They said the next trip was with Niles Park District and I should call them to get included in that trip. I called Niles Park District and they did not know what I was talking about!

Why am I making all these phone calls???? Forget this place. Not worth the effort!

The space was stunning and created the perfect atmosphere for cocktail hour with our loved ones. A very special thank you to Sharon, the hospitality manager, who has truly been my favorite person to work with since entering my bridal era. Her warmth, professionalism, and genuine care made all the difference. I can't thank her enough for helping bring my vision to life. The catering by Veridian was incredible. Every dish was beautifully presented and tasted just as amazing as it looked. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the food and the attentive staff. It was a perfect night from start to finish.. we're so grateful!

I do wish there was a half day price for littles under 3 because they for sure won't last the full day to enjoy the play. We lasted about an hour, it took little man about 20 minutes or so to get used to the play area, esp with all of the screaming big kids. The ceiling space really does carry the screams quite a bit so he got startled often but ended up still having a great time. The space was spacious and the staff was incredibly nice. We also ordered little man a meal after 3 and got a discount. We got a few drinks as well. We got him a grilled cheese and it came with veggie straws and a beverage. Since he couldn't drink juice yet, they offered milk which he did get to enjoy. Overall a great experience, and recommend to any parents looking to tire their kiddos out during break.

Working with Jessica Trzop leading up to the event was easy and efficient; she had excellent customer service and ensured that everything we needed was accounted for. Upon arrival, I was surprised to not have known that someone else would be caring for us on the day of the event. I'm wondering if this shift caused things to be lost in communication, as we didn't have things such as the P.A. System and microphone set up, A-frame stands for our welcome sign, or a welcome table. We pivoted and worked through it. Our bartender was so grumpy and passive aggressive. But there was nothing to do about that in the moment either so we tried to kill her with kindness and shake it off. Overall, it ended up being a beautiful shower, the food was excellent, and we were able to persevere through the few hiccups we had.

There are tons of different seating options from indoor bar or deck bar, indoor dining room, outdoor dining deck, or even beach tables.

All of the staff are attentive and friendly and will help with special requests.

When we first got there my wife wanted to sit outside and was told they had heaters (as I was dressing for 50's temps), but they didn't have them turned on. So, inside we went and sat at the bar. Stayed for couple of quick drinks. Nothing special about it but our bartender was very nice, personable and attentive. So from that standpoint service was great! Pricing was decent but if you are looking for an old fashioned, don't. It tasted like they splashed it with sprite or something, bathed in crushed ice and Marciano cherry. Very sweet. All of that was passable and went with the style but had to knock them down when I went to the rest room. It was dirty, paper towels on the floor and trash bins overflowing. I get they were busy on a Saturday night, but still. We will be back but hope to have a better review next time. If I recall their food was good, though menu is a little traditional - nothing too exciting for this foodie.
