Updating my review based on our recent visit. We ordered online as usual and arrived just before it…read moresaid it was supposed to be ready. Our order was not over to the side like it usually was so we assumed it wasn't ready yet. We eventually asked about our order. The employees seemed confused and were checking the system to find the order. The unpleasant girl at the counter told us the order had already been picked up by someone else and we were out of luck. We said that we hadn't picked up the order so we still expected to have our food made. At first she refused to remake the food repeating that it had already been picked up. At this point we asked to speak with the manager because that seemed unacceptable considering we spent $28 on this order and it wasn't our fault that someone else stole our order. When we requested that she then changed her mind and said they would make the order. She was incredibly rude and unpleasant throughout the whole experience. The food here is delicious but the customer service leaves a lot to be desired. I can see why the rating is lower than I had expected based on the food.

My husband and I finally got a rare date night for the first time since having our baby four months…read moreago. We also have a toddler at home, so getting a babysitter and having even a couple of hours alone together is a big deal for us. We drove up from lower Westchester specifically to come here, hoping to have some cocktails, a nice dinner, and actually enjoy a night out together. We even told our server that we had a babysitter only until a certain time, so they were fully aware that we couldn't sit there indefinitely. From the moment we sat down, we waited about 20 minutes just for someone to come to our table. We ordered drinks and then waited approximately 40 minutes for them to arrive. Our server came over multiple times telling us, "They're coming out right now," but they never did. After we had been waiting close to an hour, the bartender finally came over and told us they didn't have the beer my husband ordered because the tap wasn't working. Right behind her, our server said, "I'm going to pour it right now." How are you going to pour a beer we were literally just told you can't serve? At that point, repeatedly being told something was "coming right now" when it clearly wasn't only made the situation more frustrating. Our food finally came out basically at the same time as our drinks. By then, because they knew we had a babysitter only until a certain time, we had no time left to actually enjoy our meal. We took maybe two bites of our food before we had to ask for boxes and leave. We still spent almost $100 to essentially take our dinner home with us. What bothered me most was the complete lack of management. Not once did a manager come to our table, despite the excessive wait, the confusion with our drinks, and the fact that we had to box up practically untouched meals and leave. As a business owner myself, I completely understand that businesses get busy and things go wrong. But when they do, management should step in, acknowledge the situation, communicate honestly, and at least attempt to make it right. The lack of responsibility and management here was honestly shocking. We weren't expecting perfection. We just wanted to enjoy one of the very few date nights we've been able to have since welcoming our baby. Instead, we spent almost the entire night waiting and then had to rush out with our food in boxes. So if you're looking to wait nearly an hour for a drink without even having enough time to catch a buzz, or you enjoy sitting hungry while being repeatedly told your order is "coming right now," this might be the perfect establishment for you. Unfortunately, for us, the service completely ruined a rare and much-needed night out together. We drove all that way, arranged childcare, spent almost $100, and left having barely eaten. Extremely disappointing.

If I could give Jefferson on the Lake zero stars, I would. I was a bridesmaid in my friend's…read morewedding this past summer, and unfortunately, it was one of the most poorly managed and unprofessional venues I've ever encountered. Upon arrival--at the exact time we were instructed to be there--there were no staff members on site to prepare the venue. The bride and bridal party were left to figure things out on their own. The tablecloths provided were wrinkled beyond belief, clearly having been stored in garbage bags and not even minimally steamed or pressed for presentation. The outdoor ceremony setup was equally unacceptable. Just 1-2 days prior, the groundskeepers had laid fresh mulch, leaving the entire space smelling strongly of manure. Guests had to endure the odor while watching the bride walk down the aisle flanked by dollar-store-quality fake flowers. To make matters worse, a large hole in the fencing behind the ceremony site--clearly visible to guests--was brought to the venue's attention at the rehearsal and the bride and groom specifically asked that it be repaired. It never was. It remained a major eyesore in every ceremony photo. Staff finally arrived about an hour before the wedding began. But instead of helping with critical last-minute details like steaming linens or assisting the bridal party, they chose to focus on washing down the walkways to remove an excessive amount of goose feces. Despite their efforts, the droppings remained in many areas--causing stains on dresses and even trapping the bride's veil to the ground during her entrance. Shockingly, the staff also thought it was appropriate to begin painting walls--yes, painting--just minutes before the bridal party was supposed to walk down the aisle. It was a last-ditch effort to cover up the deteriorating condition of the venue and left everyone speechless. It may sound exaggerated--but I truly wish I were making this up. The cocktail hour was just as chaotic. Bar lines were incredibly long due to a lack of experienced bartenders, and appetizers were served without plates--only napkins. Among a very limited spread of cheese and crackers sat a random bowl of chocolate Raisinettes, seemingly tossed in from a bulk container at BJ's. All of these issues combined took away from what should have been joyful moments. The bride and groom lost nearly an hour of their scheduled photography time due to these preventable mistakes and delays. No couple should have to endure this level of unprofessionalism on their wedding day. Jefferson on the Lake has a long way to go if it wants to be taken seriously as a wedding venue. I strongly urge future couples to reconsider booking here.

The young man that usally works the counter is one of the friendliest, respectful, and professional young men I have encountered in a long time...His name is Junior..I take him for a Manager or Shift leader by the way he commands the operations and by the respect given to him by the rest of the staff (who are all great and hard working as well). If Junior is not the Manger, I'd be suprised and he needs to be. Whether im getting my single black ice coffee or getting multiple "boxes of joe" and boxes of treats, I am treated exactly the same...Fantastic! Honestly, I uses to come into this particular location on occasion if I was going to the bank or the mall (as I have two D&D location in closer proximity to my home), but in the past 9 months, this has become my "Go to" Spot and its 100% because of Juinor and his team. I suspect maybe new ownership or management is the cause of the great new staff turnover but I am speculating..Honestly, I dont care about the reason..just the results. BTW..The donuts are always fresh available and the coffee is always perfect. (Which is true of most locations), but at this one, you get it with a pleasant greeting, a smile and assembly line speed and proficiency. In closing..This is not the same D&D location of old, come in and check it out for the first time or give them a second look..you will not be disappointed. ENJOY!
