Beyond disappointed with my experience with Avion. Last year my wife and I planned to have a baby…read moreshower for my sister, the day was set for May of 2020. Prior to this we had several events at this hall, and the one next door, including a wedding shower. I can say with full confidence that we will NEVER BE RETURNING. As the pandemic raged we called to see what our options were about the baby shower. We knew that we signed a contract that said we would not get our deposit back due to events outside the halls control. That being said Ohio was in a full shut down and gatherings were not permitted. We were told by management that our event was not part of the shut down because it was a "religious ceremony", and we would not be able to collect our deposit. We questioned them about how this was a religious ceremony, but they would not provide us with an answer. We asked if we had any other options because we did not feel safe having the baby shower, and knew the baby would be born before it was safe to gather again. We were told by an employee that we could either reschedule an event within the year, or we could get our deposits worth in banquet food to go. We were unsure of what to do since the pandemic still had everything closed, and we knew we had a year to figure it out. Fast forward to this May, 2021, we finally felt comfortable to have a few people at our house. We called Avion to use our deposit to get food, but they refused. They told us that we were lying and that buying food was never an option. It is a shame that a local business would take advantage of people during a global pandemic, and make promises that they would later lie about. I would recommend anyone to look elsewhere before scheduling an event with such an untrustworthy organization.

My husband gradated with his PhD, I wanted to have a graduation party for him and Cathy was able to plan a memorable BBQ, The next two occasions that we had catered where First Communion Parties for our children. Cathy took the time to involve the children in the planning of the event and even accommodating their request. Such as no cake for one party and chicken fingers for another party. I have even called Cathy for last minute catering needs and have always been pleased with the end result. Most recently Cathy catered a dinner prior to homecoming in our home for a group of 10 high school teenagers. The evening was wonderful and everyone was excited to have such a wonderful meal. Finally, I enjoy having Cathy and her staff in my home, since they are all very cordial and always willing to accommodate in anyway possible. I forgot to mention how we always enjoy the food and our guest just rave about the food and service.

The other review that was left on this establishment sounds like it was written by a marketing or…read morepublic relations person for this club. I am not a member of this club, but I was asked to come to dinner with two members of this club. I don't know what the membership includes, but I would certainly never pay a membership fee to eat here. Service was lousy, and they weren't very busy. It took us about 20 minutes to get menus and another 20 minutes for our orders to be taken after we had made our selection. As a former waitress when I was in college, I know that when your table is looking around and no longer looking at menus, they are ready to order, and a good waitress will notice that and take your order when you are obviously ready to order. No one seem to care here. The entrées we wanted we're not available because they were allegedly sold out, but it was very early in the day so I find that hard to believe. Poor restaurant managing perhaps? When the food arrived, nothing was very good. We all had three different meals but none of us would ever order these meals again here. But then again, I would never eat here again even if a member asked me to come with them. I had heard this place had very good food, but that was not the case when I was here. Not sure if there are new cooks or what the case is, but I would not recommend this place.

We sat out back in the gazebo and enjoyed the sound of falling water during our meal. It was a great experience and very conducive to easy conversation. If you are in the area I recommend checking them out.
