A boulevardier, just because.
Bill Z.

I.Love.This.Place. As you walk in, it is immediately obvious that the front is an excellent spot for performances, and the acoustics are going to be impressive. But it was empty and rather quiet the night I visited, which made my visit to the bar area in back even more enjoyable, as I got to spend quality time talking to the owners and bartender. You have a variety of seating options - tables, a lounge area, and of course at the bar. The featured cocktails are somewhat unique with interesting combinations of ingredients and complex finishes, and they likewise enjoy crafting a cocktail for you. I would definitely want to bring friends here and could easily stay here for an entire evening.

Stage set for Allmond Brothers Tribute Band.  "Peacheaters".

Friendly comfortable surprisingly cool venue. 1900's church renovated into an amazing event venue.

Awesome venue! Large enough to get down but small enough to have a clear view of the stage with great acoustics! Super friendly staff, great bar with tasty drinks (Peachy Keen was sooo good!), clean bathrooms with plenty of stalls, nice and cool A/C and did I mention the staff ;-) ??! They really know how to do things right here. Can't wait to go back! Highly recommend!!!!

This is only a review of the grounds, I didn't see the inside of the hotel. Very pretty, very quiet…read moreexcept for the lone groundskeeper outside. Everything was well groomed and taken care of.

We booked a small 15 person wedding luncheon last weekend and received horrible service from the function manager as well as management. Do not book a function there. My meal was rancid but I didn't want to embarrass anyone by saying that at the table. When I called to tell them the manager said I was lying because that's her favorite meal. The stuffing smelled and tasted like it was from last thanksgiving. I noticed many people just pushing their food around on the main entree. She said they would have only refunded the money if I spoke up at the time in front of everyone. But that's the kind of class these people have. Also, very high room rental rate which they lie about on the phone and tell you it is just a deposit to hold the room and will be refunded later on your bill so long as you show up for the event. Then after they get the payment they send an email with a link that says it will not be refunded whether you show up or not. That it's not actually a deposit to hold the room. That it's a room rental fee. Non refundable. Then they insinuate that you should tip on the meal AND the room rental fee that they lie to people about. A shame because they've tarnished a long held good reputation of a charming historic location by employing highly unethical people who lie.

We asked if the entrees came with rice and she answered and were about to place our order and she walks away to attend to someone else? Would have taken less than 30 seconds and there wasn't anything emergent that needed tending to. Comes back, takes the order (hunan crispy fish and shrimp with ginger and scallion) and the dishes are somehow out in 5-10 minutes. She practically throws the shrimp and side of rice on the table and walks away. Doesn't ask if we need anything else (we wanted chili oil). Another server brings the fish dish and asks if we need anything who we then inform about our request. The original one then comes by and throws the sauce on the table again. The shrimp dish was heavy in red onions and barely had ginger or scallion. The sauce tasted like soy sauce and a starch slurry with nothing else added and it was way too salty. The fish was weirder. It had a breading on it instead of a cornstarch/potato starch batter. The sauce also did not taste like oyster sauce and it tasted like the sauce sautéed with veggies was added at the end so nothing melded together.with the fish. The sauce was overly sweet. Some customers left the table next to us and she sat down in their empty seats and starts looking at her Apple watch. She never once filled up our waters but did for the other customers and did ask if they needed anything else and gingerly places dishes on their table. Felt extremely racist. Avoid this place. Acting like a high school student forced to work a summer job and begrudgingly doing so except she was much older, immature, at best rude, and at worst, racist.

We started with a few seafood towers, bacon wrapped scallops and some salads for everyone. Most of us ordered a steak as that's what this place is known for. The freshness of the food and how it was prepared was delicious. They had a wonderful cocktail menu along with a wonderful wine menu as well. The service was incredible and the food was delicious. This is a wonderful and classy place to come for a great dining experience with delicious food.

Bad service. Over cooked steaks. Rude, misogynist management…read more Until last weekend, It had been a while since I visited the Coach Grill, and now I won't be back. When I go out to a high end steak house, I expect my steak to be cooked as ordered to perfection, and the service to be excellent. I am sad to say this was not the case. Our cocktails and appetizers were adequate, but unimaginative. For dinner, my friend and I each ordered Westholm Wagyu NY Strip ( priced at over $100 each) because we were told they were the best steak on the menu and we wanted to treat ourselves. I ordered mine rare, and my friend ordered his medium. Our other friend got the lamb, which was fine. When our steaks arrived mine was Medium to Medium-well, and his was clearly on the very dead side of well done. When we complained to our waiter he brought over the manager - and then things went really sideways. the manager started by giving us attitude but finally had to concede that my friend's steak was completely over cooked. When I said my steak was over cooked too, he became rude and angry, told me he was already taking my friend's steak off our bill and he wasn't gong to discuss it with me. When I insisted I had ordered my steak rare, he said " I was in the kitchen and watched your steak come out of the oven at a perfect 145º, so stop trying to push it Lady." I was so shocked by his response I didn't argue. I know a rare steak is cooked to 125º - 130º at most. It left me wondering if he treats all women like that.
