A family friend said they went recently and had a good experience, so we figured we'd give them another try. I ordered the Pasta Alla Stella with no tomato. I liked the dish. The chicken sausage tasted more like sausage but since I like sausage, it was all good. My wife opted for a casesar salad and penne with vodka sauce and enjoyed it. We would try this place again.

Beautiful hotel, lovely staff, the privacy of the rooms supreme. I've worked in hotels for ten…read moreyears, my only complaint is the balconies. They're not functional. They have sharp floors that are grated. We stayed while it rained and made sure we were on the 3rd floor for coverage, but it doesn't matter. The rain comes through, we just wanted to sit and have coffee. There's a light you cannot turn off, and the heating/cooling system is on every balcony so even if you turn tryouts off you hear everyone else's. You might as well have no balcony. But it's still worth the visit. Such a great hotel but the balcony's are awful. And no privacy, can see the people above you and below you. It's honestly just for show. Other than that I'd stay again and not get a balcony room. I think it's to deter smoking but it's not even cozy, it's sharp, and not private. Great view but there was a wedding so saw everyone on the balconies and can hear and see everyone, they need to be designed to be functional not for show.

Check in this time was smooth. Got up to my room and simply wanted to chill some water - fridge…read morewas on but warm. Called down to ask how to turn it on so it gets cold, said they would have to find out, or call an engineer, and they promptly hung up on me.

Can't believe it's been so long since I've reviewed Tiff's. I live in the neighborhood and have…read moreprobably eaten here upwards of 100 times. Why I love Tiff's: + It's always reliable. Classic and easy to please food like wings, burgers, dillas, sandwiches. My new fave is the balsamic veggie quesadilla. It's all great. + Full bar and lots of beers and tap + Fast and friendly service + Always plenty of seating, both indoors and out. The outdoor patio is really nice too. + My top reason - so good for kids. Kid's menu portions are large and prices are fair. My kids are always happy with the food here. We recently came in on a Sunday which is kids eat free day, and they also have a balloon artist which is cute. + A full bar with lots of TVs and an upstairs comedy club. Overall this is a wonderful spot to have in the neighborhood, and we're regulars and huge fans.

Whether I'm working or attending a function, the Manor has always met my expectations. With experience at more than a hundred events, I can confidently say that you can't go wrong with Birchwood Manor. I'm heading there today!

We fell in love with Birchwood Manor the first time we visited 2 years ago as the first person we…read moremet with was Michael Marino, who was so warm and welcoming from the beginning. Since then, we've worked with Michael on planning our wedding and he was so great to work with. He was easy to communicate with, super energetic and full of positive energy throughout the planning, and very informative. We wanted our dogs in the ceremony a lower guest minimum for fear that less people at the time would attend due to covid and Michael quickly accommodated our requests, no questions asked! Our wedding was 10/14/23 and Farrell was our maitre'd. After getting home, my matron of honor, brother in law and mom had nothing but AMAZING things to say about Farrell. According to my mom, Farrell saw my grandpa had trouble with his boutonniere and she, without us asking, started helping him and all the other groomsmen clip them on. She worked with my husband on getting a little last-minute seating mishap resolved (we had some unplanned guests who had initially rsvp'd no and showed up). She was so good with children as our flower girl and flower boy/ring bearer were 4 and 7 and she interacted with them and helped show them what to do at the ceremony. Our day of coordinator unfortunately had an emergency and was not there part of the wedding but Farrell really took over and checked in on us constantly and took charge of the day. My matron of honor said Farrell was so nice and reliable and amazing at her job. Going back to the wedding, our guests couldn't stop talking about how gorgeous the venue was, down to the chandeliers in the ballroom. Our wedding was unfortunately outdoors but Birchwood was so accommodating with allowing us to use the Grand Ballroom for the ceremony as the reception was already set up elsewhere. We upgraded the cocktail hour to deluxe and with both my husband and I being from Chinese families with high expectations in regards to seafood, the lobster tails were gone instantly as our guests loved them so much. People raved about how good the cocktail hour was, including the carving station and shrimp scampi station. The ice sculpture was a beautiful and elegant touch. All in all, we and our guests had nothing but an amazing time at Birchwood. We have nothing but positive experiences through our 2 years of wedding planning. Thank you Michael and Farrell and Birchwood Manor for helping us plan our wedding and make our wedding day visions really come to life!

Upon entering, everyone is greeted with a complimentary glass of Raspberry Italian Spumante . Then as you walk around there's a wall with fresh donuts hanging up and you can take as many as you like. Everyone is seated in a very large ballroom. The Meadow Wood Manor has been completely redecorated. The decor is beautiful with lovely chandeliers and neutral colors all around. They use soft blue and purple lighting to give the hall and the ballroom an elegant glow. The tables in the ballroom are a decent size. The room is very large so you're not squeezed in like sardines. It was very comfortable sitting at the large round table. I noticed the Meadow Wood Manor made accommodations for a man in a wheelchair who sat directly across from our table. He was wheeled right up to the table and the chair was removed, it was easy peasy. The staff was truly wonderful. We had not one but two waiters. Our drink order was immediately taken. I was asked if I ever ate there before. Our waiter explained to our table about the buffet. I got up and walked down the hall to another very large room where all the food was strategically placed. They even had the kids food placed lower so they could reach it with supervision. The first thing I saw was the breakfast items. There was an OMELETTE STATION-Omelettes made to order with toppings. BRUNCH STATION- Frittatas, Stuffed French Toasts, Potatoes, Sausage, and Bacon etc.Then I moved on to the SEAFOOD STATION-Shrimp Cocktail Boat. The Raw Clams, Mussels, and Raw Oysters,and Stone Crabs.Oven roasted Atlantic Salmon, Grilled Octopus, Shrimp and Roasted Tomato Salad, Mediterranean Seafood Salad. PASTA STATION- Mushroom filled Ravioli, Rigatoni Primavera, Chicken Francaise Romesco, Eggplant Rollatini, Italian assorted Meats, Fresh Mozzarella with Basil and Sun Dried Tomatoes, Field Green Salad. CHEF CARVING STATION- Baby Arugula Salad, Classic Caesar Salad, Chilled Vegetable Salad, Prime Rib, Roasted Turkey Breast, Mashed Potato Bar, Sea Salt Green Beans and Spring Asparagus. ASIAN STATION- Pan Noodle Salad, Far East Vegetable LoMein, Generals Chicken, Raw Seared Tuna, Beef Stir fry, Seafood Wok. Assorted Dim Sum. KIDS BUFFET- Chicken Fingers, Fries, MAC n Cheese, Franks in a Blanket, Pizza Bagels. DESSERT STATION- Variety of Cakes, Tarts, Cookies, Finger Desserts and Pastries Chocolate Croissant Bread Pudding with Crème Anglais Hand Dipped Chocolate Covered Strawberries Chef's Sugar Free Dessert Flourless Chocolate Cake Ice Cream Novelties and Cup Cakes Fresh Berry Bar Whipped Cream and Crème Anglais Cappuccino By Request BEVERAGES INCLUDED-Coors Light * Sam Adams Champagne * Mimosas * Cabernet Sauvignon * Merlot Pinot Grigio * Chardonnay * White Zinfandel * Bloody Marys * Screwdrivers Coke * Diet Coke * Sprite * Iced Tea Apple, Cranberry or Orange Juice Milk and Chocolate Milk Coffee & Tea The food was delicious!

Just went to a wedding there and the venue was absolutely beautiful. They originally planned for an…read moreoutdoor ceremony but it rained, the indoor space was fortunately also stunning. The food was just fine, but we never expect wedding food to be the best meal of your life. Dinner service was wonderful and all the people assigned to assist the bridal party were great. My one critique, and I wonder if anyone else feels the same, but I have a strong suspicion that they water down their drinks? The "champagne" that's provided throughout the night is only 5%, but I've had several other mixed drinks throughout the night and never once felt any sort of buzz. Upon reflection, the amount I drank I should've really been at minimum very tipsy. My husband felt the same. No one at the party seemed visibility drunk and yet everyone had a drink in their hand most of the night. Not that we go to weddings to get hammered, but the family is paying for open bar and this would mean they're getting ripped off, yes? The dance floor was also a bit lackluster and some liquid courage would've helped I'm sure. I guess just keep this in mind when looking at this place for your venue!

I'm rounding up by a half star at least to demonstrate my patriotism. This is of course a…read moregovernment/ military armory that I believe is still used for that purpose(?) but is also rented out as an event space. I was here for a training class that involved the use of several automobiles. The main hanger is large enough to accommodate many many more than were actually in use. I can see how this might be a good spot for beer or wine events, or even craft or other vendor driven gatherings. I even liked seeing the military displays and notices. Our class was not large and unfortunately this large space needed even larger heating units to warm it up, noisy ones at that. It was a balancing act to run them just enough to keep from being chilly but still be able to hear the speakers. My biggest criticism would be the men's bathroom conditions. As the other reviewer noted, they are not suitable for large crowds without additional port a potties. Since our crowd was not large this was not an issue, but cleanliness certainly was. For some reason all of the urinals were removed. No matter, plenty of stalls. But these were in desperate need of a power washing, or better yet maybe a sandblasting. This may be the first time I've used this word in a review, but the condition was deplorable. Now that I think about it, maybe this space is not used in its former military purpose. I sure hope not, our troops deserve better, even if only part time.

I do not recommend this venue…read more We had a terrible experience with the manager. He spoke to us disrespectfully throughout the entire event, used inappropriate language, and treated our family with complete disrespect. What should have been a beautiful and unforgettable day for our little cousin's quinceañera turned into a nightmare because of the way we were treated. We are a Hispanic family, and sadly, we felt we were treated differently. Even our 15-year-old cousin, on one of the most special days of her life, was yelled at by the manager. No young girl should ever have to experience that on her quinceañera. The venue itself is nice, but customer service is just as important. Because of the way we were treated, I cannot recommend this place. I sincerely hope they improve the way they treat their guests so that no other family has to go through what we experienced.
