From our first meeting with Anthony, we knew they would be a great fit for us. You can really tell how passionate he is about cooking and the service his team provides. Anthony was enthusiastic to work with us and to make a fun menu that we could be excited about (ex: Reuben empanadas, spicy tuna wontons, rice balls & watermelon feta skewers). Our food was amazing, we got so many compliments from our guests! I typically don't enjoy food at weddings but loved everything we had. Working with his team was such an easy process, I could not recommend them enough.

Funny how the 5 star rating on google comes from the manager who runs the cafe at my job. The other…read more5 star rating on Facebook comes from someone that use to work there. The other high rating doesn't even have a valid name (probably another employee). Prices are ridiculous. Food is maybe a something you would eat at a bad hospital. When the Board of Health came to our company they shut down the grill and refused to cook food. Because they knew they would fail the inspection because food is stored improperly at the grill. And the Health Inspector informed that they are not supposed to shut down the grill or any other stations while they are there. By 12 pm they run out of a lot of food. I will say a select few of the workers are nice. The others make it seem like you are bothering them if you ask a question or want something cooked at the grill. Some of them barely know how to make an egg sandwich. In the afternoon you can go to buy something and the cashiers are no where to be found. And this is just not from one of my visits but from many. When they first came to my company I thought it was going to be a good change, boy did I think wrong! They only reason why people still buy food there is because we have no choice, they are the only ones there (unless you bring lunch). We hired them for a company party and had many issues with them. We ran out of food. Then things that were agreed to when I booked the party I had to argue with them just to get, I wanted them to hold up to their agreement. Which they did, however we ran out of that food also. Being there first year at my company it was a surprise how mismanaged it was.

Being devotees of the Capital Grille, we decided to use Stamford's annual restaurant week to try…read moreout Blackstone's, a bit apprehensive given its mixed reviews. I have to say our experience didn't disappoint in the grand scheme. Our last visit to the Capital Grille was only a week before, and it was a somewhat noisy affair. For Blackstone's, we elected to eat outside so it's difficult to compare this restaurant and Capital Grille too closely. I'll do my best. The wait staff was very good, though not quite up to the outstanding level of the well trained waiters at Capital Grille. We had to wait longer than we'd like at certain times during the meal, but it wasn't disastrous. Overall, I'd give Blackstone's wait staff a 4 compared to CG's 5. The bread was warm and fresh out of the oven, but sadly tasteless. The unsalted butter didn't help. Our meal started out at a low point. Our salad's quickly dispelled that disappointment. They were large, healthy salads, well dressed and exceedingly fresh. We actually think they were better than what we've had at CG, but not by much. Our steaks were a healthy size as well. We enjoyed our 10 oz. filets compared to the 8 oz. portions we get at CG. I had steak au poivre, and, while the steak was of an excellent caliber, the au au poivre side of it was a little bland for me. It didn't help that the Blackstone's steak wasn't encrusted in peppercorn the way CG does it. All in all, the meat was very good, just not quite as tasty as what we're accustomed to. Dessert at Blackcstone's was outstanding and felt a little more generous. Surprisingly, it seemed to us overall that Blackstone's prices were higher than those of Capital Grille, despite the fact that Blackstone's in total rated a 4 next to CG's 5. Perhaps, we'll try it again one day, but for now, CG remains our go-to steakhouse.

First and foremost, there was clearly not enough food for 50 people. When I asked if there was anymore, I was quoted the number of ounces in each serving and told that perhaps my guests should learn portion control 2. Kitty (Custom Café) arrived late - with her two children in tow. Setup was late - so food did not have enough time to warm up - cold vodka sauce on cold penne is not very appetizing. 3. The coffee station consisted of a Mr. Coffee machine behind the bar... no urn, no milk, no sugar. Just the machine and the bartender. When I spoke with her after the event, I think it was the lack of professionalism and her attitude that surprised me the most.....no acknowledgement on her part of how anything could have been done differently. In fact, she said that I was extremely rude to her and she had devoted more time that I deserved to addressing my concerns. Stay far away from this caterer.... and I use that term loosely!

I attended an event here. An event consequential to my good friend--who was the host...working two…read morejobs and putting aside money every week for 12 years. In my opinion, this place blew it. They really blew it. I would never trust them to host an event for me. Not a communion--nada...nunca. In short, Apawamis rhymes with can't-stand-us-- that's all you need to know. That's how I felt. In my opinion: They. Just. Didn't. Care. They screwed up every aspect of this occasion. Let's start with the facility and logistics. The attendee tables were much too close together. The food stations were too near the tables. Also, the stations were not professionally set up and assembled in a haphazard and happenstance sloppy way. No decorations or signage so you had to guess what you were gulleting [sic].Honestly, I've done better with home kid's birthday party spreads. I felt bad for my friend. The roof sprung a leak and it was actually raining on the party and it's guests!!! I had to go track someone down since my buddy who threw the party was busy looking for someone to turnover the tables and remove the salad plates and fill water glasses. Poor guy couldn't enjoy the event. The facility party supervisor was no where to be found for most of the party. My friend told me their name and I went on a hunt to tell her the tables needed to be turned over and the serving stations attended to...and I was told they were busy attending to another party in the facility. Literally, my friends party-- to me-- was like a driverless car careening out of control. The timing of happy hour, salads, table bread, dinner and dessert was--in my opinion, at best--haphazard and seemingly left to rank and file staff that were way too few in number. It was a pernicious kerfuffle. Those that were there worked super hard and with tons of heart functioning sans a leader most of the night. They were heros. The facility and the manager of the event were not heros--from my vantage point, they were the opposite. The food I tried was average to poor. The beef and brócoli was rubbery/tough and soggy respectively...and disappointingly bland. Yucky. The steak station had creamed spinach and hash browns that--in my case--were milky/cold and greasy/cool respectively. The steak--at least what I tried--supermarket quality, dry, tough and tasteless. Why would they serve me shoe-leather tough well done meat? My friend (the host) tried some off my plate and clandestinely expectorated it into a napkin. My friend was so upset but said to me that he had nobody to complain to since the facility host was nowhere to be found and that, given it was mid party--there was nothing they could do anyhow. The Italian station--in my case--had pasta that was undercooked and the chicken parm was not right. The chicken--at least in my case--was not pounded, too thick, and the breading poorly adherent to it. There was too little sauce that was under spiced. It was beyond rescue--no matter how much parmigiana cheese, salt and pepper that I haplessly and generously applied. It was a sophomoric mishmash. The tiered dessert assortment plates were almost ok. Some pieces were cold and all tasted like they came from a Costco variety pack. Nothing special. In my opinion, this was bad, really bad experience for the guests that numbered well over a hundred. I have my suspicions as to why this country club handled this specific sort of event the way they did, but I'll keep it to myself. Suffice it to say--if you don't want to handle these sorts of events in a professional manner--then don't accept the job. Shame on you Apawamis (you-can't-stand-us).
