At our most recent event, they keep raising the price of everything due to the economy, we understood, they did not let us have extra time (even though we wanted to pay for it) because they had an event in morning, we understood. But while my guests were on the dance floor along with our children's dance group, the manager went and pulled the plug from the wall to the speakers to end the music because we were 1 minute past our contract time, that we will never understand!!! How disgusting is that!!!! Never mind the food always comes out cold and they robbed us!! They made us pay for extra meals and when the guests didn't come, I asked for those plates to donate to the shelter, and they said they didn't have them. Staff either ate them or took it home for themselves on our money. Stay away!!! Old management was amazing and human beings, this new crew is all about the money, really sad!!!

I have to admit, I was a little nervous about Kittle House being under new ownership, but I was…read morepleasantly surprised when I arrived and saw the beautiful outdoor area. It's such a lovely setting and the perfect place to relax and enjoy a drink. I met a friend there and we started outside with a lovely cocktail before moving inside for dinner. The meal was delicious, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was truly wonderful. Everyone was attentive, friendly, and made us feel very welcome throughout the evening. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and I'm definitely looking forward to coming back. That said, I would consider Kittle House more of a special-occasion restaurant, as it is on the pricier side. But for a nice celebration, dinner with friends, or when you're looking for a beautiful setting and excellent service, it's definitely worth a visit!

You are literally the only people somewhere in the neighborhood of 530 to 6 o'clock on a weeknight. We elected to sit outside, which was lovely. They have some interesting cocktails, which has just the right amount of sweetness and just the right amount of strength. Something called to me from the cheese plate and that felt non negotiable. This thing was a beauty. There were a nice variety of cheeses and a fair amount of accompaniments including breads/carbs, nuts, the quintessential cheese plate honey, and a very patriotic combination of raspberries and blueberries which feels appropriate right before 4th of July. Very high praises for the cheese board. I am vegetarian and believe it or not, there was more than one thing for me to choose from. I went wild and ordered the "eggplant parm". It is very possible that I did not read the menu thoroughly but this wasn't a typical eggplant parm but rather a cylinder of mozzarella cheese, sauce, and presumably (and hopefully) eggplant. It was ok. I was so full from the cheese plate that I couldn't even eat half of it but brought it home. I had some of it the following day but ultimately it wasn't worth the calories. GF ordered one of the specials: salmon on vegetables. Plate was clean after so take from that what you will. Service was great. Loved the cocktails and the cheese plate, was a touch disappointed in the eggplant parm.

My fiance and I decided to look at this location because I know someone who got married here and…read moreher wedding looked beautiful. Spoke to Margot who was very kind and pleasant. We let her know back in January 13 of 2015 that we would have a guest list of 65 and that she would work with us since the minimum was 75. She showed us two different rooms, my fiance and I let her know we wanted to use one room for the reception and the other room for the wedding ceremony. We told her our wedding date would be April 22, 2016, she told us that the dinner price would go up because of the year and month we decided on but not by much, she told us that that wouldn't be a problem since people usually don't get married on a Friday so we would be able to have both rooms, however, she told us if a bigger wedding party were to want to hold their wedding at their establishment on the same day as our wedding, we would be forced to use the smaller room for the reception and the wedding ceremony. We told her we would need to talk about this, finally my fiance and I emailed her and decided to finally put a deposit down. I emailed Margot on March 16 of 2015 and let her know that we would like to put a deposit down for April 22, 2016, Margot proceeded to tell me that that day was booked and that we would have to pick a different day even though she told us that we would've been forced to use the smaller room if someone with a bigger wedding party booked the same day as us. She also let me know that the minimum is 75 period even though she said that she would work with us because we had a wedding party of 65. I let her know that that was absurd and we decided to go with another wedding venue, she proceeded to tell me that all contracts do these types of changes and to read a contract carefully, that the minimum has change and she told us this from the beginning even though she said she doesn't want to turn business away and that she would work with us with the minimum amount of people we had. At that point I stopped emailing Margot and my fiance and I actually put a deposit down with a better establishment that won't screw us over and that because we put a deposit down that the whole place is ours period. The Matrix should know better than to do business like this, you just don't say one thing and do another thing, it's very shady. This is how you don't do business.

This review is going towards my experience I had here, and the Dramatic Hall itself is setup very…read morevery nicely. This place can be hosted with a number of events of your choice, private party, drama set, you name it, it will happen and be taken care of by the facility. On my first visit, I wasn't expecting it to look so eye appealing, but stepping in sure answered that question. The room is fairly large with plenty of seating and also a balcony with tables along with a bar - pretty cool if you ask me. With it being very crowded, there are two stair wells to move foot traffic along quickly. I like the decorations all around the room, especially the disco balls that were hanging (a big fan of disco, no joke). It's awesome just taking it all in. The room looked very clean for our event, and I highly recommend booking them for any event if your choice. *Parking is provided on the street and also a parking area just east of this building. Also, the Dramatic Hall is located on the 3rd level via elevator or stairs.*

I'm reviewing this venue exclusively as my experience as a guest/vendor…read more Came here for a clients wedding which is also a friend so I got to experience both aspects: being a vendor and enjoying some things as a guest. First off, I have to say this, I've never seen anything like the Dramatic Hall. It sure lives up to its name. Seriously so much drama and it surely is a photographers playground. It was the perfect atmosphere for a Sunday wedding. Can't say enough how much I enjoyed photographing a wedding here. Everything was so royal and "extra" without being too over the top. The lightning truly was my favorite as well as all the industrial/modern feels. Love the disco balls that hang elegantly as well as the two stairs that wrap around. It's such a fun, different space for any occasion but especially for a wedding. Parking's not the best but they have street parking available nearby. Sunday's it's free so that's a plus. If you're looking for a different kind of venue this is your spot. You will love all the drama and fun it has!

The buildings look brand new, the lawns are well manicured, the rooms are simple (no coffee machine!) and totally quiet, and the place is HUGE. However, it looks like operations restarted recently and the hotel is not operating at 100%. For instance, while they do serve a good breakfast buffet, there is no restaurant to eat at other than a cafe that only serves beverages and snacks and closes at 2 pm. Also - and this is my favorite part - the hotel was 99% empty when I visited! That was such a trip! I walked and walked and saw almost no one, except for maybe two employees and a small group that seemed to be having some sort of corporate event nestled in a far away corner of the very large premises. I felt like I was in a feel-good episode of the Twilight Zone. I'd go back just to walk around the empty grounds. It was so cool!!! A very surreal experience that I enjoyed very much. Oh - I did eventually run into the bartender and ended up chatting with her for a few hours. She was lovely!

Our rooms were ready right when we got there so that we could drop off our bags. Food/drinks were plentiful throughout the entire conference; every time there was a break from our talks, there was a wide array of snacks set out for us outside the main auditorium. The food during the main meals was also pretty good. The accommodations were pretty nice as well. They have a lot of nice indoor and outdoor spaces for gatherings. There are lots of beautiful spots on the property to walk around and enjoy the nature scenery. Overall, I had a fantastic conference experience here!

I'd definitely attend another event here!

Nikki Glekas Events is a phenomenal caterer and event planner - hands down the best in the…read moretri-state area. Nikki, Charlotte, and their team flawlessly planned and executed our 100+ person wedding in Connecticut and transformed our backyard and home into a beautiful, professional venue. During the planning process, our coordinators maintained transparent communication with us and were extremely responsive to our ongoing questions, concerns, and changes. They helped organize with our other vendors (DJ, photographer, etc.), and provided meaningful advice and guidelines every step of the way - from selecting our menu to choosing venue décor and even providing advice as to how to word our invitations. On the day of our wedding, those same coordinators ensured that the event proceeded smoothly, monitoring the timeline, flow, and jumping in where needed. For example: when we arrived home from the ceremony, we were immediately met by Nikki's staff who had specifically prepared appetizers and drinks for the wedding party to enjoy (and to replenish!) before making our big introduction to the rest of the wedding guests. Many of our guests raved about the food being among the best they have had at a wedding. This is by far where Nikki Glekas Events stands head and shoulders above other event planners / caterers - her food is simply excellent. To successfully plate 100+ meals outside in Connecticut during October, to keep them HOT, and to maintain quality is no small feat. Nikki's team executed this with ease. We were so thrilled with the process and outcome for our wedding that we hired Nikki's team for our baby shower - which once again was an absolute home run. To Nikki, Charlotte, and the entire staff at NGE, thank you so very much for your tireless work and your impeccable attention to detail. We look forward to working with you again for our future celebrations.
