From the beginning of the event, she was looking for ways to ruin it for me. She ruined the moment, and I paid a lot of money for that venue. She started threatening me, arguing that she would close the bar in the middle of my event after I had paid for an open bar, and she refused to serve alcohol to the guests. She is abusive and racist. I have videos and witnesses of how she treated me; she was never kind or polite to me, and she went out to say that they had rules, but they never give you a contract or explain what you need to do. I would not recommend a Hispanic person to hold an event at this place; it was a very bad experience.

This was a four course meal preceded by an extremely large antipasto buffet. From beginning to the end the food was fabulous. The entire wait and bartender staff were absolutely fantastic and took care of everyone's needs with a smile. A special shout out to Joe and Claudia who were a delight. Their professionalism and kindness went above and beyond. I would give the Stone House 5 stars for any type of party or dinning experience.

For the amount of money you pay to host an event here, I expected a much higher level of organization and service. There was essentially no one overseeing our party. The venue only had one golf cart available to transport items from the parking lot to the venue, despite having two other events happening at the same time. Site staff were nowhere to be found when we needed assistance, which made the entire experience unnecessarily stressful. The bartender was also frequently leaving the room and sitting outside on his phone, rather than being attentive to the guests. This is especially frustrating when you're paying a premium price to host an event and expect the staff to be present and engaged. They also charge a $1,500 room fee for the patio, which is an outrageous additional cost considering how little staff attention and support we received. It's honestly a shame because the ambiance is beautiful and the food is decent. The venue has a lot of potential, but the service and management need significant improvement. For the prices they charge, the level of staffing, organization, and attentiveness should be much higher. Management needs to do better.

Apparently, Snug Harbor Cultural Center & Botanical Gardens is the largest adaptive reuse in the…read morefive boroughs, or at least it was at one time in the 20th Century. What it is now is 83 acres along the north shore of Staten Island that began as a home for retired sailors in the 19th, with large residential buildings and a nautical museum whose Italianate architecture reminds of the Borgia palaces in the old world. Last Saturday it was crowded with weddings and birthday parties capturing the beauty of the day. It was an unplanned cultural festival. Wet easy to walk around and get caught up in the many events happening at the same time. While the gardens and pathways showed signs of benign neglect, the many buildings were in some degree of renovation, and the history of this area was on beautiful romantic display. There was food and drink for the asking, and even a few knowledgeable docents to answer questions about Tom Melville (Herman's younger brother), governor of Snug Harbor for over 30 years. Word is that part of Moby Dick was written right from the front porch of the governor's mansion. The various botanical zones were interesting, if somewhat overgrown, but their "gone to seed" attitude was somehow very appealing. This was New York City giving shelter in its special offhanded way. Only the strong survive. The Chinese Scholars Garden was the best of the choices. Walking through the Moon Door into the bamboo and still deep coy ponds was a Zen moment I stopped to appreciate. It had an entry cover charge ($5), but it was worth the expense for the obvious extra effort they made to make this walled secret garden more enjoyable. Snug Harbor is so unique, only 5 Stars can begin to capture its special charm.

The gardens are beautiful - filled with a diverse variety of plants from all over the world. Last weekend the weather was perfect - not too hot or humid. The park had a decent crowd but not overcrowded. Also, there was security staff scattered throughout the park. There were vendors selling items. I spoke to a few people and learned they have some excellent food vendors as well as events there. Additionally, the Chinese Scholars Garden was open but they wanted 5$ admission for one adult. It was the end of the day so I decided to skip it. I've been there many times over the years and always found it a relaxing place to visit. There's a gorgeous vine-covered passageway and colorful Monarch butterflies to be discovered along the way. Highly recommend.
