Cured salmon (gravlax), beef brisket, shrimp skewer, eggplant rollatini, remnants of seafood (seafud) salad.

I'd start by saying this hall gets 4.5 of 5, but that's not an option on yelp. The valet is quick to park. Floors are clean and we'll polished. Everything inside looks well maintained. Happy hour food was average to above average. Passed options, carving stations and buffet stations included. Tuna tartar was a favorite with lamb chops as a close second. This was the first taste of it, but everything needed more salt, from happy hour foods, salads, dinner, etc. I'd rather have less salt than too much, but there were no salt shakers at happy hour. Main dining room course, salad, needed a little salt. Pasta with marinara, needed salt and garlic but fresh basil was a nice touch. Steak, overcooked, brought home for my dog. Duck, delicious, but skin not crisped and fat improperly rendered. The sauce however was delicious. Dessert (ice cream bar) was OK. Crepes were the highlight. The water and ice during happy hour taste off, but in the main dining room was better. Diet soda was too sweet (in house mix). Staff was friendly. Wait staff did not take drink orders at all, which surprised me. I also noticed my server folding napkins after he was clearing dirty dishes off the table with the same gloves on (white catering style). I asked him not to touch my napkin, but at some point he got it, which has got to break some food health and safety rules. I good time. My second time at this hall and it did not disappoint.

This place rocks for a party!

*THIS REVIEW FOR VILLA LOMBARDI'S, WEDDING & CATERING HALL* I'm seeing Yelpers write reviews about the garlic knots they ate, this is not the page for the restaurant. Now that we have the pleasantries out of the way, "Villa" Lombardi's! When I was a kid, Mamma Lombardi's was my after school job. I worked with Mamma! She yelled at me for sneaking in the cold box and eating cannoli cream out of the tub. She'd also make me chicken cutlet parmesan after school (When her son Guy wasn't in the kitchen) Across the street was woods where I'd ride my dirt bike. I left the Mamma Lombardi job and joined the military. When I came back from being overseas, Mamma Lombardi's built a huge new restaurant across the street and started building Villa Lombardi's, a upscale wedding & catering hall. Over the years I've seen the transformation from the small restaurant to the Lombardi restaurant group. This location is their flagship and it is magnificent. All in Holbrook, where I raised terror with my GTO on Grundy Ave. Driving up to the Villa, its impressive. There is a valet waiting for your car. Just a note, if its a large affair, the cars/traffic will be backed up. I actually parked in the restaurant lot and walked inside. What the Lombardi group does which is great, they'll host a large Christmas party where you can rent a table. If you have a small office, like a real estate office with 10 people, you can purchase tickets and have a holiday party. Yippy! Villa Lombardi's takes care of everything. All you do is pay. Normally, we'd have an annual party on the North Shore location. They were so booked up and pushed our group to the Holbrook location. I've never been before, lets talk a walk thru. Walking into the villa is drop dead gorgeous. The family has spared no expense on expensive Italian marble tile. In the middle of it all is a beautiful Christmas tree. Very festive. We found our group tables and settle in. Open bar is always a good thing. I see these guys standing on line ordering Chocolate martinis. I wanna smack them in the head. There's Scotch hidden behind bottles of Whipped Cream Vodka! I had a Jameson neat thankyouverymuch. Now the food comes out and man it looks good. I always like to start with real food like a carving station and salads. This is where Villa Lombardi's shines. They have a massive spread of quality meats and cheeses. Perfecto! The Flank Steak was also cooked perfectly, its hard to cook Flank Steak for the masses, they do it right. The olives, roasted peppers, cheeses, dried salami are also dynamite. So far so good right? Here's where the disappointment sets in. Picture taking meat and mixing it with filler, I would say the ratio of meat to filler is 70 filler. This is what they served to us and called it meatballs. Ziti with sauce so thin its a disgrace to call it sauce. Mamma would shake her head if she saw this being passed off as sauce. Also offered was eggplant rollitini, fish, chicken. All of the typical buffet items, I passed. The carving station meats, cheeses and dried salami was plenty for me. If you're planning a wedding, stick to more carving stations and less Italian food. My two cents. Villa Lombardi's, if you're thinking of having an event, this is a nice place to consider. Mamma would be proud of the little corner pizza place/restaurant turned into a large restaurant group and catering hall for 2016.

Came out for a "Kingdom Hearts" woman's event with Christian guest speaker Auntie Annes creator. It's very nice though a bit outdated in design and chandeliers were all over the place but that's not what I'm here to judge. = It sparkled, was welcoming, the staff was very friendly (a very stout and strong woman replaced my napkin right away after it had dropped), the layout was straightforward, it wasn't terribly confusing like some of these kinds of venues can be. The bathrooms are located in the main area (logical!!!) as opposed to a hidden in the back dungeons. My complaint with them would be that there weren't nearly enough stalls for the occupancy capacity that place was capable of. We were a group of about 550 women and the ladies room had 10 stalls.... Break time was a nightmare. We took over the men's restroom LOL!!!! The food wasn't bad.. Good coffee. eThe salad bar was amazing! It nestled upon a round table with 3 levels like a crown. Fresh bread, quinoa salad with sweet vinaigrette, iceberg, romaine, spring, chopped fresh tomatoes, yummy! When lunch time came around, the trays were emptying out quick and were not being replaced fast enough since many people stood around waiting several minutes. We were a humongous group though... The event itself was cool. I am looking forward to the next year 's =)

See all

Nick and his crew did an outstanding job at my son's wedding. First off, he sat and listened to my…read moreson and his fiancé and then captured all their wishes into a fairy tale experience. Nick set up a 40 x 40 ft tent flawlessly, provided all the lighting and the table chairs, dishes etc etc - basically everything. He then set up an on-site kitchen that delivered with some of the best food: His chateaubriand grilled on a charcoal grill was outrageous. His calamari was tender and cooked on sight. His salads were fantastic, and even the asparagus was great. For dessert his Banana foster garnered rave reviews. Likewise for his shrimp, salmon and lamb chops. No one left hungry or disappointed. Nick had the good thought at our home based wedding located on the Great South Bay to drop the flaps on the tent when the wind picked up at the end of the ceremony. We didn't have to tell him - he anticipated what we needed for the event to be a success. That is Nick's secret - his experience and cooking expertise makes him anticipate your needs before you do! His crew of 6 were so helpful and caring. Every guest told us it was the best wedding they had been to. Why? Great food, caring help, smart plentiful choices. When the great evening was done, the backyard was left spotless with almost no reminders a great event occurred there. I wish I had photos to add but we were all busy enjoying ourselves, so I will post when we get them from the photographer Thank you Nick and the Tanglewood crew- you are the best!

All details (set up of tents, tables, chairs, linens, food) are taken care of by the company so there is little for us to worry about. Anything that you want, Nick and his team can make happen for you. We have referred Nick and Tangelwood to family and friends and they were all extremely satisfied. Our guests always rave about the variety and quality of the food, as well as the service they receive. They all love to listen to Nick's friendly banter while he tells them how good the food is. :) Karen & Darren

I received a phone call about ten minutes later. They ran out of brisket! The owner Chris called me personally. He offered several reasonable substitutions, but we really wanted the brisket. Chris was very pleasant, personable and polite. He instructed me to call back next Thursday through Sunday, as those are the only days the brisket is sold. The owner apologized for the inconvenience, and said he would include extra brisket in our upcoming order to compensate for their shortage. Chris said to simply place a reminder in the notes on the third party app. He made the resolution so simple! We ordered yesterday, and indicated Chris' instructions on the third party app. The order was delivered quickly and perfectly! The brisket was well worth waiting for, and the restaurant definitely gave us extra meat, as promised. The meat fell right off the fork. I didn't even need to use a knife. This is melt in your mouth brisket, complete with the smoke ring. Real deal. We requested that they put the marinade on the side. Like any good piece of meat, the marinade was complementary, but not necessary. It was just like when you go to an exceptional steakhouse, if the meat is high quality, steak sauce and additional condiments are not required. The corn bread was homemade, soft and tasty. The fries were nicely seasoned and very fresh. The coleslaw and onion rings were excellent. The macaroni and cheese was an interesting blend of shell pasta with a thick peppery cheese sauce. Very good. I would definitely recommend this eatery. Everything was amazing. I will be a repeat customer. I would also like to thank Chris personally for his professionalism and excellent customer service. You should try them if you are looking for great barbecue! A+++

We were deciding between a few caterers and had a tasting with the Perry's that just sealed the deal. My (now) husband and I walked out of there saying it felt like we just had lunch with our aunt & uncle, it felt like we had known them that long! They are two amazingly warm people -- of course it helps that John is incredibly organized and good at his job and that Nikki makes the most delicious bites. We devoured every little last bite at that tasting.. Nothing went to waste! John was so helpful with everything leading up to the day of as well, from picking out rentals, to working out our timeline. We decided to have a different format (cocktail stations as opposed to a formal sit-down dinner) and working together, John helped us make sure we'd have a smooth flow and that everything would go off without a hitch. As we were working out the details with the rentals, I never felt like he was pushing me one way or the other -- even when he put together the list of kitchen items they'd need (my venue did not provide any set-up), I knew he was being careful about not over-ordering. I really felt like he had my best interests in mind at all times. Having him to coordinate all the details made me feel at ease.. I knew I was in good hands! On our actual wedding day, we were so well taken care of. The staff made sure we were eating (haha, doesn't always happen at weddings!) and everything ran so smoothly. Later in the evening, a very traumatic family emergency happened during the reception that put a frightening pause on the celebration. John was a rock and I really felt like I looked to him for the "What now?" John & Nikki were different from some of our other vendors with whom we'll probably not be in touch again. I feel like we'll be sending John & Nikki Christmas cards for years to come.. :) They embraced us and made us feel like family, and I'm certain they will you too.
