I went to an event here. The place is lovely inside. The food came out late, and I am not sure if…read morethat was by the planners or in general. The food was quite good when it came out. The food was table by table and we were one of the last ones to have been served. The waiters were personable and nice. Overall it was well run and the drinks were also around the room to take so that was a nice touch instead of standing at the bar.

The whole day was flawless. Thank you to John the owner/manager and his staff who treated us like we were the only people in the world that mattered. We had the ceremony, cocktail hour & reception there. Everything was timed perfectly. The food was on another level of amazing. John is the perfect gentleman and very easy to work with. He went above and beyond to take excellent care of us. Everything was flawless. To say thank you is a gross understatement as to how we feel. This place is a gem and deserves great things. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

Hubby and I have been here before for other functions so it was a pleasure to visit again, for my…read moregirlfriend's mom's birthday party. The staff was very attentive to all the guests and helped to maintain the secret until the perfect moment when we all yelled, "Surprise!", to the lady of the hour. They offer valet which was helpful, especially since it had been raining that day and we had the little one in attendance. They have a coat check and a bathroom attendent who was a little odd but the bathroom remained clean during the entire event. The food was VERY good. They had a cocktail hour which we unfortunately missed, but their buffet was on point and there was so much food left over that guests were provided with containers to take home food. My favourite would have to be their oxtails. They were fall-off-the-bone good and saucy. The one thing that irked me was that the staff was serving themselves from the buffet, which I've never seen at a function; not saying they can't eat since they're working but I've never seen employees making plates from which the same buffet the guests and hosts are served, making take home containers as well. I probably only saw it because we were seated right next to the food (because my friend knows I love to eat). In the end, everyone had a great time dancing, drinking, eating ans celebrating a wonderful woman who enjoyed a spectacular day, and full of joy and happiness.

We are a non-profit organization that reserved this establishment for a particular date and time…read more Unfortunately, we ran into some difficulties and had to postpone for a later date (at least that what we thought we could've done). Because we could not make that planned date, we alerted Maestro of our unfortunates and he agreed that if he could not find anyone to fill our cancelled slot, then we would lose the $1,000.00 that we used to reserve the hall. However, if Maestro find someone to utilize that room for the planned date, then we, the non-profit organization can postpone to a later date. Although Maestro did find someone to fill that date, they refuse to stick to their promise of postponing until a later date. Now we lost $1,000.00 and did not get the postponement as promised by this business. I will certainly pass this information on to as many folks as possible. Their attitude and money hungry oriented mind were at full display during my conversation with management. Never again!!

We loved having our wedding at Surf Club on the Sound. We worked with Rick, who was very…read moreaccommodating and so helpful with the wedding process. He worked really well with us and our wedding planner as well. On our big day, he was very helpful, understanding and eased our nerves with how many unexpected changes that came throughout the day. He was also very understanding and accommodating with our family's cultural needs. The food was also amazing. He worked extensively with us to make the best menu possible for our guests. We were so impressed when we had our taste test it was almost hard to eliminate the options. Definitely go with the steak and fried onions! Also, the salmon with sweet potato was amazing and made me really like mashed sweet potatoes. One thing I was worried about was the smell of the fresh mulch outside during our visits but thankfully, that was not a problem during our actual wedding day! The venue came with my very own bridal attendant, Breanna who was very knowledgeable and learned how to bustle both of my dresses on her own without my asking, which i was very impressed with! I'm so grateful for her in making the day run so smoothly and someone to chill with when I had a moment to myself. Overall, the venue was amazing. Our guests loved the scenery and the venue was big enough to accommodate our nearly 400 party size!

If I could give this place 0 stars, I would…read more Surf's Club was one of the most unpleasant venues I've ever worked at. The carpets smelled so bad that I genuinely started feeling dizzy while setting up for my bride. The loading dock is right by the dumpster area, and the smell back there is overwhelming. There was garbage juice trailing from the dumpster area toward the kitchen where they prepare the food, which was honestly shocking to see. The entire area looked neglected and unsanitary. The vendor entrance hallway had two fly traps that were completely covered in dead flies and looked like they hadn't been changed in a very long time. It was disgusting. What bothered me even more than the cleanliness was how the staff treated vendors. We were treated like second-class citizens. I was told I wasn't allowed to use the main bathroom and had to go all the way to the basement instead. I've worked at many venues and have never experienced separate bathrooms based on whether you're a vendor or a guest. I also got lectured for arriving 30 minutes late to set up, even though it had absolutely no impact on the event and the party wasn't starting for another six hours. Despite having plenty of time, we were constantly rushed throughout setup. The entire experience felt unnecessarily hostile and unprofessional. They made sure to remind every vendor exactly where we stood. If you're looking for a similar venue, save yourself the headache and book Greentree Country Club instead. The staff is welcoming and respectful, the venue is spotless, the views are beautiful, and the overall experience is everything Surf's Club should strive to be. I won't be returning to Surf's Club, and based on my experience, I wouldn't recommend it.

The entire process, working with this owner, was the most inconvenient and stressful part of my…read moreparty planning (and my birthday outfit was a disaster when I went to pick it up, so that should tell you how serious I am). The event space was recommended to my cousin via an event planner that knew/worked with the owner during the initial phase of scouting venues. Upon reaching out to her to schedule the tour of the venue, the message we got back from her via the event planner was something the along the lines of "please be on time because she has things to do" now I'm not saying this was the exact words BUT it was along those lines. Now, we went to see the space the next day. Not only did she now show up or communicate that she wasn't showing up, she sends someone who if not mistaken, is her dad and he was late :). He was very nice I must say. Probably the only pleasant encounter I had the entire process (and the reason I actually booked). Being that he couldn't answer any in depth business questions, we followed up with the owner with questions. It was pretty cut and dry, but in my mind I'm thinking this is a Black woman business owner and I rather give my people my money. She asked what time would we need the space because events after midnight requires security. I told her I'm looking to have my event 8-midnight or 8-1am, would that mean that I have to get security for 1 hour? She tells me, oh you would need it from 8pm-1am for an additional $130. Yea ok miss ma'am because that's NOT what you just said lol. Keep in mind, this event space is NOT cheap. It's $2500 PLUS a $300 refundable deposit if the venue is turned over clean and on time. I had my cousin speak to her from day 1 because I knew deep down in my soul I was going to curse her out for being rude, condescending and unaccommodating. Fast forward from October to January. The venue was booked from 6pm-2am as she only allows an 8 hr slot. That gives me 2 hrs to decorate the space. I asked my cousin to ask if there's anyway we can get in the space any earlier she says $150. My cousin went back to her to plead, asked if she had another event before mine and she said she didn't. She is just HARD for no reason. She eventually compromised to allow 30 minutes earlier. The ONLY accommodations she provided me, was allowing me to pay the balance on the day of event. It is now Jan 28, my team is at event space ready to set up at 5:15pm (remember she said we can have the space at 5:30pm instead of 6pm). At 5:45pm I arrived and everyone is still outside. My cousin calls her and her response is "technically, y'all paid for 6pm so someone is on the way to open the venue" Can you believe that? Lol. Someone finally shows up to open the venue and we walk into an unclean venue. There was a bucket of dirty water and a mop that smells like death in the doorway. There was flowers that was probably from a repass service or something, amongst other things. So not only did she not stick to her word to get us in 30 minutes earlier which I needed to decorate for my OWN event, but she opens the venue at 6 and we have to clean up before we start decorating. We had to call to get help with turning on the air and to adjust the lighting. Like noone was present to help or instruct us on anything. Fast forward to after the event. I had the space until 2am. We started wrapping up around 12:30 because my dj was booked until 1am and he had another booking after my event. At around 1:15am, a random maid was walking around my party asking for "Lorraine". At this time I had 6 out of 8 tables, completely cleared with chairs up, the last 2 tables being worked on, lights are on, dj is 90% packed up, 85% of my guests are GONE. As I am speaking to a few guests this maid interrupts the conversation and says "I'm looking for Lorraine?" So I said "do you mean LORI-ANN? Because I'm her." And she's like "oh yea, I just wanted you to know that the owner is on the way and you guys can begin cleaning up" LOL. So I pointed to the event space and asked her, "what does it look like is happening here?" before turning my back to continue the conversation. This is my BIRTHDAY. I am sending my guests off and you interrupt me, call me the WRONG name and speaking to be in a condescending tone? Furthermore, I have the space until 2am! If I decide to start cleaning at 1:59am that's ON ME. She has my deposit (and thank GOD I only gave her $100 vs $300 on the deposit).

They have clean bathrooms and many opportunities to personalize an event. I would definitely suggest this space to friends for a bridal or baby shower and any other small scale party or event.

I had my Uncle's 90th birthday party there and it could not have been more perfect. We had eleven tables with ten seats at each table and there was still plenty of room to dance. It was immaculately clean, the layout of the bar, coat room, bathroom, kitchen, tables, dance floor, the buffet table area, and a small stage area for the music was the perfect layout. It was also easily accessible to walk in for the elderly or for wheelchairs. Frank was such a great help in renting the hall to me, and Tricia, that manage the party, prepared everything for me the day of the party. She was not only professional, she was exceptionally personable and could not have been more helpful, or work any harder, to make my party the success that it was. I could not be more thankful to both of them. It is also a great central location for my family coming from Long Island, Queens, Rockland County and NJ. Definitely a great place to have any type of a celebration. I am sure to be back!

Disappointed by Miscommunication and Billing Issues…read more I was told in advance that the restaurant could split the bill across up to six credit cards, but upon arrival, the waiter said only three were allowed. I asked him to double-check, and he said he would--but never followed up. At the end of the meal, he ran everything on one check without consulting me, which created confusion for our group. When I questioned him, he claimed that whoever gave me the original info denied saying it, referring vaguely to a "lady or man," which made it clear he hadn't actually checked. On top of that, several menu prices didn't match what was charged, and he blamed it on the system--another excuse that didn't sit right. The staff seemed overwhelmed, and while I understand busy nights happen, the lack of communication and accountability was frustrating. If you choose to dine here, I strongly recommend double-checking your bill before paying.
