What I saw here was: A big positive experience from the time I drove in to the time I left. The valet staff greeted me well and quickly before taking my car. The pickup was also very simple even though I left as many people were coming in. The ironic part of this visit is that I had been here (called GiGis) 48 year's ago for a wedding celebration.) The venue had clearly been updated and mondernized. It was really very nice here. A manager greeted me and was extremely helpful directing me to my room. There were two upstairs both large and clean. The room was lovely and beautifully decorated for the event which was a nice combination of Red & Yellow. For my very limited time here it was a wonderful experience. KUDOs to all the wonderful people at Verdis!!

They took care of us as if we were family!!! Chad and Sophia were thoughtful, responsive and authentic in ensuring that our vision of creating a memorable experience in the celebration of our mother's 90th birthday was not just met but that it would exceed expectations, and, indeed, the afternoon celebration did just that! The responses from our guests have been overwhelmed with positivity, with raves about the beauty of the venue from the moment they entered the property, starting with the parking lot filled with the colorful, lush bushes and flowers and the bridge to the beauty of the space within welcomed by the pianist while further in a pond of giant colorful goldfish. The conversation has not stopped about the kindness of the staff or how wonderful the food tasted with its variety of choices. Let's also not forget the magnificent cake created by their on-site baker who also brought our request to life with the divine red-velvet cake with butter-cream frosting complimented with an additional, lavish buffet-style selection of desserts with an ice-cream cart thrown in for good measure!!! Lee, our Maître D, executed in excellence as she helped us to navigate the ebbs and flows of the afternoon program including when things did not go as we had scripted. Her expertise assisted in keeping us on task, so it felt seamless!! Special thanks also to our mom's attendant, Melissa. Thank you for the gentle care you provided to our mom. So appreciated and will never be forgotten... The staff, the ambiance, the warmth, the kindness and helpfulness thru ought the experience from start to finish continues to resonate in an impactful way... Thank you, Jericho Terrace, for making a dream come true and for giving our mother a 90th birthday celebration that collectively, we will never forget!!

They came from all over to celebrate. The African attire was breathtaking. We all had a great time. Location on Jericho Tpke you can take either Jericho Tpke straight to the venue, or Northern State parkway is nearby. The venue itself was very festive and bright. Parking was simple. When you enter the building the decor was incredible. Glamorous. Cocktail hour was located on the 2nd floor which I missed. Main party on the 3rd floor. DJ and band was awesome. Hype man which was gma nephew really hyped things up. 5 course meal was served.. champagne, unlimited drinks at the bar. I ordered the beef ribs . To rate I would give it a 6. Meat was a bit rough. But I did enjoy the Miso salmon which was soooo good with the risotto rice. I rate the salmon a 10. Overall the entire party was great until the end . We had oreo cheesecake and cake and unfortunately my cake had a long piece of hair in it. Gross. Then it started to get extremely cold in the venue. So we decided to leave. Overall I had a great time. This place is amazing to have a party , wedding , etc. Happy Yelping.

It is very easy to…read moreget this location from either the Northern State, Long Island Expressway or Northern Boulevard. I have never been to the restaurant only catered events. We had approximately 80 people downstairs for a Kiwanis event in a nice size room with another attached area for the cocktail hour. We also used that room for the Buffet, and ultimately a group picture at the end of the night. This was an event focused on young students. Our Kiwanis Club's were honoring these students for their outstanding achievement in school. With that in mind, we kept the food simple, so they were Quesadillas, Chicken Franchise, Penne à la vodka, and mixed vegetables. Everyone enjoyed all the food. Chicken was tender and tasty, Penne was cooked well with a tasty Vodka sauce and the Chicken Quesadillas were tasty and cooked well. Apparently they do an outstanding job with whatever they serve. I always look forward coming back to this venue for what I know will be a great event. KUDOs to the team at Metropolitan Caterers.

I have performed at and attended attended countless community events at multiple venues across New York & across the states. Let me start by saying out of all my experiences this was the best experience working with a venue. Nobody manages a venue and leads a team like Mr. Raj and his entire team do. They were an absolute dream for my childhood friend to work with for her fairytale wedding. Raj worked closely with the bride & her family to ensure all aspects of the wedding were covered to perfection. He treats his clients like family. He made sure to attend to every phone call, meeting with the family whenever necessary & he didn't miss a SINGLE BEAT! Even with planning a last minute COVID wedding! If you're looking for outstanding delivery for your special event look no further, do not hesitate to book this hall. Catering/Food was outstanding! Delicious desi halal food was accommodated for the guests and special dishes/entree for the bride & groom which Raj personally ensured to set up! All of our family and friends were left in awe. Their tiered cake was a bliss! Decorations were absolutely phenomenal as you can tell from the photos. Mr. Raj went above and beyond to deliver extravagant decor for the hall! The bride so badly wanted a flower bed for her entrance which was specifically built for her special day as provided by Raj. The elaborate centerpieces speak for themselves! He added a tasteful touch with the bride & groom's initials on the grass wall amongst other details. He specially had a divider made as requested for the Nikkah ceremony from gorgeous flowers at the sweetheart table. Execution was a 1000% on point! Every detail was taken care of-- small and big. Raj definitely went out of his way to take care of the bride and her family. He catered to every single request made and absolutely went to larger extents than imagined to make this day special for both the bride and groom as well as their families. His entire team was hardworking, attentive and efficient! Above all, Raj and his wife are absolute gems of individuals with only positive energy and the best interest at heart for whomever books with them. His experience and expertise in the industry speak for itself and reflects in his work as he pays attention to understanding your needs and makes the best suggestions! This is not the first event at his venues I have worked with him for and I have seen nothing but professionalism and simply perfection every single time.

Couldn't have asked for a better team with a special shout out to Ian who made the magic happen all day and Daniela who took wonderful care of the bridal party. Everyone was fantastic: so friendly, helpful, and made sure everyone felt special and taken care of. They made the whole day run smoothly, so we could just relax and enjoy the party. We got lucky with the weather but the space with the beautiful grounds and water view, the fireplace, the speakeasy made for a great event!

Bhaijaan is such a hidden gem!…read more From the outside, Bhaijaan is small and unassuming, but the moment you step inside, you're transported into this beautiful, retro Indian-inspired space. The colors, vintage details, and overall décor are so thoughtfully done! It's genuinely a feast for the eyes. Our waiter was patient, attentive, and incredibly nice, which made the entire experience even better. We started with drinks: Bhaijaan's Old Fashioned, Clarified Mango Lassi, and Smoky Delhi and honestly, every single one was delicious! Major kudos to the bartender. We also tried the Green Pavilion mocktail, which was super refreshing and delicious. For small plates, we went all out with the Achari Paneer Tikka, Amritsari Kulcha, Irani Cafe Goat Sliders, and Angara Murg Tikka. And OOF... So much flavor! The meats were incredibly tender and flavorful, and all the spices and flavors blended together beautifully. Round two of drinks included the Jamun Spritz, Hugo Spritz, and Begum Spritz. These were lighter, refreshing, and gave major brunch vibes. All of the drinks were also beautifully presented, which made them even more fun to try. For the mains, we went with the Nihari Experience and Calcutta Mutton Biryani. I highly recommend trying the Nihari Experience at least once! The meat was so tender, the gravy was rich and flavorful, and the Khameeri Roti had the perfect balance of softness and slight crunch. It also came with Lasooni Aloo and Raita, both of which were packed with flavor. Honestly, between the beautiful retro décor, incredible food and drinks, and genuinely wonderful service, Bhaijaan really impressed me. There was so much variety and so many little details that made the meal feel special. Definitely a place I'd recommend and I'm already looking forward to coming back for dinner!

A small group of us went and indulged in the following: Cocktails: Negroni, Shikanji Vodka Sour, and Don's Espresso Martini (I asked for it less sweet, and they obliged). All were 10/10 excellent. Note: Expect NYC pricing, especially with the Hendrick's Gin upcharge. Palak Patta - Lightly fried, with a tamarind sauce, yogurt on the side (by request) and honestly very enjoyable to eat. Crunchy, light, perfect. Lamb Shank Rogan Josh - One big ole shank with an excellent sauce primed for naan scooping. The meat was fall of the bone tender. Relive your medieval times/ren faire dreams and chew off the bone when you're done. The Chicken Dum Biryani - Arrived with small, tender chicken pieces tucked into fragrant, flavor packed rice, all sealed under a fun dough cap. It tasted as expected. Very good! But I will admit, I prefer a friend's homemade version a little better. The jackfruit version looked interesting for a future meal. Tiger Prawns - Absolutely massive and delicious! You'll only get 4 for $35. Smoked Kadhai Chicken - Waiter did not ask about spice preference, and this one came out hot as lava. Minimal smokey flavor. I mean, if it was smokey, my mouth was like a 5 alarm fire so I wouldn't have tasted it anyway. Sauce was thick, full of chilis and peppers. if you like bell peppers, this is a dish for you. Also good for naan scooping! Saffon Pistachio Kulfi - Looked pretty in pink but straight up, not a dish for me. Didn't like the texture and it was simultaneously bland and sweet. I thought the pistachio would be more prevalent. Pass! Interior was beautiful, and visually fun. Loved all the peacocks, and soothing green tones around. Friends who have been before remarked about the service, which we had no issue with. While our waiter seemed young, and maybe new-er to the restaurant (based on our questions), he was attentive and quick to swap plates, answer questions and politely laugh at our bad jokes. Bartenders were also friendly and receptive. Protips: 1) Valet parking and this spot is RIGHT after the gas station. You'll miss it if you're not paying attention. I ended up parking on the street down the block, for a little added exercise, but do watch the signs. 2) While the interior is NYC-cocktail-bar-chic, you don't necessarily need to be donning full cocktail bar attire. Smart casual, business casual, perhaps a cute little dress if you're on a date! Overall, prices are on the high side, at least for a cuisine many consider "cheap". However, there are so, so many more dishes on the menu that I wanted to sink my teeth into, so I will be back. 4.5/5 rounded up for 5 stars.

5 Stars -- Our Dream Wedding at Coral House & Dream Events!…read more From the moment we walked into the Coral House, we were treated like family. Patrick and Leandra greeted us with such warmth that we looked forward to every visit. Jay, our Manager, was an absolute gem -- knowledgeable, organized, and incredibly patient. She has an amazing design eye and went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect, from décor to timing to keeping this panicked bride calm! The food was outstanding. At our tasting, we were surprised with full-sized portions of each dish -- and the food served on our wedding day was exactly the same: hot, delicious, and beautifully plated. Our maître d', DJ, took care of us all evening and made sure we had everything we needed. The private bridal suite stocked with hors d'oeuvres, drinks, and a personal server was such a classy touch. The service from every Coral House staff member was impeccable -- professional, attentive, and genuinely kind. Even staff not assigned to our party greeted us with smiles and offers to help. Dream Events, led by Samantha, handled our entertainment package flawlessly -- the DJ (Christian) was phenomenal, the bartender kept the drinks flowing, the décor was stunning, and the photographer captured every moment. Our guests are still talking about how amazing everything was -- especially the ice cream cart after all that dancing! Coral House and Dream Events delivered above and beyond what they promised. Our wedding was perfect, and we have zero complaints. If you're looking for a venue and team that truly care about your day, this is it.
