No reviews for this great venue yet?…read more A great place of moderate size, this place holds many local events including art shows, political forums, music and choral shows and plays from local theater companies so there is often cool public events going on here. It can also be rented, very affordably for weddings and parties. It's in an easy to find location right off of Exit 3 on 93 and has plenty of parking. You could fit 200 people between the two rooms quite easily, one drawback is the small kitchen and bathrooms downstairs, but you should certainly look at this awesome and historical building for your next event in the area. It will be hard to be disappointed.

The event coordinator Briana was such a joy to work with and a trusted partner in making our event come to life! We really appreciated her coordinating with my family in the days leading up to the event to organize the decor, and being so on top of everything. When we first toured the venue in the fall we immediately loved the barn, but what really sealed the deal for us was Briana's calm, collected demeanor, professional communication, and down-to-earth advice that demonstrated her deep understanding of what works in the space and what doesn't--that made us trust her right away. She made the space look so so beautiful! We couldn't have asked for a better evening surrounded by all our favorite people

Once you get past those gates you really get to take the whole castle in and it's beautiful. This place was such a great backdrop for pictures that the wedding didn't really need much decorating. I also loved that the wedding guests were allowed to roam the castle and take pictures inside. This place really gave that elegant and vintage look that the bride was looking for. The person in charge of the castle was so friendly and kept walking around making sure everyone was comfortable and all their needs were being met. This place is a gem hidden among the trees and is truly a beautiful location for a wedding.

Searles Castle-- WOW. This whole experience was just incredible, and the castle gave us everything…read morewe needed. Shaun made planning so easy! Not only that, but the entire staff was amazing from start to finish. They were all super accommodating and moved with a purpose, they all worked so seamlessly together. I had an accident with my foot right in the middle of cocktail hour, where I was sure I was going to have to go to the hospital, and the party would have to go on without the bride and groom. The entire staff acted immediately with first aid, getting medical attention, and even set up a hidden stool with ice under my table to elevate my foot. They all made sure I was taken care of and went above and beyond our expectations. I can't say enough about the staff and how incredible my experience was with them all. They have an onsite catering company, and the food was so delicious! On top of all that, A BEAUTIFUL venue for a romantic, memorable, fairy tale wedding. The scenery is picture perfect, and our photos turned out phenomenally! A beautiful venue inside and outside, every inch of the castle is breathtaking. My husband and I feel so lucky to have gotten married here. If you are looking for a perfect venue for a wedding your guests will NEVER forget, book your wedding at Searles Castle!

The property, over looks a beautiful lake, which was perfect for the outdoor ceremony, except for the occasional local wahoo boating by. However, for the most part they were very respectful.

When I saw no knife except a butter knife on the table when the filet minion came, I was a little worried, but it was so tender it essentially cut like butter. A big shout out to the wait staff and the bartenders, they were best. Overall a fantastic place experience at a wonderful place.

My husband and I recently went for Waterfront Dining on Cobbetts, and had the most wonderful…read moreoverall experience. The food was average. It could have used more seasoning, and the medium steak was well done, but everything was fresh, so we appreciated that. The views and grounds were incredible, but what I wanted to focus on was the Service. It more than made up for the food! We have traveled all over and eat out quite a bit (too often), and this place has the best staff we have had the pleasure of dining with. We were greeted by Diane, and Patti was our server. Both were attentive, friendly, and helpful. Diane, the hostess, greeted us with the biggest smile and was so welcoming. She walked us to our seats and even offered to move our table so we could have the best view. We closed the place down, and we decided last minute to get a gift card for friends we knew would love the experience. She restarted the POS system to do this for us, even though it was late, she could have asked us to come back another day. Patti was so helpful with food and drink selections. She checked on us often but was not intrusive. Even the younger staff moving tables at the end of the night smiled a lot and made conversation with us. There was an acoustic guitarist playing in the background at just the perfect volume. It enhanced the experience. Some places we've been the music has been obnoxiously loud. Clearly their focus is on top-notch service and they seem to enjoy working together. We were so impressed and look forward to going back.

Service was impeccable- bartender was very nice and knew how to make a good drink I enjoyed coming here so much that when I got home I looked into becoming a member of the club myself !!

Total fail: A recent meal here was the worst this 80yr old has ever experienced…read more Although tables were set beautifully, the food was not prepared in a timely fashion. When it WAS available, it was cool, and chicken parmesan was undercooked to the extent that I worried that three mouthfuls I did eat would make me sick later on. Although I didn't notice, a member of our group said that there was no warming sterno under the serving trays when he collected his meal. Potatoes were OVERcooked, as was the zucchini, which was also too garlicky. There was only a single serving station while the number of guests probably merited two, which may have been the reason those nearer the end of the line had cold entrees. Please be forewarned about using this venue for a large event.

Have been here twice. First time was great - good music, great bartender and decently priced…read morebeverages! However....went a second time and there was a different bartender (bigger woman with straw-like hair and glasses) who made this experience extremely uncomfortable, unenjoyable and overall hostile for my friends and I (on my birthday!). The minute we walked in she was rude.. "hi how are you?" "Got an I.d.?!?!??! Get all of your i.d.'s out!" Now I had just obtained my federal/new i.d. .. the dmv also let me hold on to my old hard copy while waiting for my new copy to come in. Anyways, I give her both because it was clear she would give me a hard time if I didnt. Her response? "What is this?! Why are you giving me two?! I dont know what this is?!"...uh, you dont know what a paper i.d. is?.....I didnt say this but that's what I had going through my head. After she carefully looked it over for five minutes I ordered a margarita. She said she "made it herself" ..the mix? I had no idea what she meant by that. Anyways...it was all mix. I paid a whopping five dollars for sugar in a cup. I'm tiny and let me tell you I had no buzz from this drink.. I truly believe it was all mix. Fast forward to an hour later. It's my birthday..my cousin orders a round of shots for the three of us. We were drinking mcgilicuddys (only 40% alcohol or something similar.. you know. The weak shit) another hour goes by and I go up to order us another round..when I tell you I felt like I was in an interrogation room with an officer I'm not joking. It was 21 questions. The first thing out of her mouth is "your cut off" mind you she said this extremely loud in front of everyone... I looked at her confused and said "what?" So then she asks me a series of questions: who are all these shots for? How many have you had total? You live pretty far. Dont you? I couldnt wrap my head around this. You cut people off when they have had too much or cause an altercation or theres some sort of instance where they are slurring their words..stumbling all over the place..right? I was none of the above. I then answered all her questions and kindly ending the conversation by saying, "it's my birthday and I am ubering home." In the back of my mind I'm thinking okay...half the place is tanked, have you shut anyone else off? I definitely felt targeted and stereotyped in this situation. I'm a young and attractive women. I felt from the moment I walked in, this woman had some sort of vendetta against me. So she gives me the 3 shots. After this I'm finally feeling nice and having fun playing pool with my family and friend. We go up for one last drink...its 12:15 and theres someone in front of us. Of course she talked to them forever and took her sweet time. Fast forward to 12:31 ...she screams at us "CANT SERVE YOU!" confused because the people in front of us just walked away with their drink, we ask what time is closing time? Her response....12:30. At this point I'm like okay she did that on purpose..we have been standing here for 15 minutes!! This is a joke, right?! So I told her this and she says "you have a long ride home I should have cut you all off hours ago!!" And then a blonde woman next to her (also a bartender there) jumps in very hostile and says "if she cut you off she has her reasons!" We left.... my cousin lives across the street, you could literally throw a rock at his house. Conclusion: I will never step foot in this place again because of that bartender. Did I add that she was trashed with a drink in her hand all night? I'm really not one to post reviews but I have never felt so embarrassed or disrespected like that in my life. Terrible service. And I understand that some people should be cut off but I was not over the limit, incoherent or rude in any way to this women. I felt it was a female, jealousy-type issue. My mother has said this to me before, when your young and pretty people will mess with you for no reason (people being ugly, and possibly older, women). I have never really experience that until last night. I finaly get what she was saying and this made me think of just that!!! So. If you see the overweight, older woman with brown, straw hair.....you might be in for a treat.i wish I had got her name.

Some people rented the place out for a party. When we walked in to set up, the tables were filthy…read moreand covered in dirt. One of the windows was broken in the room so it being the beginning of January you can imagine it was a quite cold in there. They let us use the kitchen but it was really dirty. The microwave was gross, I didn't even want to touch it! The plastic part that helps the glass inside move was also broken, so it didn't spin. The room itself was decent when you first look at it, but the more attention you pay to it you can tell they don't do much maintenance at all as there were cobwebs everywhere. There was also hole in the wall that was supposed to house some kind of electrical socket but was just open. Asked for a pitcher of water and by the time we finished it we saw that there was a gross clear glue type substance on the inside of the pitcher and when we told the person that gave us the pitcher, she just laughed and tried to wipe it off. Which she couldn't. All in all, gross place. If you must use them, prepare to pre-clean the place. You know, their job.

We waited almost two hours for our food to arrive. During that time, no one checked in, no explanation, and no apology. The service was slow, inattentive, and disorganized. It's really disappointing because the restaurant has so much potential with such a nice setting, but the experience was frustrating from start to finish. Sadly, I won't be coming back.
