Yesterday I was invited to a friend's house for Christmas and they had ordered Prime Rib from Tom's…read moreCountry Place. I was ready to be underwhelmed and enjoy what I'm sure was to be a non-descript, tasteless, but quality dinner. Boy was I wrong. It was sincerely a stunning, stunning meal. The prime rib was cooked perfectly and was extremely tasty. The beef was served with au jus and horseradish. It was really a quality cut of beef and very filling, not grissely or stringy, but a very well cut piece of meat perfectly cooked for everyone who liked it from medium rare to medium. The sides were incredible. Not a huge mac and cheese fan, but this was truly exceptional mac and cheese. Very "cheesy" and tasty, not just your average Velveeta paste. The mashed potatoes were exceptional, and I could have eaten so much more. One doesn't normally think of pick up food as exceptionally delicious or remarkable in quality, but this meal from Tom's certainly was!

I planned my wedding in about a month and a half and The Clifton Barn pulled it off flawlessly. Comparatively to other venues, it's in the middle ground as far as pricing, however they do not charge a facility or staffing fee, (almost) everything is built in, so that's definitely a bonus. \ We had our wedding in late November, but a spring/summer/fall wedding can be held outdoors on their beautiful patio with a really cool fire pit. (we had our ceremony inside in front of the fire place and it was great) They have a really cool lounge loft that we did our first looks in and those pictures were my favorites. We had 60 for dinner, I'm sure you could go higher, but it was a very comfortable number for us especially since using the patio as part of the space wasn't really an option. The dinner was awesome, it is owned by the same owner as Strip next door, and I highly recommend the steak. It's also nice because Old Avon Village has two restaurants for rehearsal dinners and lots of parking and photography options.

Just make sure everything is the way you want it and be prepared to do extra work to pick up her slack. However the food is great. I think it's chef Erik? He was wonderful. The ambiance is beautiful.

I even asked about the kids policy and was told that does not exist, unfortunately the clients ask for things and tell their guests and all they can do is make the Bride/Groom wishes happen and sometimes they get the sword for that which makes total sense. Anything I asked for they made happen. I even asked for them to get every out out because we wanted to do a last dance all alone and she made it happen. From the Prospective of someone who is in the industry, and as a Stressed out bride I don't know if I could have done it without Jessica, Her sister and her daughter. Now for the Food? Amazing. Everything was seasoned and the guests raved its the best they ever had. The customization was top tier. This place is a hidden gem and trust me go for it you wont be disappointed. The prices are extremely fair and the service is more than I expected. Thank you guys for such an amazing process. I hope I get to see you and eat some of that Pulled Pork again!

From the perfectly grilled steaks to the potatoes, green beans, and desserts, everything was firing on all cylinders. But then there were the baked beans, and I'm not exaggerating when I say they changed my life! Every baked bean recipe I eat from this point forward will forever be compared to this dish. Were they a side dish? A dessert? An entire meal all by themselves?! I dare say they checked all three boxes! Between the slices of locally sourced sausage, bacon, peaches, and that tangy sauce with just the perfect amount of heat, every bite was an incredible balance of sweet, savory, smoky, and spicy. It was a flavor bomb that literally had me thinking about those beans all weekend! The entire meal was a perfect representation of what farm-to-table food should look and taste like--fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and absolutely delicious. Cat and her amazing team knocked it out of the park. To simply say that I "highly recommend" Whole Hogg Custom Catering doesn't do them justice. Do yourself and your guests a favor and have Whole Hogg cater your next event. And whatever you do... GET THE BAKED BEANS!

I co-hosted a wedding shower at this venue on August 14th. Without the assistance of family,…read morefriends, and the bridesmaids, it would have been an unmitigated disaster. We booked the place at least three months earlier after meeting with then manager, Shannon. We were promised everything would be done: setup, linens on the table, and plates and silverware for 60 people. We ordered three sandwiches: chicken salad sandwich, vegetarian sandwich, and a turkey sandwich. Accompanying that was to be fruit salad and a green salad. Shower was to start at 12 noon and we made arrangements to come in at 10:30 a.m. to decorate and set out the cake and desserts. The above was confirmed with new manager "Mitch" on August 3rd (at an in person meeting) and on August 12th (during a telephone call). We also advised him that we would be paying in cash to avoid any credit card service fees. He responded that that would not be a problem. We arrived the morning of the shower at 10:30 a.m. to find a gentleman mopping the floor and absolutely NOTHING prepared. There were no tablecloths on the table - nor could any be found - and my sister was told upon arrival that they were "not sure if they even had plates and utensils for 60 people"! I immediately went out to find tablecloths and plates and, luckily, my sister-in-law had several linens that she brought over and we were able to cover the tables. I purchased appetizer and dessert plates just in case they were needed (and yes, they were needed). Our group had to set up the extra tables while the venue managed to scrounge up two black tablecloths for those two tables. The shower started at noon and I noticed the appetizers were not yet put out. However, two of the sandwiches, the chicken salad and the vegetarian, were sitting out at the end of the serving area. Just sitting there in what has to be the sorriest presentation of food I have ever seen. The chicken salad was to have lettuce and tomato on it and the vegetarian, which was "chef's choice", was a spread of hummus, with some having sprouts and/or a tomato on it. I asked for the appetizers to be put out and when they arrived the amount served was woefully inadequate for the number of people it was contracted to serve. Also, they were brought out without serving utensils and without the dip to go with the veggies. There were no appetizer plates put out so we used those bought at the beginning of the day. Since the sandwiches were on the counter, people began lining up to eat and I had to announce several times that we were still missing the two salads and the turkey sandwiches. They were finally brought out - had to wait again for the salad dressings - and it did not take very long for the salad to be depleted. When they were advised that the salad bowl needed to be replaced, we were told that that was all that was to be given. They were advised that the salad was to serve 60 and that only little more than 1/2 of the guests had eaten. They did eventually bring another salad to serve. Another embarrassment happened when the bartender tried to charge a guest $3.00 for her diet Coke (soft drinks were included in our deal). She declined to pay. At the end of the event, after cleaning up, we were presented with a bill that included the service charge. We asked to speak to Mitch about a reduction in the bill based on the horrible experience and the bartender told us that Mitch said there would be no reduction and that the bill was "as is". We demanded to speak with him and said we were not paying the full price. Mitch appeared and, during the back and forth, it came out that (1) the real chef was on vacation and he was handling the chef's duties; (2) that because he was obligated to attempt to fill the chef's role, he was running around trying to do everything himself. He claimed it was due to being short-staffed but it is apparent that it was a lack of preparation; and (3) that he thought that the tablecloths were only needed for the 2 extra tables, despite stating at our August 3rd meeting that he would need to order them. We received a nominal credit to the bill. The venue itself was very nice, especially when decorated by the family and friends of the bride. The guests were happy to celebrate our bride and, hopefully, the bad food and faulty service will be overlooked and will not reflect poorly on the hosts and family. Thankfully, we were able to bring in our own delicious desserts - cream puffs, tarts, cheesecake with berries, Irish soda bread, and cake - and they went a long way to making up for the bad food. The salads, and the lemon vinaigrette dressing, were particularly good. The bride enjoyed her shower (thankfully, she was too busy to eat!) and, at the end of the day, that made the event a success. I would not recommend The Copper Cup to anyone looking for an event space until they get a better, more knowledgeable team in place.
