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.

So not good! I ordered a caprese salad. I was so disappointed. First of all it looked nothing like…read moreI would expect. the tomatoes looked like Romas that were peeled and halved. 4 on the plate. HARD and no flavor. clearly not ripe. Further the burrata was rubbery and no creaminess. there were about 4 tiny pieces of basil less then a half of an inch more like one quarter of an inch. needless to say I sent it back. Now the bar staff are always lovely however if the best you can offer is sorry we will take it off the bill do you want anything else...hell yes I want the chef to tell me what's going on and why they dropped the ball and maybe fix it. how convenient for wait staff to say oh well sorry want something else. To go back I need to see that they care that the food is slipping. Not the first time this has happened. Shame on me for returning!

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. The whole event was organized very well, Food was fantastic, from the appetizers to the main course. 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.

This castle is gorgeous! The spiraling entrance to the castle was great way to build expectations…read morefor guests. 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.

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!

Since the very beginning last year when I was researching places to have the shower, I was immediately impressed with the professionalism, friendliness, responsiveness, and accommodating ways of each of the staff members I dealt with. When I walked into the venue the day of the shower, I was overwhelmed and awestruck! It looked so beautiful... beyond what I had expected... and I felt like I was walking into a room from a fairy tale! Everything was set up as I had requested and it looked absolutely perfect. All of the staff were extremely attentive and kept checking in with me to see if I needed anything. The food was served on time and, once again, was beyond what I had anticipated! I am still to this day hearing from friends and family on how exceptional the food, venue and staff were! Everything was beyond perfect and I can't thank you all enough for making this a memory that will definitely last lifetime. This event was comparable to my wedding day and trips to Disney... that's how perfect everything was! I am extra grateful to Lauren Paradis-St. Croix, who has continually gone above and beyond for me in every way to make sure this event was perfect for my daughter... AND IT WAS! Lauren has treated me like a family member, and in all the events I have ever planned, I have never experienced such exceptional service. Of course, there ended up being a huge snowstorm predicted for the day of my event, and I panicked! Lauren kept in constant contact with me (even after work hours) as we monitored the weather updates, and, most importantly, she was so empathetic to me and kept me calm. At the last minute, she magically rescheduled the whole event for me for the next day, while continuing to accommodate all my additional requests and changes. She is truly amazing and one in a million! I am eagerly awaiting the next event I can have Lauren plan for me there!
