I've attended a few different events at Victorian Garden and each one was nothing less than…read moreabsolutely flawless! The staff was so attentive and thoughtful throughout each event, food was some of the best and most authentic I've ever had, and the hall itself was always so clean and well kept. I would recommend this hall, the staff, the owners, ALL of it to anyone looking to host any event. Whether it's a big event like a wedding or smaller like a baby shower (I've been to both at this hall lol), the venue is a perfect size and the event is always treated with intention and care. 10/10!!

This place is so great. I had my henna night and my wedding here. The place isn't huge, but it was…read morea good size for the number of guests I had. The place has new owners who were so great and helped my husband and me out with everything we needed. They gave some recommendations on decorators that we actually ended up hiring. The food was delicious, the service was outstanding, and I could not have asked for anything better. I'll post pics soon.

It's savoury, very flavourful, well prepared, and nicely presented. On this visit, our group sat on their spacious patio, recently opened for the season. Our evening started with cocktails and live entertainment. Refreshing. Great start! That was followed by their delicious appetizers and mains, all beautifully presented. * Pani Puri * Vegetable Tandoori Momo * Vegetable Steamed Momo * Chilli Chicken Momo * Wai Wai Sadeko * Dragon Chicken * Chilli Paneer * Chilli Chicken * Sekuwa Chicken * Vegetable Chow Mein * Vegetable Thakali Thali * Mutton Thakali Thali Our choices included veg and non-veg selections and we enjoyed every bite. Everything was flavourful and more than satisfying. Delicious! For special events, they have private banquet facilities on the lower level that can accommodate up to 150ppl. It includes dining tables, bar, a stage, three large projection screens, sound system, buffet setup, and washrooms. It's perfect for special occasions or business meetings.

So authentic food, amazing ambience, great customer service. Definitely we will visit again once in…read morethe area.

A number of failures: Small amount of desserts were gone in no time and not replenished "Imported cheeses and home made cookies" appeared to be store bought Coffee urn went missing The small container of dip with the veggie platter emptied quick and was not replaced The tea sandwiches were poor - no one even wanted to take home the leftovers! The bartender was grinding for tips even though a 15% gratuity was included in the bar tab. For the price I expected better R Hodgins

Very disappointed. The venue itself had enough space, was clean, the food was good and the kitchen…read morestaff were helpful. There was however a lot left to be desired in every other way. We did have some last minute number changes which was on us, but the venue staff were outwardly rude and hostile about changes. We came to set up Friday and there was no toilet paper in the washroom, and they held another meeting in our decorated space. The DJ booth situation was crazy. The venue rented out a package and did not know how to use it...the package should include specs required for people running their own music. DJ booth is not compatible with windows...they were told they needed a lap top and that was it so there were huge issues with that. The venue people were not well versed in their equipment, as they were unsure how to dim the lights when we asked and they needed to be reminded to turn onthe lighting package that was purchased. Even provided with a schedule staff were still pestering guests and the couple throughout the evening. Unfortunately, toward the end of the evening we were told to shut down as a guest procured outside alcohol. We understand this HOWEVER the man in charge of the venue manhandled the Bride even though we were attempting to clear out. Completely and utterly unprofessional and uncalled for. Lucky you are getting a 2 and that is for the good food and helpful wait staff.

Came here for their dining domes. I couldn't find the dining domes on Yelp so since it is located…read morein Deer Creek I'll post a review here. This is a great concept, I couldn't get a reservation in the evening, but I came for lunch and was surprised by the service and food. The domes inside was significantly warmer, they also have a heater and will bring you a heated blanket. Lunch menu includes kids meal with paying adult which is nice. My hubby got gumbo and I got the braised short ribs. Both meal was great, a little on the saltier side. The kids had corn dog and Mac and cheese bites with fries, I also ordered their special hot chocolate for them. The service was great and we all really enjoyed the experience here. This is their second year doing this and you can tell they put a lot of effort into making it look nice with the lights and everything. Great concept!

Our three course meal included a deconstructed Caesar Salad, a duo of Braised Beef Short Rib and Herb Basted Chicken Breast, served with potatoes and vegetables. For dessert, we had Classic NY Cheesecake. The food was good, with nice flavours and presentation. The venue was nice and spacious, with LOTS of room for mingling. The service was excellent throughout. It was a good evening, far better than my previous visit.

Came here last night for an engagement party…read more Driving up to this place.. It was easy to spot and parking was available a plenty. Brownie points. It's not a huge place but it's pretty decent for fitting 60people and/or for a small event. Inside, I felt like I was walking into a time warp. Specifically around 1840 resembling a brothel in Pakistan. UGLY! (I was tempted to end my review with this. So to be fair I should explain) The "hall" (if I could even call it that) is split into 2 sides with about 9 tables on each side. Middle portion was the dance floor leading to the mini stage decorated with rich curtains and antique looking props to give it the "vintage" look. (They need not try so hard) certain corners of the wall there is serious paint peeling sessions and the staff come around with sour faces and gloves on. Imagine how I feel when I see a staff pick up my plate with gloves on!. What does that say about this place? tsk tsk. SHE NEEDS TO MOISTURIZE HER HANDS! - that is what it says.. AND that this place is poorly managed with clear signs of neglect. Opposite the stage is the "buffet" table. This was by far the saddest sight to have ever witnessed. No word of a lie, it looked WORST than a soup kitchen. The ladies behind the aluminium table had ladles with the smallest portions to give out. The dinner was served around 10pm. Nice move forcing people to stay. Moments like this is when it pays to be fashionably late. :p Perhaps the biggest shock was how respectable the bathroom was. Hmm.. I truly expected worst and slowly remembered the quote " don't judge a book by it's cover"... even if the covers eaten by mold and smells funny? Because with decay there's little tiny holes I can see through.. so technically I wouldn't be judging.. I'd be giving an educated guess. No? Overall, I would NOT recommend this place under any circumstances. I don't care how little you can afford... SAVE IT! host a BBQ at a park if you must. At least with less expectations people won't feel so bad dressing up. xoxo M.
