I am typically lenient and easygoing in reviews, but organizing a wedding with Bien Venu caused constant stress and was a huge pain in the butt. They offer you a lot and make it sound great, until you sign the contract which they will immediately begin braking. We were treated very poorly and the most basic services and equipment we were promised during our walkthrough we were later told were not an option. We were also improperly charged thousands of dollars worth of bills; eventually this was figured out, but it was just one more thing that they got so wrong. I could list more than 20 different things they told us they would do in the contract, in emails, and verbally that they failed to do. We loved our wedding, but it was no thanks to Bien Venu; they only made everything about wedding planning and the wedding day difficult.

While the building is beautiful and most of the staff were great, the bartender and "security" were…read moreincredibly rude to the bride and entire bridal party. They spent A LOT of money to have their wedding there and were disrespectful all night and made everyone feel uncomfortable. The bartender refused to prioritize the bridal party for drinks, halting them from being able to take photos in a timely manner. They asked for a ton of money to only have one bartender on staff for a very large group of people, so there was a significant line for drinks all night. The security guard was creepily checking out the women all night while at the same time being incredibly rude and unprofessional. We had actual police officers in attendance as guests, and even they couldn't believe how Paul Blart was acting. He was overheard asking the bartender "when is this thing over, I don't get why these things last this long." When the bridal party went to do a check to collect the rest of their belongings before leaving for the night, he stated a bunch of them were "fooling around" in the basement. Someone who clearly has never been invited to a party or a wedding in their life should not be tasked with this. Not to mention he gets paid $300 to be there. Even pacing up on the stage staring everyone down while we ate dinner. You would think he would be more concerned with waiting by the entrance to ensure there weren't people going to be drinking and driving (his job) instead of ogling the women and treating/questioning all the guests, pulling them out from the dance floor to interrogate them like a wanna be cop. Pay 7k to this place if you want to be treated poorly and your guests to be treated poorly on the most important day of your life.

Go straight and take a left through Gilmore's, to reach Table 1912. Wasn't super intuitive but you'll figure it out. Attended their pre-opening dinner, and tried, well, everything. Comfortable, friendly, attentive service (note: when you make your reservation you can request your server). A beautifully paced 4-course meal. I'm sure if you wanted to you could just order what you want and be done with it, but otherwise ordering of drinks, salad/soup course, entree and dessert is paced out, allowing for visiting, enjoyment of the restaurant, drinks, food, and your company. Our meal was about 2 hours. We started with the baked clams, bacon jam croquettes, and pork belly. Clams were my favorite but all were wonderful. The pork belly was a delightful combo of sweet and salty. For salads we got the ginger orange salad and the steak salad (they were out of the carrot bisque). The ginger orange salad was a nicely balanced sweet, bitter (from the greens), and salty (parm crisp) concoction. The steak in that salad was incredibly tender. A classic combination of flavors with olives, feta, quality Italian dressing. For entrees our table got the stuffed chicken, lamb, and the strip loin. The lamb was tender, tasty, with the right amount of gamey flavor, and the mushroom strudel was to die for. Crunchy, delicious, really incredible flavors--would be great as a stand alone appetizer option as well. Our friend enjoyed his chicken. The steak was fine, but probably would try something else next time (it was a little tough, and the garlic mashed potatoes were only ok). On to dessert. Wow! Turtle cheesecake (forgot picture) was very good, our friend loved the red velvet cake-beautiful presentation. But the star of the show was the lowly ice cream sundae. Usually just an after thought on a menu for kids or the unadventurous. But oh.my.god. A scoop of vanilla and a scoop of chocolate ice cream, both from Hansen's dairy. A house made cookie crumbled for the base, (note: everything on the menu is house made best i can tell), black cherry sauce, chocolate sauce, and marshmallow cream. Soooooo good. Enough for two for sure but don't feel bad if you don't want to share. A full bar, good beer selection, and a nice featured cocktail menu. Check this place out--you will not be disappointed.

They do offer free breakfast which is great and it starts at 6am which is also good because we like to get going early. Lots of TV channels and it had a well lit parking lot. Beds are comfortable and clean. My kid did find two bottle caps so not as clean as it should be. Bathroom is small but it does have a shower and toilet so no complaints! Also they provided enough clean towels that we didn't need to ask for more. One further complaint was it's advertised as free WiFi, however there is no password or instructions on how to get on. As a millennial I know how to get on the interwebs but it was taking me to their site and wouldn't let me log in. It was late enough that I wasn't going to bother with it so I do recommend asking about instructions when you check in.

I have seen worse but it's not good when your spending over 100 a night for a room!
