There's definitely a shortage of event venues if you're comparing to what's available in the city…read more And while we're lucky enough to have a city full of amazing venues nearby sometimes it's just easier to stick with something nearby. Hence why Loft 21 is such a popular option for bar mitzvahs and other big events. If you have a 12/13 year old kid going thru the mitzvah circuit chances are you'll end up here. The venue itself is owned by Jazmine at Hype Productions. I haven't rented out Loft 21, but have hired Hype twice and been thrilled with everyone I"ve worked with over there so I"m guessing this is so exception. Jazmine is very on top of everything, which is perfect for my type A personality. While I highly recommend Hype for event production you can bring in others to the space. The bar mitzvah we attended this past weekend had Tenny from Flo as their MC. The space can easily be transformed and seems to work with any theme. And for those who don't want to go crazy with decor it's a pretty venue on it's own. They have a nice area upstairs for cocktails. People tend to congregate near the bar which can make it crowded so I recommend putting a food station (or extra bar) in the area separated off so that people spread out just a bit. This area also overlooks the ballroom so at the end of the cocktail hour they do a big reveal by showing the room down below, which is cool. The acoustics in the space aren't great and my biggest complaint is that I can't hear anyway near me while I"m there. I can also barely hear any speeches when I'm in the space. However, it works great for music, montages and anything else you need.

They did find us another place that's more money than what we signed our contract for - and they expect us to pay the difference. They should pay the difference since it wasn't our fault that they promised us the venue would be ready to go in time for our September wedding (this has been going on since July). They just told us this past Sunday! And we found out that they are affiliated with the other venue that they found for us and it's much smaller to fit our 250 people wedding in.

Prices are pretty reasonable, with specials on Wednesday for pasta and Friday for fish fry. Cooking speed is a bit slow, so be aware if you're in a hurry to get in and out quickly. Food is hit and miss, depending on what you order. The classic burger had too thick of a patty with me and was overcooked enough where it wasn't really juicy. The nachos grade was large, with chicken that was quite overcooked though it had a flavorful char. It was accompanied by lettuce and tomato that could've been a bit fresher, jalapenos, and sour cream. On the other hand, the steak sandwich was seasoned nicely and slightly juicy and fairly tender. There was a strong pepper flavor and a little bit of char. The grilled chicken and bacon flatbread had a nice variety of textures with a pretty crisp cracker crust. The combination of chicken and bacon in this dish worked well together to create a nice savory taste. The fries were crisp and fairly meaty, a solid version of a slightly thicker cut fry. Overall, not a bad place to stop by if you're golfing or visiting places nearby. Hours can be erratic, about 11-5 on most days except Monday where there is no kitchen service, winter time where they may close early, and on specials nights where they open till 8 pm. You'll be able to enjoy a hot meal at a reasonable price and very relaxed atmosphere.

We had our wedding at The Arboretum Club in January - and everything was stellar. Most of my yelp…read morefriends know how picky I am.... and I know how weddings can be... so this says a lot. Even with the few small hiccups we had, nothing major, I wouldn't change much. Chris & co. were fabulous to work with. Quick to reply to inquiries, happy to try to help come up with alternate solutions when what we had envisioned wasn't do-able (due to state law.) Everyone at our wedding has commented on how FANTASTIC the food was. From the appetizers through to cake (provided by an off-site contracted vendor whom I will review separately) everything was delicious. It's hard to say that about wedding food sometimes! The Arboretum did the room set-up for us, because there was a brunch wedding the same day as our 6pm start wedding. It wouldn't have been better if I did it myself. Everything was laid out as I had requested and I had no reason to worry about things not being correct (we provided centerpieces, escort cards, decor, cake topper, lighting, you name it.) Having the private brides room was a life-saver. Even just to have a place to sit and have a quiet moment by myself. My only hiccups were that we had discussed having our cocktail hour in the main foyer dining area. This was sold to us at the very first meeting, that we had the entire venue, and this is where cocktails would be - they would take the tables away and put in some high-boys. This did not happen. When I asked about it, I was told it wasn't in our contract. So, lesson learned to me, get everything in writing. The only other thing was that scheduling the tasting was a little strange. I asked many times from the time we signed our contract (late winter 2016) through spring, summer, and fall, when our tasting would be. I was told 2 months ahead of time. We were scheduled for October 2016, which was fine, until at the tasting when we told them how quickly our event was coming up, a few of the employees looked at each other as if we should've had our tasting far sooner (oh, your wedding is in January? this is late October...) Small hiccups to say the least, and really due to my own lack of contract knowledge. Arboretum Club comes VERY highly recommended.

We ordered a Coke and Frappe (Greek Iced Coffee). The frappe was mediocre. It wasn't strong with the coffee being muted. Most frappe I've had at Greek restaurants are normally strong and coffee first. Hubs ordered the Hangry Man burger. He said it was ok, a burger. Nothing extra wow, but good. The waffle fries were the true winner and absolutely delicious! I ordered the make your own omelette with mushrooms, spinach, broccoli, corned beef hash, and Monterey Jack cheese. It was light, fluffy, and full of ingredients. The pancakes had a nice chew, fluffy, and had a hint of sweetness to it. Overall, it was a good meal. Nothing extra wow, except for our friendly server, and the food is good! It's a little one the pricey side, but so is everything these days. Definitely try Brunch Factory.

The menu had lots of options from Mexican brunch items to French toast to skillets and much more. I got the brunch factory pie which was filled with bacon and really hefty. Also tried the morning fuel juice that woke me right up with the turmeric and carrots. The banana foster french toast was super sweet. We ended up having to take some of it home because we couldn't finish it from how sweet the caramel was. There were only 2 stalls for the bathroom and with how large the restaurant is, it resulted in a line with a little bit of a wait. For your birthday they send you $5 to spend so definitely sign up for their rewards program when you pay at their tablet. Lots of parking around the restaurant. Overall a decent brunch place but the food is just ok.

Dear Jill, Thank you…read moreso much for allowing Kita to host her Big Five oh!! At Loft on Lake! Your customer service was absolutely unmatched--you were incredibly accommodating and thoughtful every step of the way. The venue was stunning, and we truly appreciated your helpfulness and suggestions throughout the planning process. You made both Kita and me feel so welcome. We especially loved the open-concept space, which gave us the freedom to transform it and get creative in ways that made the celebration truly special. Words can't fully express our gratitude! It was a 10 out of 10 experience, and we will absolutely recommend Loft on Lake to others and continue to spread the word. With love and appreciation, Que & Kita

I usually don't leave negative reviews, but this experience honestly didn't sit right with me…read more Upon arrival, the front desk staff made us feel judged. We were dressed in sweats and cozy clothes (we're from California and not used to the cold), while others around us were dressed more formally. I understand this is considered a "nicer" hotel, but that shouldn't affect how guests are treated. What really stood out was when I asked a simple question about how long it takes to get the deposit back on a credit card. One of the front desk employees jumped in and said it depends on the card, usually 7-14 days--but then specifically mentioned that if it's a Cash App card, it would "definitely" take 14 days. The way it was said felt very assumptive and unprofessional. I work in sales/finance, so that comment didn't sit right with me. When I clarified that we were using Navy Federal, his tone immediately changed and became much more respectful. That shift alone was very telling. As for the room itself, it did not meet expectations for a hotel that presents itself as high-end. * All four cups in the room were dirty with visible residue and streaks * The bedding had multiple stains, some immediately visible and others noticeable under lighting * The couch had strange stains on it as well * When we pulled out the sofa bed, there was someone else's old medicine wrapper underneath, which made it very clear the room was not properly cleaned * One of the lamps was broken * The sink/faucet had heavy buildup and grime that looked unsanitary (as shown in the photos) The level of cleanliness was honestly unacceptable. I didn't complain during the stay since it was only one night, but it's something future guests should be aware of. The only positives were how quick check-in was and how easy it was to book (we booked through Airbnb, which may also have contributed to how we were perceived). Overall, if you're staying here: * Don't expect equal treatment based on appearance * Check EVERYTHING in your room before using it Definitely not the experience I expected from a place that markets itself as high-end.

They sent a message through a random messaging service and when we got There after driving five hours, rather than being met with an apologetic employee.

When we asked what where are we supposed to say his response was I don't know, but it's not here. So now we're stuck, probably sleeping in a car because Marriott not only decided to cancel rooms last minute, but at the same time rather than being a helpful part of the solution, they had an attitude and laughed.... They could be giving out $100 bills out and I would never walk in this place again.
