The food was good, chicken and bacon wrapped filet, veggie and potato was my meal. Drinks were poured right all night long too. When we arrived they had cocktail hour complete with hot and cold appetizers. The cocktail room was perfect. There was even a small patio. Wonderful place to celebrate the union of my son's long time friend and for my son to give the best mans speech. I'll never forget it.

The place is expansive and complete with a riser stage; it is about the size of two full size basketball courts. I felt is was better for the reception than the wedding, where the seating can be split into sides, opening up a large dance floor. For the wedding though intimacy was lost in the space, and some were forced to witness the I Do-s from a hard angle, but it wasn't too bad. The place has a nice PA system for music, two LCD screens, and twin golden chandeliers adding class to the environs. The bar sits out in the lobby. Not sure if UNOH supplies the bar tenders, but they did a fantastic job keeping the line moving. I would know, I was out there a lot. I needed to drink. No way am I so old to have a hitched niece! I recommend for any events calling for lots of space.

I went about a month ago to the Veteran's Memorial Civic & Convention Center with my family to see…read morethe Lima Symphony Orchestra play. Overall, i think its a great place to watch a play, symphony or other cultural event but it does have some room for improvement. First things first, lets talk about location. Its located in Lima and its within driving distance to a lot of different restaurants. It is also across the street from Old City Prime, which is an amazing restaurant that has its own live entertainment. A great date spot. So it is in a great location. In regards to accessibility and parking, well this can use some work. It does have a parking lot rather close by for $5... which is very reasonable. It lacks though, valet parking. Sometimes, you just don't want to park yourself and having that would be a great convenience. Moreover, older folks who may have mobility issues would definitely use it. My mother does have those problems and it was a little far for her from the parking lot. Moreover, it was a bit hard for her to enter the building as they required several steps up. Concessions... thank goodness this place sells alcohol. For some reason this isn't a normal thing for theaters in the area... no idea why. Kudos to this place for selling it. They sell wine, liquor and beer. For those forgoing adult beverages they sell Pepsi products. The place itself has comfortable seating and helpful staff to help you find your seat. One thing to keep in mind, the closer you sit to the front, the harder it will be for you to see all the members of the orchestra. Thats not a problem Ive ever had in other venues, so that is a negative. All in all, it is a great place to go and have some fun. Certainly enjoyed myself that night.

The selection is small, just a few domestic beers, a handful of wines, and whatever liquor you may want. There are supposedly some snacks, not sure what they are...we don't need them; we just had some some great local grub. Best venue parking and accessibility both coming and going. Doors opened right at 6:30 and show at 7:30 pm. Parked right out front for free....AWESOME!! After the show was just as easy and fast. We walked down the stairs, stopped at the bathroom, and then right out the front door... no issues. Will definitely be back if there is a good show...it's less than two hours from home.

Bowling, arcade, VR, restaurant, bumper cars and of course, a bar all under one roof, made for a great night with some new friends. The selection of arcade games was smaller than I'd expected but I found a few to play and ended up winning big on the ticket claws. The redemption counter had lots of fun items at reasonable ticket levels too, so I got a bunch of great toys to bring back to my kiddos. The bar was nicely stocked with a decent selection of beer and spirits. I settled on some Old No. 7 neat which did the trick. They also have nice party rooms here and our event had a buffet featuring a selection of their pizzas, a nacho bar, and what seemed to be hand breaded Midwest chicken chunks! Everything was tasty and the staff kept it well stocked too! I wish I hadn't spent so much time hanging in the bar (ok no I don't) but I missed out on experiencing everything else this place had to offer except the food and the arcade games. Great little find in Lima and no surprise why the local community likes hanging here!

It is a comfortable venue. Plenty of room in the seats and room apart from the people in front and behind you. The ushers are friendly. If it has any flaw is that the acoustics could be better. You can tell it's a problem as they have these temporary panels behind the stage whenever the symphony plays. Still, it is a great venue.
