I had the pleasure of working with Abs Elegant Events to organize my baby shower and they did not…read moredisappoint! I had a vision for how I wanted everything to look and they surpassed my expectations. These pictures don't even do it justice! They really transformed the venue. I cried like a little baby once I walked in and saw everything and it takes a lot to get me emotional. They were very professional, pleasant, communicated throughout the process and took the stress of planning off my hands. I couldn't have picked a better team! They executed everything so efficiently and paid attention to detail that I have already hired them again for my wedding planning. If you need professionals and a team to plan your events who will take your ideas and bring them to life, this is the right company to hire! You won't regret it.

Stopped by this past Sunday to do what we often do, order something to drink and quick bite while…read moresitting at the bar. It's one of our favorite spots, second to the outdoor patio. Conversations with the staff and occasionally the customers seems to just flow naturally. Has a Cheers feel where familiar faces meets welcoming atmosphere. Sydney, server and bartender, recently introduced a new set of cocktails. Adventurous as I am, I had to try the Campfire (I think that's what it's called). Made with Scotch and a hand toasted marshmallow (see pic), it was smooth and smoky (though no smoke is involved), capturing the essence of a campfire and S'mores. Easily a new favorite. Awesome Sydney!!!!!! My wife wasn't too hungry, but I ordered the Chicago Chopped Cheese from the specials menu (see pic). Surprisingly good and didn't expected the style. Chef Mark is on a role lately, as I have tried all but one of the specials. Keep it going. Be back soon!

We took our grandkids last night (age 3 & 4) because we thought they would love bowling and the…read morearcade. They only get 3 stars (average) for the following reasons: 1 PRICE! 1 star. I know it was a Friday night but the "surge" pricing wasn't justified. The place was dead! The cost to bowl on the weekend is $12 per person PER GAME, plus $6 for shoes. They also give zero children's discounts. I don't think Lucky Strike understands the income of families around here, and while it's decent, this place far exceeds what they are comfortable spending, hence, the place was empty. 2. Food and drinks 4 stars. They use servers to order and bring your food to your lane, which is nice, but the tip just added to the cost. We got the traditional sampler platter for $37. It came with wings, chx strips, fried mozzarella, pretzel sticks and fries. It was wonderful and plentiful. Every single item was cooked perfectly and was very tasty. We got one kids chx strip and fries meal ($10) but the platter we got made it unnecessary, so it was overkill. Prices for cocktails were within range for the area ($15). The one disappointment with the cocktails was my margarita. They used a pre-made mix (yuck) and I couldn't taste the tequila; it was also overly sweet. I also love a salted rim but the server didn't ask and I forget to say request it. 3. Arcade. 5 stars for older kid and adult games, but 1 star for the little ones. There was almost nothing our grandkids could do. I found only one activity suitable for them. It would be great to have some space that little ones could have fun in. A jumping mat would be great, for starters. The place is crazy loud and chaotic but not unexpected for being a fun zone. Bathrooms were clean and well maintained. The overall decor and cleanliness was very good. We would love to go back but can't afford to spend $270 for 3 games of bowling for 4 people plus food & drinks. One and done for us, unfortunately.

Such a family fun environment!! The food is amazing as well! The bowling alleys are so clean!read more

For $30/hr, Algonquin's residents can rent the first floor of this building that's nestled on the…read morecorner of Algonquin Rd. & 31. I never even knew this was a possibility but stumbled upon it, thanks to the power of Google, when I was looking for a venue that would accommodate 50-ish people for my son's baptism reception lunch. This place definitely won't break the bank by any stretch of the imagination. The only downside is that it's not much to look at. The hall is nice and airy, 2 walls of windows let ample light stream in, and a wall of floor to ceiling mirrors reflect the light. The floors are wood, and the walls are cream, which provide a nice neutral palette for decorating without worrying about clashing. There's a tiny little kitchen in the back corner, complete with microwave and a full-sized refrigerator. Obviously they don't cater or anything, which is both a plus and a minus. They don't even have a coffee maker on hand, so be prepared to bring your own. What they do supply, or at least claim to, are 6-8 tables and 40-50 chairs. What we found when we arrived were 3 tables and about 20 chairs. We never did locate the rest of the tables and chairs, but we made due with what we had. This place isn't fancy by any stretch of the imagination, but if you're looking for a nice facility to hold a lunch or a get-together that isn't in your home, Algonquin's Historic Village Hall is a great option. We will definitely keep this place in mind for our next party.

I will say that it is not easy planning a wedding where everything is 'A La Carte'. Thankfully my Mom helped with a lot but I would highly recommend that most couples (who both work full time) probably want to have a wedding planner. The Brix is helpful with their suggestion list (we used a lot of the vendors on the list) but I will admit it was more overwhelming than I originally thought it would be to manage everything. Also Binnys and their delivery service was a MUCH cheaper option than the Brixs preferred partner. Taking back the extra alcohol was not too much extra work especially considering it saved us almost a grand compared to prestige.

Such a…read morebeautiful venue, very spacious inside, very reasonable pricing and everything was in pristine condition! (Picture perfect)! I believe booking was a breeze (according to my mother and sister) and the owner was incredibly helpful, friendly, answered all of their questions and checked in on us prior to when the event started and afterwards! I love how you're able to bring your own food and drinks (non alcoholic - but they do have a bar area that can be rented), and supply you with tables, chairs, tablecloths and black chair covers. This was such a beautiful experience and I know we will be renting this place in future for other events!

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.
