I went here for a wedding and reception and had a pretty good time. The place looks great, the dance floor could have maybe been a little bigger but for the most part it wasn't really an issue. The wedding ceremony was held out back and the space was pretty small, half of the guests had to stand in the back, but the ceremony was short so no one seemed to mind. There was an open bar with mixed drinks and bottled beer. They didn't have any pale ales or anything too nice, but I was happy with Yuengling. The bartenders were quick, and the rest of the staff was pretty good too, no real complaints. They did forget to set one of the spots at our table but when it was brought to their attention they immediately got another chair and set up a plate and silverware.
The food was just alright. For the horderves weren't really anything I liked, they had some shrimp and some mushrooms. They also had a cheese display and I definitely got down on that, and I liked the horseradish dip they had too. For the main meal I had the chicken caprese. The chicken was cooked good, not overdone at all and plenty moist, but the breading on it was kinda soggy and got lost in the mix a bit. The salad they brought out was good too, I dunno if the itallian dressing was made in house or not but I liked it. I didn't eat the green beans but the twice baked potato wasn't anything too special, seemed like it needed something extra. Speaking of something extra, the tables didn't have any salt or pepper shakers, which definitely would have made things a little better. The cake they had was really good, best I've had in a while, but I saw that it was brought in in a wegmans box, so it wasn't made in house.
Overall I'd rate this place a 3.5 out of 5. It was nice inside and I had a fun time but the food could have been a little better. The food was still better than the food I had at a wedding at the double tree a few years back, and the bartender there was lame. For a downtown catering venue this place is a lot better than the Double Tree. read more
