There is a lot of parking outside (street parking) and there are meters during the day FYI. Bring quarters. The place is so nice and cozy. Maybe 60 people fit or so but it is a nice place for a smaller occasion. Perfect for a baby shower, communion or sweet 16. About 30 mins from NYC which was convenient for NYers. I'm pretty sure when you rent the hall, its just the hall and you have to provide everything else. I highly recommend this place it is so cute.

Being that this…read morewas my first time I'm not sure if it's always like this, but the waiters were extremely attentive I didn't skip a beat. We were treated like royalty. We got a table for 5 and were immediately greeted by our server who preceded to take our beverage orders. Then we were served an anti-pasta plate consisting of olives, hard Italian salami and cheese along with warm bread and butter. This was delightful as I was starving. The specials were too many to remember but I ordered the Seabass over greens. The fish was extremely tender and the lemon garlic sauce complemented the greens and the fish perfectly. Others had the seafood risotto, lobster salad and sausage over broccoli rabe. Everything was delicious and our waiter was fantastic and attentive. This was honestly one of the best sea basses I've had in a while. The owner even popped over to say hello, which was very thoughtful. I was a little confused by the vibe of the inside, even though it was gorgeous. Super sky high ceilings, large windows, a large wraparound bar, and plush seating. I feel it lens itself more to friends or work event dinners versus a date night.

Our bank had an employee appreciation party here…read more The first hour or so we were in the lobby area by the bar as this is what they called the cocktail hour. Then they moved us into another room for the appetizers and drinks. Afterwards they moved us to another room, and I thought that they would serve us food but instead it was just for people to chat. After an hour or so, they let us go into a room to grab food from the buffet which they did not serve a lot of food. I think they could have had a little bit more food to serve to a company that has over 100 people attending. The entire event was all right, but it could have been better. The place was neat and clean with no garbage anywhere as they had staff members come and collect the silverware and garbage. The music was decent, but I think it could have been better. Overall: If this is paid by a company then it is ok to attend; but if you want to come here by yourself then it is not worth the 45-minute drive.

They set up a stage for you and have plenty of colorful napkins to match your theme. They have all inclusive deals per person which I love and that also is with or without alcohol. They also have kind of like a balcony type area where if you have a DJ they can set up their equipment. Or you can have people go there who give speeches. Super great area. Next I have to harp about the food. I personally did no tasting here so I was just going on trust that the food would be good. For apps we got paneer pakora which were a huge hit. People are still raving about it! Also the malai chicken is delicious. For main the baigan ka bhartha (eggplant dish) was just as good as my mom's. Also the chicken tandoori is still being talked about too! Overall this was an awesome place to have our engagement party and if anyone is thinking about renting a space out with delicious Indian food... This is the place to do it!

He was very communicative--even with the 13 hour time difference, I was able to coordinate with him easily. I had my husband be taken out of the house three hours before the party to set up... the balloon arch was delivered right on time. The photographer showed up half an hour earlier than the party. The magician I wanted to hire was booked somewhere else and I only found out a few days before, but the balloon sculpture artist Mark recommended instead was an absolute hit with the kids as well as the adults, which was a pleasant surprise. He made my husband the most outrageous birthday hat. Right when he was supposed to be done, one of the kids tripped and popped his balloons and got upset, and he stayed longer to make him (and a few other stragglers) more balloons. Truly kind. The photographer David was also really so helpful, friendly, and on it! He came early and helped with some of the set up... he was attentive and also very nice to talk to. Very natural (sometimes it's awkward when a photographer's in your face taking pictures but it wasn't awkward at all). We got a USB full of pictures right after the party! Really, what a great experience. My husband had a really great time. Thank you Mark and company!

I was very surprised that the room was already set up for the following night. I guess they didn't have any other events planned. I had a hard time finding the place and I had to text the groom to let me in since the door is locked. The doors weren't locked the night of the wedding so all the guests were able to get inside without any issue. The layout of the room was nice. There was a balcony in the next floor to overlook the room and was used for the DJ and photo booth. I'm not sure of the different options that the hall provides. We had a lot of alcohol! There was no cocktail hour and the food was surveyed buffet style. There was basically no service staff but at least there was water on the table. The food was very good and the bartenders did a good job even though at one point I was outside and the bartender was hanging out with us for a while while the other bartender was likely extremely busy.

I believe there were 10 tables that seat 10 and there was still plenty of room to dance, to support a main mom table, snack table, bar area. There was a separate restroom for the ballroom. There was a breath taking chandelier in the middle of the room The DJ situated himself on the balcony. Both sides of the room have a staircase which is perfect for a wedding or sweet 16. I am not sure on the cost but I thought I heard it was reasonable. We parked in the lot across the street. I wish I took more pictures. I was really shocked that this beautiful place was hidden in the center of town.

It could have been a bit crispier. ++++ Lentil Soup that was served with our entrees was very good. It didn't come out hot, but instead lukewarm, however it was very flavorful. ++++ Chicken Parmigiana was hugeeeeee! It was 1 gynormous piece of breaded chicken on a plate to itself! The linguine was on its own side plate. The chicken parm was fantastic though - lots of sauce, crispy exterior and delicious. ++++ Filet of Sole stuffed with Crab Meat was exactly how I like it, stuffffed to the gills with crab meat! It was basically a giant crab cake wrapped with a filet of sole and it was mmm mmmm good. It came with a vegetable medley and a round potato croquette. ++++ Surf and Turf was to my liking, but not my better half's. The steak was requested at medium, but it was definitely medium rare. I was perfectly fine with it, but not my wife. The lobster tail was excellent though. ++++ Ricotta Pistachio Cheesecake was delicious! Very soft and different than your average solid cheesecake. Get it! + Restaurant is suppppper spacious with 2 dining rooms and lots of tables. + Huge parking lot all around the restaurant. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Undercooked steak mentioned above was a semi-biggie. It was rarer than we preferred. - Small mishap with our entree starters where we asked for 2 Lentil soups, but they gave us 2 salads instead. - Service was slowwwwwwww throughout our Christmas Eve dinner. -------The waiters were definitely busy, but we spent 2+ hours here for dinner and the time between dishes was much longer than we're used to at other restaurants. ---- Everyone was pleasant to us, but we did feel a bit of bias towards other customers - as in food was dropped off at our table and then the waiter would jet away, while at other tables there seemed to be a lot more mingling going on between the waiter and the customers. Not sure if it was because we had kids with us or other factors. ---- Not one time did anyone come by to check on how we were doing or if our dishes were to our liking. MIXED THOUGHTS --------------------------- = The food sort of - mentioned above. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = We arrived at 6PM and dined till 8:15PM on Christmas Eve and the restaurant was busy, but not overly so. We made a reservation, but there were plenty of open tables. = They served from a condensed Holiday menu for Christmas Eve. CONCLUSION -------------------- = The food was up and down, but mostly up for me. Service was disappointing to say the least - not because they weren't friendly to us, but just because of the speed and the lack of attention. Still a solid restaurant and they have quite a large menu, if you're not here on a holiday.
