We were in a big room with a bar off to the side, a big central area for the dining tables, podium and speaker, and a big alcove off to the other side for the buffet dinner stations. Dinner was terrific- salad and pasta and potatoes and fish and chicken and vegetables and two carving stations. Dessert was a big slab of vanilla ice cream cake with a chocolate crust and chocolate syrup drizzle. The servers and bartenders we encountered were all very professional and pleasant. I spoke to our group member that organized the dinner and was pleasantly surprised at the very reasonable cost for our meal. I'm pretty sure we will book a few more meetings there for our 2018-19 year.

The cocktail hour hors d'oeuvres were a large variety of hot food trays- pastry wrapped asparagus, spinach pies, stuffed mushrooms, pepper steak, eggplant rollatini, and several charcuterie stations. The eggplant was exceptional. We also had a pasta station with two selections, and a great carving station with fork tender beef and a perfect turkey breast. Every employee we interacted with - at the coat check station, at the bar, at the food stations, and at the tables was polite and very professional. We were treated like honored guests and I had a terrific time.

We were seated quickly at a nice table with a white tablecloth, which gave it a more polished feel right away. There were TVs around showing the NFL Draft and UFL, which was nice to have to keep up to date on sports. The person I was with did wonder why the Knicks playoff game wasn't on, though. I ordered the Oven Roasted Norwegian salmon, and it was excellent. Really crisp on the outside while staying moist inside, it was exactly I like it. It was served over a bed of fresh vegetables with a salsa verde sauce that tied everything together really well. For dessert, I got the cheesecake. It looked small at first, but it was very filling. It came with a strawberry and a side of fresh whipped cream. The flavor was a little unique, not as sweet as I expected, but it worked really well. The service was good throughout the night, too. Our waiter was very friendly and kept us updated throughout the meal on when our food would be coming, which I appreciated. Altogether, this was a really solid experience and I would go back.

I have spent a lot of time debating and reflecting on what I should give Rose's Berry Farm for…read moretheir Sunday breakfast after giving it a visit this past Sunday. I have been conflicted between a 3 or 4 star and I have decided to give it a 3.5 stars, but will round down to 3 stars just because the wait can be extremely long with inattentive service. My dilemma is that even though I gave this place a 3 star, I would still highly, highly recommend people go to Rose's Berry Farm because you don't just go here for the food, but for the entire experience. Rose's Berry Farm is one of those places where you truly get to appreciate all the little things about life. Although I do understand that the wait can be frustrating, I like to think of it as just a longer time to be spending quality time in nature with your loved ones while appreciating your breath taking surroundings. This past Sunday I had friends from out of state visiting and decided to take them to Rose's. We arrived at around 11 am and waited around an hour to be seated so be prepared to be standing there for a bit. We ordered their Belgian Waffles, French Toast, and Quiche. The waffles and French toast come with Rose's homemade jam and whipped cream, which are AMAZING (I cannot emphasize that enough, you really have to try it). I have tried their Breakfast Burrito in the past and I don't think it is anything special so I do not recommend ordering that. My go to order for Rose's would be the Belgian Waffles with the jams and whipped cream on the side and the quiche. I normally don't enjoy waffles that much, but the waffles I had at Rose's were just so fluffy and when paired with the jam and whipped cream it's just a flavor explosion! Don't let the 3 stars scare you off, definitely give Rose's a try if you're ever around Glastonbury and are looking for something to do on a Sunday morning :)

I have heard about Rose's breakfast with a view for so long and finally got to check it out on a…read moreperfect Sunday morning. My bf and I got there around 9:45 and there were already a couple larger parties in front of us. However, because it was just the two of us, we got seated 10 or so minutes after we got in line since a couple smaller tables opened up faster. Thank goodness too because the line was moving slow! After we got seated, our server came by quickly and took our order. We got the pancakes, french toast (both with blueberry compote) and bacon. Then... We waited... for 40 MINUTES! and in looking around, it felt like half the tables were also waiting on food. Which was pretty ridiculous since breakfast foods shouldn't take that long to make. When we finally did get our food, I was a little underwhelmed. The fresh blueberry compote on top of everything was DELICIOUS. However, I would say my pancakes were subpar. They were flavorless and not a nice, spongy texture. My bf said his french toast was pretty good and a nice crispiness. Bacon was standard. Overall, I'm not upset I went but I'm not rushing back for an ok breakfast meal and a super long wait. One redeeming factor is that the views from the outdoor patio were really nice.
