icing on the cake for me was the bartending experience. There was a tip jar for cash tips, and a Venmo scan code. The kicker of the Venmo scan code is that the code went to JILL! The wedding COORDINATOR! NOT the bartender! That was absolutely the last straw for me. The bartender was the only person who cared about the wedding and wedding party. Insane that Jill feels entitled to ANY of her tips. The bartender assured me they split them at the end of the night... but for what? The coordinator was NOT behind the bar, was NOT serving drinks. As a matter of fact, she was serving only one thing : major attitude and annoyance. 915 rolls around and Jill is cleaning up everything. The beautiful table my bride neatly put together, all thrown on a tray before the DJ is even done. If your drink as unattended while on the dance floor it was in the trash, and 915 is last call so there's no chance to get another. My bride had a beautiful day, but I would NEVER recommend this place to ANYONE. The ONLY shining star was the sweet bartender, who truly deserves better. Edited to add: my husband just told me about how the chairs during the ceremony were PAINTED! So when everyone stood up they had huge white chalk like marks all over their pants and dresses. This actually forced people to sit on rocks during the ceremony. Another edit: no charcuterie board to the men's suite, and the DATE WAS WRONG ON THEIR BACKDROP (see picture!!!) when brought to Jill's attention, she said "well I'll HAVE to make a whole nother one if you want it fixed" what??? I would be SICK TO MY STOMACH if I messed that up. WOW. The more we discuss the night the more we all have to add. I'm sure this will not be the last edit.
