I ordered the filet mignon with grilled shrimp added. It came on top of cooked carrots and a bed of buttery mashed potatoes. It was perfect! Literally melted in my mouth! My daughter ordered pepper glazed pork loin or something like that and she loved it! We finished with their famous Crinkle dessert. If you've never tried this, it is an absolute must have!

ALCOHOL CATERING REVIEW:…read more The bartender from Spanky's was friendly, professional, and kept drinks flowing efficiently throughout our wedding. They created a welcoming atmosphere for our guests. Our signature drinks--beer for him and mojitos for me--were done perfectly, and we received many compliments on them. As a note, the venue requires Spanky's for all alcohol services, so they are affiliated. There was a hiccup with our honeymoon fund jar and bar tips. We had pre-ordered drinks through Spanky's, and the required gratuity was over $500 before any services were provided. We would have preferred the opportunity to tip based on service. We also weren't aware that tip jars would be out for the liquor items (venue responsibility, not the bar's), and the jar wasn't labeled to indicate what had already been pre-tipped. On the wedding day, the bar staff ended up moving our honeymoon fund jar off the bar, and unfortunately, it did not receive any contributions. Overall, the bartenders were professional and pleasant, and after messaging with the owner, we learned the situation was unintentional. Spanky's resolved the issue promptly, and the owner was a pleasure to work with, taking steps to improve the process for future couples.

One of the specials was a smoked salmon and dill dip I asked if it was served hot or cold and was told hot so I said we'd take it. Somehow we were served the spinach and artichoke dip; it was flavorless and piping hot but also cold in some spots as was the rest of the food. My fiancé ordered the porter house pork chop with the mashed potatoes and sauerkraut and it came with a salad. I ordered the Trust me which is all chefs choice. I told the waitress I was allergic to parsnips since I knew that was a vegetable option but didn't give any other parameters for my meal. My fiancés pork-chop was overcooked and dry the barbecue sauce was the only thing on our table the whole meal that had flavor. The chef prepared for me a sword fish over couscous in a béarnaise sauce. The first few bites of the fish were way over cooked and dry the last few bites were moist and cooked well the couscous was both crunchy (undercooked) as well as mushy (overcooked) neither the fish nor the couscous had any flavor which was very disappointing. Along with the fish was a petite sirloin which was very tough and dry and lacked any flavor; there was chimichuri sauce on the steak that definitely wasn't made correctly it was sweet and didn't taste at all like parsley. Under the steak was roasted broccoli and cauliflower which was also somehow overcooked but not cooked enough which seemed to be the theme of the evening. When the waitress asked how everything was I said fine because honestly I was so over it and had eaten a decent amount already since I was so hungry. Needless to say we won't be back.
