Adults Night Out! My…read moreBF and I came here towards the end of the summer for their "Funplex Afterdark". Think games, outdoor pools, food, alcohol and a DJ. The entry ticket purchased also gave access to bowling, bumper cars and several rides. Early arrival is suggested to avoid long lines. The food was very mid (carnival level), the drinks varied depending on which bar you got your drink from. The pool area was jammed pack.... Literally people standing on top of each other. We spent the majority of our time inside where we enjoyed ourselves the most. All in all we had a good time and would go back next summer.

It's a pretty good place if you manage your expectations…read more It's not some uber fancy theme park and it has a modest water park with some more older kids/adults themed stuff like a go kart track and bowling. The arcade is very big and there's a lot of options that would make little kids happy. It's a good place to bring younger kids to kill half a day in the arcades or other amenities, like for a morning and early afternoon run. Or just swing by for a couple of hours before lunch at the arcades and other little attractions there. I wouldn't say it's a more exciting way to spend the day than going to the attractions at American Dream or anything like that. But it's a great place for simple fun and enjoyment on a smaller scale if you don't feel like doing more than just keeping kids or teens occupied for a few hours.

He was very communicative--even with the 13 hour time difference, I was able to coordinate with him easily. I had my husband be taken out of the house three hours before the party to set up... the balloon arch was delivered right on time. The photographer showed up half an hour earlier than the party. The magician I wanted to hire was booked somewhere else and I only found out a few days before, but the balloon sculpture artist Mark recommended instead was an absolute hit with the kids as well as the adults, which was a pleasant surprise. He made my husband the most outrageous birthday hat. Right when he was supposed to be done, one of the kids tripped and popped his balloons and got upset, and he stayed longer to make him (and a few other stragglers) more balloons. Truly kind. The photographer David was also really so helpful, friendly, and on it! He came early and helped with some of the set up... he was attentive and also very nice to talk to. Very natural (sometimes it's awkward when a photographer's in your face taking pictures but it wasn't awkward at all). We got a USB full of pictures right after the party! Really, what a great experience. My husband had a really great time. Thank you Mark and company!

The service was very friendly and appreciated throughout the entire night. The cocktail hour was one of the better ones I attended. There was a raw bar, taco station, pasta station, sushi station, etc. My favorite items tried were the sliced beef and chicken in a waffle cone. The beef was cooked to a medium rare temperature and extremely flavorful. The chicken in a waffle cone was a great balance of sweet and spicy with a good amount of chicken in the cone. The sushi was decent at best, while the stuffed rigatoni was tasty too. The raw bar was a little underwhelming as I was not a fan of the raw oysters, but I did not try everything so maybe I just had a few poor ones. The first course of the night was the estate signature salad. It contained arugula, baby greens with julienne apples and an aged white wine vinaigrette. It was topped with caramelized walnuts and manchego cheese. It was a well put together salad. All the toppings complimented one another nicely especially the cheese and vinaigrette. For an entrée, I had the chateaubriand. It was roasted in a cabernet sauce and garnished with caramelized scallops. There was also a side of asparagus, carrots, and potatoes. The asparagus was fine, but the carrots were too hard. The potatoes were not too bad either, very creamy and packed with rosemary I believe. They actually asked for a temperature, which was unusual at a wedding. I asked for medium rare, and it came out a touch over, but not too big of a deal. It was a nice sized portion with just enough flavor. I also tried the salmon Oscar, which was topped with lump crabmeat and a cream sauce. The salmon and crabmeat were both too dry unfortunately. There needed to be more seasoning present as well. I also tried the chicken caprese, which was stuffed with mozzarella cheese and pesto served with roasted cherry tomatoes with vodka sauce. This was another solid tasting dish, great layers from the filing in the chicken. Finally, I also tried the spinach and ricotta stuffed eggplant with a tomato-basil sauce. This was another satisfying dish and was not too heavy like I thought it might be. This had great flavor. Will I go back? Yup.

They had the children play so many games right after each other including ones with a parachute and a toilet paper blower (yay!) that my kids slept like logs that evening.

Wanting to do something fun and interactive for our clients holiday party, I was looking for a…read morecooking class near their offices in NJ. Through a search and reviews, I came upon What's Cooking. I had a very good conversation with the owner, who assured me that the experience was "appropriate" for a corporate group and a holiday event. The cost was high, but I chalked that up to the interactive nature of the event. I was told this would indeed be an interactive experience and while we wouldn't necessarily cook the entire meal ourselves, we would certainly be cooking and interacting with the chef. I was shocked, disappointed, and embarrassed with the experience. First, we walked into what looked like a kids birthday venue, with a giant sign that read "Happy Birthday Layla" (this was a white board, so at the very least it could have been cleaned off, if not had our event name on it). There were picnic tables and plastic table cloths. No cooking stations. We were seated at the picnic tables, and at our place setting was a plastic bowl with two mushrooms in it. This was the extent of our "interactive cooking experience". We did not cook -- we chopped two mushrooms and later, a banana. Literally. The chef cooked in front of us on a burner and showed us how she made the items. We sat at picnic tables and were served on paper and plastic. The food itself was fine (Chicken Marsala, sauteed spinach, salad (bagged?), avocado with bacon and blue cheese with chips, banana foster) and the staff was lovely to deal with -- courteous, polite, informative. But this was a FAIL from my POV and only worth one star (generously) bc the experience I was sold and promised did not match with what we received.
