They've done an amazing job giving new life to this historic building and renovating everything to still preserve the original charm but adding the modern touches too. They have a great spot to eat right on the Rock river in the warm months. Would highly recommend grabbing a house brewed beer and dinner and enjoy the sunset. I will say their prices are a little high but they do have good food and a fun atmosphere. They also have a large indoor bar and dinner space as well, if you're here in the colder months or want some A/C. Attending weddings and large events, we've also had great experiences here. We bring friends from out of town here to experience a taste of Rockford. Glad it's here!

Everyone at the reception commented how delicious the food was. Their baked chicken and beef was amazing. The au gratin potatoes are to die for. The green bean casserole was the best I have ever had. I ordered haluski, a Polish/Ukrainian dish and they were the best I ever had. John was so nice and accommodating and worked with me and all my requests. If you are looking to cater a banquet, family reunion, wedding reception, etc., please consider Penguin Foods. You will not be disappointed, but rather delighted with every aspect of their service! I would give them six out of five stars if I could.

The overall experience was good and we'll definitely be back!

When she told them we had been waiting so long they said they lost our order and couldn't put ours ahead of later orders. When it finally did come it was mostly cold food, pasta sauce was too spicy to eat, 2 out of 4 jumbo shrimp were burned, so bad they said we could have it for free so we took it. At a certain point they opened all the windows and doors because of the smoke from the kitchen. My eyes were pricking from the smoke. I hope they improve but I won't be going again soon. They had breakfast this morning at the Verdi which we usually go to but not this time. Too bad.

The space itself is relaxing and would be a great spot to hang out, but the wine didn't quite match the atmosphere. The options I tried were fine, just not memorable for the price point. The food choices were also pretty limited, and since you can't bring your own snacks, it felt a little restricting. Nothing was terrible, but nothing really stood out either. It's a nice place to sit and enjoy the view for a bit, though I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to come back.

The light fixtures are beautiful and it's a great example of how rustic farmhouse is done well. There are plenty of areas to take photos - water features, hallways, anywhere in the pavilion and outside. It's stunning! Service was very quick, maybe a little too quick for my liking but it's fine. You start your dinner with a salad. I thought it was delicious - I was worried that it was going to be soggy since it comes dressed however it was great and not soggy at all. My fiancé and I tried the filet mignon and bacon wrapped chicken for our entrees. Both were very good and prepared well. For sides there were seasonal vegetables. The drinks here are made strong, tip your bartender - they do a great job!

However, for the amount of money we paid, the level of organization and communication from the staff was not what we expected. Throughout the planning process, we were sent incorrect invoices numerous times. One invoice was $8,000 more than what we actually owed, and I had to catch and correct the mistake. Having to repeatedly double-check invoices created unnecessary stress during an already expensive and stressful planning process. Our rehearsal was also not very organized. The staff was not particularly directive about where people should stand, how things would flow, or exactly what we were supposed to be practicing. A lot of the direction felt vague, and we left the rehearsal still feeling unsure about how the ceremony was actually going to run. Unfortunately, that lack of communication continued on our wedding day. Our event coordinator came in that morning and asked me how the day was going to go. I asked if she had spoken with the coordinator who had conducted our rehearsal, and she said she had not. She then questioned why the rehearsal coordinator had us practice walking a certain way if we were not doing a first look. At that point, I was already extremely overwhelmed, and one of my bridesmaids had to step in and communicate with the coordinator because I was close to having a nervous breakdown. There were also several last-minute questions that should have already been handled. About 15 minutes before our ceremony, I received a message asking who was going to finish putting the glasses on our champagne wall, even though it had previously been discussed that the venue staff would be taking care of this. When it was time to line up for the ceremony, there was also confusion about where everyone was supposed to go. We ended up getting behind the tree line and walking through the apple trees, to the point where my now-husband almost saw me before the ceremony. Our event coordinator also asked multiple times where different people were supposed to go, which was concerning because these details should have already been coordinated. I want to emphasize that the venue itself is beautiful, and we genuinely enjoyed our wedding and the memories we made there. Our issue was not with the space -- it was with the level of communication, organization, and coordination leading up to and during the ceremony. For such a significant investment, we expected the staff to be more prepared, communicate with one another, and take more of the logistical stress off of us rather than adding to it. Unfortunately, much of the coordination fell back on us and our wedding party, which is not what we expected when paying for a professional wedding venue. I don't regret having our wedding there because the day itself was special and beautiful, but based on our experience, the service and coordination could have been significantly better.
