Bar staff were friendly and service was excellent. Then the buffet which I'm Sure was amazing but we were the last table up there . Both salad bowls were empty, very little of anything else. Some sort of pasta dish with a few pieces in the bottom of the bowl . There was beef being carved by a chef. There was enough beef for our table . Three staff members were standing around one lady asked could they provide more food , one of them shrugged her shoulders and said " that's all there is " . Absolutely no effort was made to provide additional food . I know on the day at least 8 people did not attend so there should have been more food . I was extremely disappointed snd quite frankly it's just not good enough for the family to pay $135 per head and have your guests go without food . For this reason I would not recommend the Barker house .

I was a guest at a wedding here recently. The first red flag was before we even walked in the door…read moreas there were several doors you could walk into, none of them were labeled so of course we went into the wrong door... Once inside, the guests were shuffled through a few different rooms. It almost seemed like the staff didn't know what to do or where to put us. We were left standing around with heavy jackets on as it's winter time... Cocktail hour was missing some of the apps that were advertised on a sign. The dance floor was more like a dance "isle" as the tables took up most of the room. The bar closed around 9pm, maybe even earlier with no warning. Im giving 2 stars for the buffet-style dinner being good, but that's about it.

We have just returned from a Jack and Jill baby shower at the Neighborhood Club of Quincy. Having…read moreattended many showers over the years we were pretty sure about what to expect, a pleasant afternoon celebrating the coming of the new baby and parents. To our delight this event went above and beyond the usual shower celebration First, we noted the Neighborhood Club offers several spaces where a shower can be held. Our gracious event manager Christina, who had attended to every detail in the planning of the occasion, guided us to the "Living Room," a cozy and relaxed area with its own cocktail lounge and lovely décor. The Living Room, which was festively decorated by the hosting family is both comfortable and elegant. When seasonally appropriate event planners can request the stately fireplace to be lit. Guests immediately seemed to feel at home as they came into the room. The staff was very efficient in preparing the buffet brunch, including both breakfast and lunch choices, as well as accommodating guests' food needs. Our meals were delicious. We especially enjoyed the variety of choices including salads, vegetables, breakfast rolls, quiche, fresh haddock, and chicken piccata. More than a few of us returned to the buffet for seconds. As we gathered together the Neighborhood Club's welcoming setting and attentive staff made this a very memorable and happy time for family and friends to celebrate.

Ten minutes after we arrived multiple summer camps came into the arcade (approximately 200 kids). The kids were not well supervised. They were running around crazy. When we went to check out the valuse of the tickets it got even more confusing. There was about 60 kids gathered around the counter pushing, shoving and cutting in front of people.​ There were no adults trying to keep things organized. At the time there were 3 cashiers behind the counter. I asked to speak to a manager. I told her they should have one of the cashiers for customers who do not come with the camps. A day that started out fun for my grandkids ended up being very disappointing. They didn't get to redeem their tickets because of the kaois. I will never take them back to Ryan'

I have weddings on the brain having just been to a great one this past weekend. So it got me to remembering my own wedding which was held here. We took a walk around the property this weekend and were reminded of what a great spot this is. This is a beautiful venue with a pretty not to mention historic ballroom which leads to a lovely outdoor garden. The good news for us, which I know might not be for everyone, is that you are just renting the space and so you can hire whomever you would like to create the right kind of celebration for you. This means you hire your own caterer. There is a full kitchen on the premises for the caterers to use. With this kind of arrangement we could make sure the food was exactly what we wanted it to be, made by chefs we trusted. This also means you are not limited to the choices other venues hold you to. You're not subject to the pricing whims of venues that charge exorbitantly for their bar service. The caterer we chose provided bar service (mixer, sodas, etc.) and the bartenders but we supplied all the alcohol. Buying your own alcohol is a not only a money saver but allows you to personally select the kinds of wines and other liquors that you want to see served. My personal pet peeve is being invited to an event like a wedding and having to contend with a cash bar. Remember: you are inviting guests to your celebration. They shouldn't have to pay for anything unless it's a charity benefit. It's no different in my mind than having guests to your home. Enough on the lectures. This is a great place to host your wedding or any special party in which you want a unique and interesting venue. If you are interested in an historical setting and want to really have a more open canvas of options in which to personally design the details of your event, this might be the spot for you.

Then to be informed it's cart path only (CPO) after you've already paid in full and the starter tells you, is in extremely poor taste. Especially when the course and fairways were fully dried out with zero moisture present. Whoever made that call is a novice. That makes the round almost unbearable and be prepared to walk 6-7 miles if your drive off the tee doesn't land within a couple of feet of the cart path. But the running joke with our 4 some was the fact they insist on CPO, while greens had more debris and flotsam than New Orleans had after hurricane Katrina. Did anyone think of blowing off the greens with a leaf blower or something more industrial? I call BS. All that said, I won't be back there again in this lifetime. Good luck to them.
