    611 Gathering Place

    611 Gathering Place

    (3 reviews)

    We recently held an event for around 70 people, and this venue was absolutely perfect…read more The vintage décor is beautiful, and sparked lots of conversation. I was just amazed with the attention to detail. Serving dishes, glass wear, full kitchen, sound system, two large screen televisions, and even games for the kiddos were all provided. The owner has thought of everything you might need, and she is always very quick to respond with answers to any questions you may have. On top of all of that, the price is very reasonable, and the whole place was spotless. Very highly recommend!

    Recently attended a baby shower hosted at 611 Gathering Place. Plenty of street parking nearby and…read morevery easy to get to on Harrison Ave. We loved the eclectic vintage furniture and decor that really transform this space and make it stand apart from other "party room" type spaces. There was ample tables and counter spaces to serve food and host activities. Our primary complaint was the AC. If the AC was running, we couldn't tell. We didn't really have hot food aside from 1 crockpot, but with about 40 people in the space, it was quite warm inside. There are curtains that go partway across the storefront windows, but they only provide some shade and do not assist in keeping the room cool. Lighting may need to be improved because it would be a bit dark without the natural sunlight, but thicker curtains to help block the afternoon sun would be an improvement!

    Hidden Valley Orchards has always been one of my favorite farms to visit it for. They have the best…read moreapple cider donuts and apple fritters. My husband and I have been going every year for seven years or so. We just had our first baby and we're excited to take him for the first time, so we stopped in the other day. We noticed everything was majorly re-organized and confusing-- not just because it was different than we knew it to be before, but because there were cash registers everywhere and we learned the hard way that not all the cash registers can check out every item you want to buy, so you have to try to find which cash register can check you out. We learned that the changes were due to new management. However, they clearly kept the same apple fritter recipe, because it was just as delicious as I remember. The cider donuts are bigger, but I say better than past years? You get to sample them before you buy them. They are much bigger than anticipated. We also got a "frosty cow", which is apple cider/with vanilla soft serve. 100/10 recommend. I have been on the hunt this fall for a really good cider as I have found most likely to be too sweet and prefer a balance of sweet and tart. The cider they serve is great! I believe it is Wesler brand? When we went outside, we saw a massive amount of construction as they have put up a ton of kid activities. While they have clearly worked hard to make them look nice and establish some branding, it is definitely very different than in past years when you were able to just look out over the beautiful Orchard and pumpkin patch. I always loved this place above others because it hadn't turned into one giant play yard.... There used to be some really great food options in the main building, but now that spot just serves sweet treats. The building next-door has pizza, which we didn't try. And then way down in the play yard, there is a food truck type stand, selling chicken tenders, burgers, and fries. We got a classic chicken sandwich and fries for $14. It was a good value. The sandwich didn't look terribly exciting, but I was pleasantly surprised when I bit into it. They clearly toast the bun or something because it gave a lot of flavor to the sandwich. The waffle fries were pretty normal seasoned waffle fries. While I did enjoy them, and can't believe I was saying this, they gave us too much. We saw tons of fries in the trashcan, indicating others thought the same. I can definitely appreciate good value for my money, but I can see them actually losing some money here. I am a big leftovers person, so I took mine home and ate them for dinner! We did get some good news that they planted over 2000 apple trees and are planning to really bring back their apple productions that they can make their own cider there. Curious to see what it will all look like next year!

    There's pluses and minuses to this place. One of the…read morebiggest minuses I've experienced in my visits is me constantly going "does anyone work here??" Want to purchase from the gift shop? Not an employee in sight. The food and bar always seem to be closed. Can't even find where to purchase their famous doughnuts. They built the huge play area for children which is great! But please don't advertise all your food and drink options if it's never going to be open or an employee around to check you out. Nothing like your toddler melting down because they want a juice and you can't find a way to pay for it. I love the baby animals and all the kids activities but until they figure out how to properly run this place I probably won't come back.
