I was extremely disappointed with the Mother's Day brunch experience this year. My family and I had…read morevisited before and absolutely loved the atmosphere and food, which is why I encouraged my family to celebrate here for Mother's Day. Unfortunately, this visit was nothing like our previous experiences. This was not a cheap brunch, yet it lacked some of the most basic brunch offerings -- no omelet station, no waffles, pancakes, or the variety that was offered in the past. The food overall was very disappointing and nowhere near worth the price. What made it even worse was the dessert area. Once desserts ran out, they were never refilled, and several members of my family never even had the chance to try them. For the amount charged, this is unacceptable. I even asked the host about the omelet station they used to offer and was told it was removed because the lines would get too long. That is not a good excuse. Other brunch places like Grand Concourse still manage to offer omelet stations, waffle stations, eggs, meats, and much more at a similar or even lower price point. I left embarrassed and disappointed after recommending this place to my family for such a special occasion. Sadly, we will not be returning, and I would not recommend this brunch experience to others looking for a quality Mother's Day celebration.

Philomenas Review…read more We used this catering company several times once we decided to use them for our wedding. We booked her one year in advance, and we used her for A New Year's Eve party, and for our wedding shower. These two events required only the food to be present, no service. At the original taste testing, the food was phenomenal as was at each event. Very flavorful and delicious, nothing was dry as it was quality food. The same can even be said about the food at our wedding for those that got it... We discussed our concerns with Amanda on several occasions that we had met. We did two separate taste testings to try a variety of foods, we drove there to pick up food several times, and we went there for tasting our signature drink. On top of that we had no less than 10 phone conversations and several emails discussing details of our wedding and the quality of service we expected. This is why the review has a poor rating. We get married one time in our lives, and the people from our wedding will remember how horrible the service was. We paid extra money for a "bartending service" who told our guests they were supposed to be there serving food. We asked Amanda if she had handled a wedding of this size before (300+ people) She assured us that they do 500 person events all the time. After my mother-in-law had to ask for salad at her table 6 times, and then ask for dressing another four times, we began to panic and realize Amanda over-promised and under delivered severely. In addition to this, the tables were supposed to be bussed and cleared, the plates were to be washed, none of this was done. The head table never got their glasses of water which remained upside down until we cleaned up the next day. We had less than 300 guests RSVP. We paid Philomena's for 310 guests worth of food. We had a total of 278 people attend our wedding, and she still ran out of food even though she insisted on several occasions that there would be more than enough food. She also said there will be several items left over and she would put out to go containers. Speaking of this, she said they would have plenty of time to kill while they were there and to give her things to do while she was there. She was entirely unprepared. When the bridal party walked in and they were still serving salad, we knew this was a disaster. When we spoke with Amanda the following day about the issues that we had, she tried to blame The fact they were unprepared because of the cookies in her area. She promised us that she would be putting out the cookies at the cookie table and never did! My family had to put them all out! We also gave her extra space at the venue as she was worried she wouldn't have enough. In addition to this disaster, I had to dismiss tables on my own wedding night, because Amanda did not bring enough help as clearly her bartenders we're supposed to be serving food, so then we were forced to shut down the bar so the guests could be served. There are several other details minor or large that I may be missing, but I am so upset and frustrated with how this turned out that people now remember our wedding as the wedding that was amazing except for the catering. If you want to use this company be sure to use them for only their food because that is all they are good for. Their services are sub par at best.

Service was great and the bartender did a fantastic job taking care of everyone at the bar. The chicken wings were great and cooked perfectly. The best part of the night was this phenomenal "Thai Beef" salad! It was very different than any salad I've had before, and I love that this place offers some diverse dishes on their menu. The beef was soooo delicious and genuinely cooked to perfection. If you're looking to mix it up, 100% try that salad--you will NOT be disappointed! Thank you Dive Bar & Grille for a fun night :)
