I have never had such bad food at any restaurant as I did at the statler restaurant on Easter…read moreSunday.

I attended a guest chef dinner tonight for my inaugural visit to The Statler…read more What a gorgeous venue! The only downfall (and I'm hoping this is a faux pas only until the construction is complete) is the lack of accessibility. There are no ramps to get inside the building or from the entrance into the bar/restaurant venue. I was surprised that we had to request flatware with dessert and that there wasn't an option for coffee or tea. That being said, tonight's local chef/business was Tony's Supper Club. I enjoyed The Big Hello cocktail to start and since I wanted to order one of everything on the menu, I got 2 appetizers, an entree to eat for my meal, an entree to bring home for tomorrow, and dessert. The Fungi "Cappuccino" was deliciously creamy. My only gripe was that I needed a spoon and more bread to sop up every bit of goodness. The Caramelized Figs with creamy Goat cheese and spicy arugula was the perfect combination of flavors. For my main entree, I ordered the Wild Boar Ragu. The buccatini pasta was al dente, the ragu was well-seasoned (another part of dinner that needed just a nip of bread for sopping) and it was tough not to lick the plate clean. The second entree was the bison, only because my friend wouldn't stop raving about the duck confit potatoes. lol I ate one (even though I'm *stuffed*) and they are really good - but needed salt. For dessert, even though I've had it before, I had to go back for the chocolate panna cotta. The chocolate is insanely rich, the Hazelnut brown butter added flavor and crunch, and just a half scoop more of the ice cream would have been perfect. If you missed this opportunity, there's one more night on the books - tomorrow March 8 from 1600-2100. If you'd like a party catered or to keep up with Chef Tony, visit https://tonysupperclub.com/

As an event planner, I understand the importance of honest reviews. Here's our experience with…read moreCarla for my September 2024 wedding. We initially met Carla at Château du Feÿ, where she was employed. After a disappointing experience with another planner, we hired Carla 5 months before our wedding, hoping her 3+ years of specialized venue expertise would be invaluable. To our surprise, Carla had not worked with half of our vendors before - even though they were part of the short list of recommended vendors provided by the venue. Despite her website's claims, Carla's design suggestions felt generic and lacked the personalized touch we were looking for. Carla's lack of attention to detail became increasingly apparent as we worked with her. Our wedding had many unique and custom details. Lots of information that a seasoned wedding planner would be able to keep an attentive handle on. The mounting oversights caused significant stress in the final weeks leading up to the wedding. We were genuinely anxious that our vision wouldn't be realized. Luckily, we had multiple vendors and family friends that helped Carla execute the event. As the bride, I distanced myself as much as possible from Carla to allow myself to enjoy the day without frustration. This is not the typical experience. While we appreciate Carla's willingness to take us on with short notice, and she did have some helpful insights regarding sourcing a local florist and unique videographers, her lack of attention to detail ultimately overshadowed those positives. Feel free to message me if you have questions about our experience.

We just had our holiday party here last night and it was a wonderful time!…read more The banquet had the perfect amount of space for tables, a photo area, DJ and dance floor, buffet style set up for food, and a separate area with the bar area. There was also generous space to hang your jackets. There is covering outside if you need fresh air or to have a smoke without getting snowed or rained on. There were 2 bartenders and they were nice and did their jobs well. We never had to wait longer than a minute for drinks. The food was not bad... I really liked their ham! Super flavorful and tender and I wish I had went up for seconds. The bathrooms were cleaned and never ran out of toilet paper. I'd be very happy if our party took place here again next year!

Everything was delicious! My wife and I are not baked bean fans, but we polished off half a tin of these baked beans! The pulled pork was also melt in you're mouth tasty. The BBQ sauce the pork was covered in was a nice mild sauce. Not too overwhelming. Just right! The corn and Mac and cheese was also great tasting with the Mac and cheese having think melted cheese covering it. The whole meal which serves 4 was a steal for $30.00! Ohh and they even included Catanzo rolls for the pork! Yum!!
