Before driving to the venue, I called to ask if the event would be held inside or outside, as the weather forecast predicted rain and I wanted to dress accordingly. After my friends didn't pick up, I called the main line. The man who answered was incredibly rude and made no effort to help me. He clearly doesn't understand the basics of customer service. Because of that interaction alone, I am leaving a one-star review. Customer service is vital, and this place failed completely.

For the venue I attended the food was great and the table settings were elegant. Overall, a terrific place to book your event provided they do something about the mosquitoes.

During one of the most difficult times in our lives, we were faced with the challenge of finding a…read morereception venue--on very short notice--for a celebration of life honoring our beloved mother. Many venues were either fully booked or simply too small to accommodate our needs. Thankfully, we found Queens Banquet Hall. From the very first phone call, we were met with kindness and professionalism. Estela, who answered the phone, was incredibly warm and understanding. After hearing our situation, she didn't hesitate to provide all the information we needed and scheduled a time for us to view the venue the very next day. Once we saw the space, we knew it was the right place. Despite having only one week to plan, Estela went above and beyond to make sure everything was ready and perfect for the day of the event. She showed empathy and care throughout the entire process, always making sure our family felt supported and that the celebration ran smoothly. Queens Banquet Hall provided not only a beautiful setting but also a sense of peace and comfort when we needed it most. A heartfelt thank you to Estela and the team for helping us honor our mother in such a meaningful and memorable way. We are truly grateful Durante uno de los momentos más difíciles de nuestras vidas, nos enfrentamos al reto de encontrar un lugar para una recepción, con muy poco tiempo, para celebrar la vida de nuestra querida madre. Muchos salones estaban completamente reservados o eran demasiado pequeños para nuestras necesidades. Afortunadamente, encontramos Queens Banquet Hall. Desde la primera llamada telefónica, fuimos recibidos con amabilidad y profesionalismo. Estela, quien nos atendió, fue increíblemente cálida y comprensiva. Al escuchar nuestra situación, no dudó en brindarnos toda la información necesaria y nos programó una cita para ver el lugar al día siguiente. Al ver el salón, supimos que era el lugar indicado. A pesar de tener solo una semana para organizar todo, Estela hizo todo lo posible para asegurarse de que todo estuviera listo y perfecto para el día del evento. Mostró empatía y dedicación durante todo el proceso, siempre asegurándose de que nuestra familia se sintiera apoyada y que la celebración transcurriera sin problemas. Queens Banquet Hall no solo nos ofreció un espacio hermoso, sino también un ambiente de paz y consuelo en un momento de gran tristeza. Nuestro más sincero agradecimiento a Estela y a todo el equipo por ayudarnos a honrar la memoria de nuestra madre de una manera tan significativa y especial. Estamos profundamente agradecidos.

We recently attended a birthday dinner party here at Great Event Studios in Tarzana and it is…read moreactually the same owner as Athena Studios in Nothridge where my daughte celebrated her 18th bday. This Tarzana location was actually really nice too - it's located along Ventura Blvd (closest cross street is Wilbur Ave.) right after McDonalds and next to Dominos Pizza and right across Lady C's Cafe. The closest fwy for those travelling from another city is Tampa ave. exit. The venue is really pretty, very well maintain, very clean and very aesthetic design and has its own restroom inside. The size of the venue is perfect for intimate parties with a group of 50-60. There was space for buffet table, bar for the drinks, Sushi bar, Photo Booth and DJ booth and a decent dance floor size was setup and it didn't feel like crowded at all. The balloons, table setting, decors etc was also done by great event (separate fee applies on top of the venue rental). I highly recommend this event place if you are planning on your next initimate party! You will love the place, and if you decide to also hire them for organizing and decorating the venue you will surely love it. The owners are very proffesional and really nice. There's also a lot of parking spaces as well as on the side street - from my own personal experience, we didn't have a hard time finding a parking spot and the part was on a Saturday night.

You can miss the place because you have to go through a narrow alleyway to get to the parking so just be aware of where the place is because I missed it and had to do a uturn. They had the dining setup outside which was very nice and then the banquet hall was the dance floor. The inside of the banquet hall is spacious and you can do a lot of different layout there. The guest list was around 200 people and the place was able to accommodate. They had security guard and the workers here was very nice. I would recommend using the bathroom in the banquet hall because the bathroom near the outside patio area is small. They had a in n out truck to end the night and that's my favorite so it was a win win.

Sometimes it is even free! The only problem is most are simply unaware of what activities are scheduled. The only folks who are aware are the "regulars" who stop by the post on a regular basis. Many times the monthly calendar is posted late (many don't even know where to go to access the calendar). If there is a special event not listed on the calendar members and non members never get directly notified. The post has a massive email mailing list of folks so why not just send out a copy of the monthly calendar, along with event updates to everyone? One click does it all. The turnout would be a lot better, and the bar would get additional revenue from those who drink too. If they did that they would get five stars!!!!

We decided to come back with friends but on a Wednesday night at 6:30 instead. Sat at a table in the area where the music was but it was very loud and tightly packed with tables and guests. I could barely hear my friends due to the loud conversations, loud laughter, and just the acoustic affects in the restaurant were bad from that. We ordered steak, sides, and thought baked potatoes but got mashed instead. After we ate dinner we asked the manager if we could seat outside for dessert instead due to the loud noises around us. He brought us there but we had to wait at the bar outside till we were seated took an additional 15-20 minutes. After seated it was better than inside with a nice decor too instead. Dessert was ok service good. For such a high-ended restaurant and pricy food it's only avarage, inside decor pretty but very and tightly packed with guests and loud especially for a week day night kind of unusual, I was disappointed think it's a bit overrated sorry to say. I think Flemings, Ruth Chris, or Morton's are better food wise for the same price and dining experience and not as loud too. Think what could make it better is to thin out the crowded packed affect in the main inside dining area would help a lot too, or, if we ever go back sit outside instead I recommend. The service and staff there were very nice, friendly, and attentive and worked hard during service though. So overall raiting is a 3. Tuesday music night inside was good though think because the band is set up where tables of guests would be so less talking and guests listening to the music instead. Hope they make some changes to there inside seating there for improvements will and could help overall.

PARKING valet is available, but we found street parking on ventura blvd. FOOD 01. squash blossoms ($21 for 5 pc): 8.3/10 these were crispy and light, delightful to eat on their own without the tomato marinara sauce served on the side. casalena's squash blossoms had a strong, lovely hint of lemon that wasn't present in mother wolf's rendition. 02. chicken piccata ($29): 7.5/10 this main was served with a generous helping of potatoes mashed into a delicious velvet. 03. vodka lumaconi ($25): 9/10 this dish was the standout of the evening! the pasta shells were cooked al dente and coated in a slightly spicy, perfectly savory vodka sauce! casalena does not skimp on the sauce in any of their dishes! 04. tagliatelle ($29): 7/10 this pasta dish was not nearly as impressive. 05. tiramisu ($15): 7/10 since we mentioned the dinner was for a special occasion in our reservation, this dessert was served with a candle. while its presentation was lovely, its taste was underwhelming. the espresso was extremely subtle, and there was more madeline than mascarpone/cream. overall, our party of 4 was fully satiated after splitting 1 appetizer, 3 mains, and 1 dessert. service was lovely throughout! and as another yelpie mentioned in their review, their matchbook is very nice.
