I came here for a quinceanera years ago. This place was a nice catering hall that had a Spanish feel to it. It was beautiful and very big. It has beautiful gardens and the staff was nice. The food was good and it was place to remember. read more

I know that it is a little late but i have to say that my sons wedding was over the chart. It was Friday Oct 11,2019. From the moment we went there to do pictures they were so accommodating they ask we wanted some drinks and some appetizers while we were taking pictures. Carlos went above and beyond for us i couldn't have asked for anything more. The cocktail hour the food was awesome. They didn't rush you. The food at dinner was also awesome the portions were very big. I have been to alot of wedddings and not just because it was my sons the place couldn't do enough for us. The desserts we had take some home cause we were very full. I also like that they do not have more then one party going on. The only regret is that it was a little chilly to sit outside. but we did just to cool off a little from all the dancing. Would recommend this place to anyone. You will not regret it. Thanks again for making my son and daughter in laws day perfect. The Siegel wedding read more

From the moment we stepped into Douglaston Manor, my husband and I knew that this was the place where we were going to get married. We had been to other venues, but Douglaston was exactly what we wanted. The room, the fireplace, the balcony, ambiance and the grounds. It was in a world of its own. Thomas was wonderful to deal with and worked with us from the moment we booked up until the end of our reception, in which my husband hugged him and thanked him for all his help throughout the year leading into the day itself. Even when I was about 1/2 hour late to the ceremony, Thomas and his staff were very accommodating and didn't rush us to go throughout the ceremony. Our guests are still talking about how wonderful everything was. read more

Couldn't believe how horrible this place was! From the start it was disaster. We went for Mother's Day and it was suppose to be a buffet. We were a party of 6 and every single glass on our table was dirty. Then we asked for lemon for the water and they didn't even have a slice of lemon left. Finally we went into the room with the buffet and their was maybe 4 trays of hot food out and a few trays of shrimp. Wasn't much of a buffet and they were charging $60 per person! When they went to put on the music they put a speaker next to our table with a iPhone attached. Every part of Douglaston Manor was terrible. Worst experience! Thank god we walked out and went out for a real meal. read more

I have emailed and called and left voicemails hoping someone would please return my request for a refund but nothing! Our wedding couldn't happen because of a pandemic, yet they would just ignore us and keep our deposit. Very dishonest! read more

Was here for a dinner banquet... And it was mehh 1) there was a leak from the ceiling by one of the tables therefore the solution was to place an ugly white plastic container that they use to collect dirty plates to catch the water 2) the food was on the level of something found in the dining hall of a school.. The best part about the food was maybe the store bought bread and the coffee... 3) one of the servers got pasta sauce on someone's shirt sleeve but did apologize and went to check what type of base the sauce was made with to better advise how to get the stain out 4) there were private bathrooms in our banquet room which was nice Overall nothing special however it is affordable.. read more

the food was so good! it was my first time here for a family dinner than grew up in douglaston and have spent much time at the manor. according to them the food has greatly improved, so I'm going to give them five stars. The service was lovely, and so was the food. I had the special of the day- skirt steak salsa verde. it would've been better if they put the salsa on the side since it added such a big tingle to the steak. the fries are also delicious ! and the set up of the food plate was unique. overall, had a great time. read more

Nice place to hold a party. Nice banquet rooms that have fireplaces, chandeliers, and sunroom atrium allow you to have a memorable experience. Best thing about DM is the food. Nice menu at both sit down and buffet. Food was actually tasty and delicious. Maybe it was a busy friday night but the service was less than average. Slow is the word. Food during cocktail hour came in late and one server w/ a tray at a time, removal of dinner and glassware, candles in room were not all lit, and coffee was served way after dessert. At least bar and valet service was on point. read more

I had my wedding here this year. From the moment I walked in I knew I had to get married here. The place is beautiful and they keep it tidy. I went to a bridal showcase they had. the food was delicious but I was not too fond of the decorations they had that day. It just was too over the top with ice sculptures and lights and fruits cut in different shapes, which was understandable while having a showcase. It was nice just not my style. I knew for my wedding I would have it decorated differently so I wasn't worried. We had spoken to Thomas about having an outdoor ceremony, weather permitting, of course. The day finally came and it was raining all morning, but the ceremony was at 7pm. I had arrived early as I was traveling from NJ and left early to avoid traffic. I was immediately greeted by Thomas, and Carlos. About an hour before the ceremony I was told they were setting up inside for the ceremony since the floor was still wet. I love the view of the golf course so I had politely asked if it was possible to have it outside. I was thrilled when Carlos said "don't worry we will make it happen". The ceremony was held outside and was beautiful with mimosas for the guests. During the entire night I had a bridal assistant who was THE BEST. The moment I got into the bridal suite with my bridesmaids she was attentive and most importantly, professional. She greeted us, introduced herself (Samantha) and said whatever we needed to just ask. Many brides I have spoken to say they don't have time to eat, now this was a major concern because I get super cranky and many times get sick if I don't eat. After the ceremony and pictures we were asked to wait in the suite until the reception (15mins). As soon as she saw me she fixed me a plate and reminded me to eat. A few times during the reception I went back to the suite to change shoes and she was right there behind me helping me. After I was done changing she would make sure the suit was locked since our things were in there. I swear she has a twin or something because I would go back downstairs as she was locking everything up and by the time I was at my seat she was there making sure I felt comfortable. She even packed up food for me that I didn't finish eating. If you're thinking of getting married here ask for Samantha because she really went above and beyond. Overall this place was great. I gave it four instead of five because I was told my wedding would be the only event that night and when the reception started there was another party next door who also had music and it was confusing when I was walking in and saw strangers in the lobby. I would've been OK with it because they gotta make money but why say only one event at a time? Anyways I still recommend because as I stated it was great. read more

I had my daughters bridal shower here yesterday. When I walked in the Kathy who was helping me all along with my planning introduced to my maitre D Thomas. Now I have hosted several parties at other venues and the maitre d is always there to service and help you through out the event. All I can say about this place was after I was introduced to Thomas I never saw him the rest of the day. I was constantly in need of something and there was zero help. None! Lunch was served which I might say the shrimp scampi was boiled shrimp in a liquidy red sauce. It was horrible. Most of my guests left their food. When I complained to Kathy she told me that's how they make it! Lol Never in my life have I seen shrimp scampi in a red liquid. It was tasteless and disgusting. After the meal I again had to get somebody to clear the dishes. Again no Thomas. Then they left tons of glasses on the tables that were never cleared off. Then getting coffee was like asking for gold. My guest wanted but never got. The few who got it had no cream or sugar. By the time they got it the coffee was cold. At this point I blew my top at the waiters to pour some damn coffee in the cups! The waiters were horrible and rude! Then I realized I was supposed to get soda and wine in all the tables.. guess what. There was not a drop of soda anywhere! I the again had to look for someone ( again no Thomas to be found) to cut the cake and serve it! Please be aware! This place has gone downhill! Do not book an event here. When I called today to talk to the owner about these issues , she never called me back. Horrible experience! BEWARE! read more

Went 2 a 100 person baby shower there. Food was great especially liked the Calamari. Mike who booked and arrainged everything was great about set up and was true to his word regarding our agreement. It's an amazing spot for pics regardless of the occassion. Champainge punch was a little weak. But u can't go wrong here! Class, Class all the way! read more

My husband and I got married at The Douglaston Manor on March 24th 2012. It was the BEST day of our lives. Our Banquet manager Mike Bruzzese was amazing. Since working with him, My husband and I never had a single worry. He was there for us day and night, responded to our emails within minutes EVERY SINGLE TIME! He took care of EVERYTHING, from the smallest details that we didn't even think of, to the main parts of our wedding. He was so organized, he tailored the days schedule to fit our plans, printed out floor plans for us and even offered helpful suggestions from his own extensive experience. Every detail was covered before our wedding day, which made it easy to actually enjoy our wedding. Which we absolutely did! He was very interested in making sure we enjoyed the wedding, which was a great feeling. Claudia was amazing as well, making sure to speak to us throughout the planning of the wedding, genuinely interested in our wedding planning and satisfaction with her business. She offered us any amenities she had available to make our wedding day special, which it was 100%! Sam, our bridal attendant was also amazing. She anticipated my every need to perfection, helping me with walking with the dress, refilling my Champagne before I even noticed I needed a refill. She even offered to go to my parents car to get my flats because i mentioned my feet were hurting! She really made me feel like a real princess on my wedding day! The food was delicious. The grounds are beautiful. The building itself is spectacular, having lots of dark woods that make you feel like you are in a rustic-type italian mansion. The way they decorate for the wedding was beautiful as well. They really did everything for us, while still making us feel in change by asking us our input for every single detail. The staff was genuinely interested in pleasing us. Overall, our experience with The Douglaston Manor was nothing short of a fairy-tale! We would HIGHLY recommend having your wedding at the Douglaston Manor! read more

Ahh the Douglaston Manor beautiful place but they should be ashamed of themselves. I was there today with 10 people for their Thanksgiving dinner. It was the biggest mistake we ever made. The food was terrible..I mean who lays out such bad tasting food? I have eaten in restaurants all.over the US the last 35 years from gourmet to good. The food we ate today doesn't even rank as decent. Cmon guys you want to cut corners to maximize profit on the 55 per head cost? I rather you charge 75.00 dollars and give us better food!!! I mean 2 people got sick in their bathroom since they got home. You can see it was discolored, Cheap and prepared badly. Even the coffee tasted like brown water. I would avoid this place at all cost They need to change their product. You know it was bad when all 10 people at the party complained about the food. I have been to catering halls all over the City and Long island and I wouldn't book a party here for free! Waste of our money and time and a ruined Holiday. read more

They wont return our $5000 payed so far for a wedding next year during a PANDEMIC! Find an honest place. Its not their money to keep when we can't do the wedding because of events outside everyone's control. Find a place with reasonable people. read more

My wedding took place on July 11, 2014 and both my husband and I could not have asked for a better venue. Our banquet manager was Thomas, he has a lot of experience and will guide you through the entire planning for your wedding. He is the best manager. Anytime we had questions or concerns he was always available. We were even surprised with our cocktail hour, the lounge area looked amazing. My husband and I both had our own bridal suite. Our guests were amazed with the service and food. Our ceremony took place in the courtyard as our guests waited, they were served with mimosas and water. My bridal attendant took care of me the entire day anything I needed she took care of. Thomas and Douglaston helped us to have the best wedding ever. Future brides go to Douglaston Manor and speak to Thomas. read more

Had my daughters shower there last March. I was told I could come in the night before to decorate, until the night before n was told no I couldn't. Had to go morning of n rush putting up decorations n almost went late to the shower. Then the food, no great shakes go elsewhere. Then they were rushing us out while opening the gifts n there was no other party coming in since we were there till 6 n nothing was going on. I don't recommend this place if you want to enjoy your shower. Food like I said is not great. So many other places that were better priced n much better food. Sorry I didn't go to thrm read more

I write this review with a heavy heart. Douglaston Manor has been in our community for so long, and have been to so many family and friend functions that have been amazing. I have always dealt with Tom and fully appreciate his work and commitment to our families. Unfortunately recently I had put down a substantial deposit for my son's first communion. In light of our nation's crisis and the shutdowns, I requested for the deposit to be returned. As of right now, the response was pretty much the money would not be returned, and my account is currently negative for over $1000. read more

Lovely establishment. My cousin had his wedding here. Staff seemed to be overwhelmed that day but overall good service. Beautiful decor. I enjoyed this event. read more

My husband and I had our wedding ceremony/reception here and we thought just about everything turned out amazing!!!!!!!!! 1. It was extremely AFFORDABLE! Normally, you would think "affordable" means you get yucky, cheapo food that no one would ever think of eating, but that was not the case. We had a great cocktail hour, three dish choices for our menu and unlimited beer, wine, & soda for a price that didn't go over our budget. 2. We thought the staff was very kind, pleasant, and helpful. Our banquet manager helped us every step of the way. We never hired a wedding planner/coordinator so his guidance really helped us stay on track and his advice was so valuable to us! 3. We had a bridal attendant who was AMAZING! So sweet and helped me reapply make-up, keep us on track with timing, etc. 4. The grounds are gorgeous. All of our guests thought it was such a beautiful place (and so did we!!). The ceremony spaces look great in pictures. The rooms honestly look like something you'd see in a castle. 5. It was accessible from points all over the city. For a 6pm ceremony, there was some traffic but most people, even some from the Bronx said it took them less than an hour to get there!! If you're looking to book a venue for a wedding, sweet sixteen, party, etc. this place is most definitely worth checking out!! read more

Thanksgiving day review. I came to Douglaston Manor on two occasions. The first being a Christmas party years ago and second being a wedding I attended recently. The first time around was mediocre and a bit boring from what I remembered. It was too formal and having your boss around, it wasn't easy to enjoy so I'll mostly base this review on my second experience. I'm going to start with some of he negatives. There weren't many so relax. The valet parking attendants were dicks. I wasn't sure who was doing what and they all seemed to ignore you as if you were invisible so I decided to park my own car and they complained about that. I saw several other guest parking their own vehicles with no issues from the valets. The second issue I had was with the servers. None of them were friendly and they were all pushy and kinda bum rushing everything so they could get their shift over with and leave. Well, even with the rude valets and servers, that didn't stop any of us from having a awesome night. It was my long time friend's wedding. I knew this kid since he was in kindergarten with my cousin. Cocktail hour and the hor d'oeuvres were pretty amazing. There was a lot of food to go around. Some people including myself that was the main course until they moved us into the grand hall. Open bar all night and jack on the rocks made my evening. The DJ was humorous and fun. They played great music and got the guest dancing on their feet all night long. We had a choice of steak, chicken, or fish for our entrée. I chose the steak and they grilled up a pretty darn good one here. They didn't cheap out and give you a puny little flank of steak. It was a legit piece of meat grilled to perfection that evening. I was impressed. Verdict - I don't know the numbers to the price of having a wedding in Douglaston Manor however I must say, the space they provided was plentiful. read more

Don't be fooled people! My best friend had a special event here. The prices and the menu looked great on paper but they "conveniently" had not one photo of their food dishes. Day of party...food was average at best, portions were small. The cold antipasto station was their best food, after that it's averageville. You need to watch the staff and make sure the food you paid for it for cocktail ACTUALLY being served. Until my friend noticed it was not. All we were bring served was the pigs in a blanket over and over...The ice cream station was a complete joke, this hall served us all 1/2 of one scoop. One teen server with what has got to be the smallest bowl you will ever see. The cake was served 15 minutes bf the party was over, just overall disappointing for her. When she shared her disappointment of how late the cake and cookies were being served the maitre literally gave her attitude and walked away. I would never recommend this place. We literally carried out the cookies in platters as no one got to eat them. On paper they will sell you but the actual food and quantity will show the real value. You should be able to enjoy your party and trust you get what you pay for. read more

This is not a bad place for a large event where you invite over fifty people. I came here for a wedding reception and was rather impressed by the decor, the layout, and the food. The food was excellent, the service could be better, but the the overall eating experience is quite impressive considering the majority of the wait staff are teenagers. The view is nice, though a little weird considering you enjoy the views of a golf course... Besides that, its a nice place to consider for wedding receptions, sweet 16's, and other large scale parties. Expensive though... read more

I had my wedding reception there. We found the place from one of the wedding catalogs and from driving around. Almost booked with the Terrace on the Park (my friend had her wedding there and it was nice), but for our party of 100 they offered us a beaten up place and food and service reviews were not so great. And then we found Douglaston manor! Loved the place! very beautiful! people are very friendly and helpful. Lots of food for a good price per person. But you do need to do a tasting: some dishes are much better then the others. Sushi are good. Two bad things I did not like (so learn from my mistakes) - we had 6 hour reception and people were waiting for the dinner and did not dance, but the dinner was served about 1-1.5 hours after everybody were seated. second: they poured champagne even before the cocktail hour started! so needless to say it was flat by the time of the toast. Overall, i would definitely recommend this place, i enjoyed my wedding and did not worry about things at all. Our MD Chris helped us a lot! He was very friendly and very patient when we kept changing our floor plan or just did not know what we want.... As a bride i love the beauty of the place and the bridal suite was spacious, comfortable, and nice. read more

I attended the 2015 Taekwondo Ball here tonight. What a gorgeous venue. Clean. Thoughtful decor. Great view. The staff was friendly. This includes everyone from the valets to the busboys. The butler served appetizers were tasty. The entrees were good. Coffee and dessert hit the spot. I love this place. read more

So the first was when I was in 2015 venue shopping for my wedding. I was totally underwhelmed, you can see all the imperfections in the daylight. We quickly ruled this place out as a venue option. I was intrigued when I got invited to a gala over the weekend and and was pleased to see some upgrades to the outdoor grounds. I honestly thing it looked so much better at night. There was a delay with our event, not sure if it was the fault of the venue or the hosts but we had to wait in the lobby for about 20minutes. There was a wedding going on and we had to walk pretty much through their event to get to our room in the back, which I thought was a little weird. Our bartender, though very nice and attentive, was completely untrained. Like making an apple martini with patron kind of untrained lol The passed hors d'oeuvres were decent, though I've never seen pizza squares passed at a formal event before. The girl who waited our table wasn't informed on how the food was prepared so she had to run back to the kitchen multiple times to check -- it seemed like she was new. Dinner wasn't bad, but the portions were small and the "steak" looked more like steakums. Im not a fan of the venue but I do know that for event spaces like this, a lot of things are left up to the hosts planning the event so I think 3 stars is fair. I did see a nice looking patio area out of the window that wasn't there when my husband and I came for a tour, so it's nice that they are investing into the space. read more

We went for Thanksgiving brunch with 4 people. I was our 2nd time to the restaurant . we have lived here (little neck) for many years. We went because we found it hard to get a reservation anywhere else that was local. We had a bad experience last year, the meal was pretty substandard, but what the heck, Turkey & stuffing. Ill skip to the food. We had the sea-bass and calamari for our fish. Both were extremely overcooked and in edible, I don't even think it was sea bass, scary!! The squid was like rubber bands and the sauce was out of a jar. We figured the try the stuffed pasta shells, it reminded me of my college cafeteria food, it tasted "unusual...almost sour". At that point my appetite was shot and I just wanted to go to the diner. My buddy got the prime rib, he couldn't chew it, he asked for another and it was the same way. His wife liked the squash soup, we all liked the yams. Im sorry to say , its a very pretty place thats local to us. But the food is just awful. We miss the Scobee diner! read more

very dissappointed about this plae. I went with my soon to be husband and met with Thomas. He was nothing but down right rude. His attitude was like he knows everything, and that he is the end all be all. When we asked who owns the place (mind you we just met him) he said that it was purchased by some people that have no clue to what they are doing. He went on to say how he has been there for 20 years and went through 5 owners!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 5 Owners????? I would think then their has to be a problem with this guy if he is the GM (just my opinion) The room was set up like a "T" so it was kind of hard to vision 130 people. He went on to say how he fired the old Chef and was responsbile for bringing in this new Chef from Atlantic City. After listening to him trash the place, it was time for us to leave. My advice to this guy Thomas is" be thankful that you have a job. If I was the Owner and heard anything like this I would fire your ass, and let you go work for someone else. Brides beware. read more

Douglaston Manor surpassed all of our expectations. We just celebrated our wedding on July 1st, 2014 and all we can say is that we were blown away by their professionalism, attention to detail and their ability to ensure that the day turned out as we had imagined it...like a fairytale. Anthony Calogero, our banquet manager and Lisa, our bridal attendant were utterly amazing!!! As some of our guest mentioned, they treated us and our party like royalty. The food was delicious and endless. Our guest kept commenting on all the various food options that were available throughout the night. We had the ceremony on premise and Anthony and Lisa ensure that everything went as scheduled. If their any mishaps, we didn't know about it because they took care of it. We are truly grateful that we choose to celebrate our special day at the Douglaston Manor!!! read more

Nice room , pretty outside area overlooking the golf course, food was good but service not so much. Servers were kids, just not that great but the bar tender was the worst. Not a kid, Arturo was terrible. If you didn't put a tip every time you went up for a drink he simply ignored you. Over a hundred people at our event with only one bar. My wife was one of the guest of honor, and still couldn't get a drink. Colleagues started getting two drinks at a time just to avoid dealing with Arturo. Nice place for the price just make sure you request a different bar tender than Arturo. read more

I was at a party today at the Douglaston Manor and it was terrible. There were red ants all over the table and food. No one cared or helped. When we asked the person in charge to help he told us he tried calling an exterminator and one was not available. We then asked to change the linen and table items since they were covered in ants and hr refused. What is really amazing is that the ants were not the worst problem. The food was awful. The passed appetizers were heated and OK the first time through but then you realized that they had been heated and stored and each subsequent time they appeared they became drier and harder to eat. From there the meal went downhill. The pasta was lacking flavor and the cheese on the table had ants in it so by time someone replaced it you had finished the pasta. By the way here is a good place to say the service was worse then the food. The small salad was OK and then the entrees came. Dry and nasty salmon, pork or chicken, they were all terrible. In addition, we had to use spoons to eat it as the staff did not put out silverware for the entrees. When desert came, they did not put out silverware again so the cake went uneaten because we had used our spoons for the entrees. There was also an open bar which you may think saved the day, but not if you were drinking a mixed drink. The soda gun spewed some nasty stuff which made everyone switch to liquor without mixers or beer. Of course they ran out of Corona during the night even though that is what everyone was drinking. They did manage to replace it after a short while. This was the worst catering hall experience in my life. Stay away from this place, they do not care at all and just take your money and laugh on the way to the bank. read more

I had my wedding reception at The Douglaston Manor on November 12, 2011. I have to sincerely thank Claudia, Thomas and the entire staff. Because of them I had the wedding of my dreams. They went above and beyond what I could have ever expected. Everyone was extremely helpful and very response throughout my planning process. The food was delicious and the ambiance that they created was beautiful. The bartender was great. I received so many complements on our signature drink. Every staff member was so helpful. My bridal attendant Diana was a gem. I had an issue with my bustle and she jumped in to save the day. I had my wedding reception in the Conservatory and the room was absolutely beautiful. All of my guests commented on how lovely the venue was. I highly recommend The Douglaston Manor for other brides. read more

NO HIGHCHAIRS. Def not a child/family friendly environment. Should your event have guests that require highchairs be sure to inform them they have to lug their own furniture to the party. The facility has ONLY ONE high chair. Since our party had multiple children that needed highchairs, the staff pretty much said there was nothing they could do. Our guests had to juggle their toddlers/babies on their laps during dinner. Great option if you have no intentions of enjoying your meal. Apparently you can't assume that event halls will be family friendly. Food was okay. But since I barely ate anything I can't tell you much. Service was typical as well. read more

Recently just had my wedding here less than a month ago. Like every event there is going to be some problems but honestly everyone at Douglaston manor came through with their word and my husband and me thought everything was absolutely perfect. My wedding day was a horrible rainy mess but having the whole venue to myself made it even better as we were able to go into different rooms for photos. Guests will have their complaints about everything and everyone is able to have their own opinion. It's hard to make over 120 guests all happy at once but what are you going to do. I would 100 percent have another party here in the future. The food was amazing and we were so well stocked in the bridal suit durning cocktail hour. We even greatly enjoyed having all the staff able to set up everything for us as we did a lot on our own to save money. (Best idea) Honestly wouldn't of changed anything. read more

This place looks great on the outside, but the inside is just mediocre. Their main room isn't warm and inviting, and the staff is unprofessional, rude, and inattentive. Food isn't good either. Such a shame, because this place has so much potential. read more

This review is for all you readers who may have looked to find reviews about The Douglaston Manor's Thanksgiving Day event and came up short. Prior to this Thanksgiving, I was one of you. All I can say is, my family and I were thankfully surprised. Everyone who greeted us, the parking valet, the host and hostess, our server, Joanna, and the staff working at the buffet stations, all were so welcoming. Shout out to the chef, who on such a busy day, accommodated a request for 2 kids in our group (ages 2 and 4) to have french fries and chicken fingers!! We took our time eating and no one rushed us out of there. Thank you! The dining room was spacious and tables were nicely set. The antipasto table was overflowing with fresh cheeses, cured meats, marinated vegetables, salads, focaccia and crackers. Platters were replenished without delay. Then there were two types of salads: mesculin and arugula, sliced cucumbers, red peppers, and grape tomatoes. There were entrees to please everyone: turkey of course - sliced white meat, dark meat, even whole drumsticks! There was roasted pork, fillet of sole, prime rib and ham at the carving station. My only criticism is that the prime rib was too well done to my liking. I prefer it rare. The roasted butternut squash and mashed sweet potatoes were delicious, same for the broccoli, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and cranberry compote. Room for dessert? That buffet table was amazing with traditional pies, cakes, cookies, cannoli, strawberries, fresh whipped cream, and more!! Looking at the wine list, prices ranged from $15 to $22. I thought those were per glass. Nope. Those prices were per bottle! And at $49 pp for the buffet, it was very affordable. Thank you Douglaston Manor for providing a worthwhile venue for a family holiday dinner! read more

This place has gone way down hill. Went for their Mother's Day special and it was a terrible experience. They charged $60 for a buffet dinner that had no food! It was a horrible experience and I'd never go back. read more

We can not have the wedding so successful without Douglaston Manor team's help, Kathleen gave us the guidance in preparation, bridal attendant Lisa and MaitreD Carlos are very experienced in coordinating.

Thank you Douglaston Manor for everything! read more
