We attended The Falls 25th anniversary event which happened to be on St Pats day. It caught my…read moreattention because one of our favorite local bands was playing at the event. They advertised it as free admission with cash bar and food. I reserved a table for 10. Arriving at the event we learned that the tables actually weren't reserved and only sat 8 people. Ha. We had arrived in plenty of time to get a good table and pull up a couple of chairs. No problem. Cash bar was staffed by experienced people who provided great service. The St Pats day food was served buffet style- we kept looking for a place to pay for our food but it was free! And quite frankly delicious. Corned beef, cabbage and potatoes served stew style. Cornbread or French bread, Ham and bean soup also served. Cupcakes for dessert. Another bonus was the band starting early. Woo hoo. One suggestion for management- seek out better quality of wine. I know Wild Sun is happy to work with you on that. (No I am not affiliated with them at all I just heard Mark say that)

Not a huge deal, but undesirable when you're trying to enjoy a meal Turns out, the meal was not enjoyable because 2 of the side dishes were cold! Not lukewarm, cold! Ruined the whole meal I mentioned same to the manager whose reply was "hmm, I was the last one to eat and mine was not cold" Well everyone at my table agreed that 2 items on their plate was not warm at all. Did the manager think I was making up a story ????? Further convo resulted in no offer to talk to the kitchen staff in order to prevent this from happening again, just a terse "sorry" I will not be back

We attended a wedding reception at Tuner Hall last night. I'm a city girl and try not to expect too…read moremuch from a small town venue. The outside is completely unassuming and reminiscent of a VFW Hall. The inside is far from that. The bar is right inside the door. The bartenders were friendly and worked quickly to get drinks into the hands of party goers. Inside the hall was absolutely beautiful and spacious with a sizable dance floor (huge plus for me). And let's talk about the food. There was fried chicken, roast beef and mashed potatoes, mostaccoli, corn, green beans, and a house salad. I'm telling you what, this is going to be one of the most memorable wedding meals for years to come. The food was perfectly done and well seasoned and full of flavor. If you're lucky enough to host an event here, or be a guest at one you definitely won't leave hungry or disappointed.

This is a great unique hotel somewhat off the beaten path but close to everything you need or want…read moreat a reasonable price. First there is the name which give you a hint of the vibe, an old school reimagined as a boutique hotel. The school themed decor follows through from the minute you walk in the door to your room. The designers thoughtfully left many elements of the school and incorporated them perfectly. The rooms are spacious and well thought out too. Beds are comfortable bathrooms are well lit (hard to find in hotels) and every space is exceptionally clean. I stayed on a Monday so the restaurant was not open but no worries there are a number of good restaurant choices within a 2 block walk. The only issue is a minor one that wouldn't matter if you don't work out when traveling. The workout room only has one elliptical machine, 2 treadmills and a few weights. The elliptical was a brand I was not familiar with and I wasn't able to get it going to use. The space is small but large enough to add a bike or another elliptical. I would love to find more hotels like this when traveling for work, it would make it more fun. I would definately stay here if I come through again. I can see where this would be a fun place to host an event.

Genesis is a great place to host a party. I have helped in the planning for three different parties…read moreat Genesis and all have been wonderful! The service is stellar! The office staff is so welcoming and friendly when you are in the party planning stages. They are thorough and organized with their planning process. The staff walk you through each step and they have so many options. I have tried several different menu options and each time the food has been delicious. The most recent food was a luncheon with croissant sandwiches, broccoli, pasta and fruit salad. The day of the event, the staff was again super accommodating, friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The only things I would change is that the bartender put out a tip jar at the bar when we had already tipped in advanced. This was kind of tacky for our guests, especially since we already tipped prior to the event. So, maybe check ahead with staff about this. It caught us off guard in the moment that the tip jar was out. Other than the minor tip jar issue, we were pleased with everything else Genesis offered. A great banquet hall!

My husband and I were looking for a reception venue for our July wedding that would fit our needs…read morein every way imaginable and Genesis Banquet Hall did just that. Nestled in South County, the banquet center sits across from Jefferson Barracks National Park. Our first look at Genesis, the staff was very friendly and walked us through what they imagined our reception would be like. We booked for a Friday night shortly after that. They call to remind you about payments, decisions etc. We had to make some special plates to due some of our guests dietary requirements and they were very willing and helpful to do so. When I realized it would not work out for me to set up the reception, I simply took everything in to show them and they had me set up a sample of each thing and they would handle the rest. They went beyond my expectations! The food was phenomenal. We had gone to a wedding at this particular location 2 months prior to ours, and that allowed us to decide what we wanted and didn't want as a part of our wedding meal. Due to the popularity of the venue, you cannot have them clean up your reception and pick up the items the next day, you are expected to take it all with you that night. However they will help you take it all down and pack it wherever it is going. They are very reasonable with their rates and pricing and will work with your budget. Genesis operates several different locations and at several other venues due to their catering services. I would definitely use them again and recommend them to whomever is needing a good spot for a party.

I can't begin to explain what a great spot this is!…read more It is dog friendly, it is wide open and beautiful, it has lots of live music, it is run by a family that is so very nice, and it is super affordable and tastes great! You can get a flight of wines for $5 or a glass of wine or a pint of beer for $5 each. You can even do a tour and tasting for $10. Plus, all the bottles are pretty much under $25. And they have quite a large variety of whites, reds, and roses too. Cindy, one of the owners, is so very friendly and helpful. She will go through an entire tasting with you with the highest level of patience, allowing you to taste and try anything you'd like to. Her brother-in-law also Is a gem, he himself Popsicles to all of the kids running around and let them ride on the tractor or explore into the garden. Would highly recommend if you are in the area!

Arthur was the live music for the day and he played a great variety of songs (acoustic guitar). The wine is fantastic. I do not know a lot about wine, but I do know that each one we tasted (6) was very easy to drink. We shared a bottle there and I brought 2 home. Bonus: you can bring your own snacks (no beverages). I love this. I enjoy planning my own winery snacks. I was bummed when many wineries quit allowing food because they opened kitchens. So if I have to pay $30+ for food. I'm buying less wine. Anywaaaay, make a little weekend out of visiting this area and have a lovely time at Edg Clif. (Photos do not do it justice)
