We were given to menus, and we decided to do the four course menu, and wow, what an amazing price it was, I think, $40.00.

By the time we got to our entress, we both said well what were we thinking. Everything was very delicious. I would highly recommend coming here to make sure you don't eat anything before coming here . Everything was very delicious. The service was amazing, and the owner is great. It is also very gorgeous inside the restaurant.

I am not lying when I said we had a 2.5 hour NON STOP dance set! My family and friends were raving about how great the music was and how he was in sync with the vibes the whole night. He has a form you fill out where you can detail exactly what music you'd like to hear and all the dances and entrance songs! One thing I didn't realize was his form was missing fields for the processional and recessional songs for the ceremony but a simple email fixed that. He queued up all the songs perfectly and didn't miss a beat. He also did our string lights which came out wonderfully. Definitely would hire him in a heart beat. I couldn't have imagined a more perfect DJ for my wedding, Thank you Mike!

Recently, I attended a party at Ariana South and I will tell you that the food is ok. The chicken,…read morethe eggplant everything that comes out of the kitchen was ok. Unfortunately, the party I attended there, the bar staff was incompetent and the set up for the bar was not proper or clean. The bartender didn't know how to make drinks. I don't even think he was a bartender. They had big containers full of soda and beer and they were like scooping it out with a ladle into the cups. That was very trashy. The beer was disgusting. It left a dirty ring around my glass and the mixed drinks were awful too. It's a shame because of the people that threw the party (who were friends of mine) had to pay good money for open bar and it was terrible. I would never recommend anyone rent this place for a party. Once you meet the owner you'll know he's a con man and he doesn't care about your party. He only cares about the money coming out of your pocket. This place is a failure.

Well for me that wonderful memory came alive when I attend a dinner at a friend's house in Brooklyn. They served a nice meal but the desserts! The cookies, the biscuits, the apple pie cookies! I was afraid to test my blood glucose level the next morning. When I asked my friend where the desserts came from they showed me the business card of Aunt Viv's Kitchen. All of the items served were delicious and simply sinful. I highly recommend this wonderful homemade cooking business. Your taste buds will thank you. Chris F Bayside, NY

There are signs of water damage and peeling paint as another reviewer commented. Some of the toys offered really looked worn down and are in need of replacement. My son did like the ball pit section that you can use the pressurized cannons to do some target practice. The video gaming section was cool for the older kids and adults alike. The legos/ duplo blocks section was also another favorite of my son. The party was strictly 2 hours - one hour to play and the other hour was for eating, cake and some dancing. The young staff was very friendly and interacted with the kids very sweetly. I was a little upset for the momma hosting the party that she was unaware that there was a birthday party immediately following hers, which caused overcrowding when we were trying to park in the parking lot. She was also telling us that the pricing and what was offered didn't match what was previously discussed. I hope she was able to sort everything out afterward, but we didn't feel rushed in any way. Party rooms were color coded and the bathrooms were right outside so there was nothing to worry about there. For children with SPD, there are strobe lights and they play loud music when they were doing freeze dance, so just be aware beforehand. It was alright, but I wouldn't say our experience was over the top of memorable.
