He allowed me a tour of the venue so I could see how much space I was working with. On the night of the event, he made sure I had plenty of space for all my gear, he had a stage for me, and he even had room for me to store all of my extra gear. In my 20 year DJ career, I've performed at hundreds of venues. But with Rashad? He definitely takes care of you and made me feel right at home. He's got a really fun venue for those midsize parties! Definitely check it out if you're in the Norman area and consider supporting this local business owner!

Thank you Rashad for allowing us to celebrate our mother at Up Together Venue!

There are plenty of chairs and tables inside to sit in, but The Depot fills up fast - especially with tourists. If you want to relax before your train ride to Fort Worth or OKC, get there early. HOWEVER. This is an Amtrak station. And Amtrak is notorious (I mean *notorious,* people) for their trains being late. When I dropped my boyfriend off at the train station last time, they were 40 minutes late. Not cool. Especially when their site still said the original arrival time and hadn't been updated. This isn't The Depot's fault, but The Depot and Amtrak are linked, so that's why I'm docking a star. Amtrak is late because they have to share the railways with Santa Fe, but SURELY there's a way to know when (at least within 10 minutes) the train will be there, and surely there's a way to let your passengers know. As a customer, there's not much to be done, as it's not like you have a choice as to where to pick up a train to Fort Worth that will ever be on time.

Yet, from first bite to last bite, it was really satisfying in terms of flavor and balance of ingredients. While it may not be a "Hungry Man" sized sandwich, it is deceptively filling. Great sandwich overall. No additional notes. The space is interesting. Again, not what I was expecting, but the restaurant also has a large outdoor music venue and live music seems to be a common thing.

Came here over the weekend for a wedding (and the reception was here too). It's surrounded by sort…read moreof a rustic looking atmosphere. Like there's a silo (I think that's what it is?) right outside the venue and also train tracks right outside too. It definitely feels like you are in a more or less secluded area, even though it's very much still in Edmond. The ground outside the venue was mostly large gravel up closest to the entrance, and small gravel further away (like where most people ended up parking). It wasn't the most level ground, which made it a bit difficult for those of us in high heels! It also didn't help that it had rained earlier that day, so there were tons of puddles... so many that you could barely avoid stepping in dirty water, not to mention the wetness paired with the gravel paired with tall shoes just made for a slightly wobbly walk inside. Not the worst thing ever, but if I were the venue, I'd definitely consider paving more of the ground outside to counteract this! There is a small deck type thing out of the front. They have stairs and also a ramp up to this deck which leads to the front door entrance. Inside was smaller than I expected it to be, but it definitely fit everyone that came to the wedding and the reception. It has sort of a mix of the cute country vibe and the fancy warehouse vibe thing going on. I believe you could see the bricks inside, and there were also barn doors on the windows just for example. There was a small balcony in the back. From what I could tell the only way to get up to the balcony was by stairs. Then through a hallway in the back they also have bathrooms and a groomsmen room and bridesmaids room. Because the ceremony and reception were both here, we had to all go outside to wait for them to switch from rows of chairs to tables. I'm not sure if the venue itself was in charge of doing this, or some outside third party, but it didn't take too long (maybe 10-15 minutes). Luckily, we had food and a coffee bar to keep us occupied while waiting for this switch.

Make sure to check the OU sports schedule before reserving your spot. OU football, basketball, softball and baseball games will slow your trip to a crawl because of traffic. It's also a bed and breakfast so you can always plan a staycation and avoid the traffic altogether. We've eaten there twice in the last 30 days and I'll include pictures and dishes from both trips. I chose it for the destination of my birthday and none of the 8 guests complained about the drive but all raved about the food. Instead of discussing each and every dish in detail like I normally do (this review would take many pages) I can say without reservation that you simply cannot go wrong with any choice. The soups are silky smooth and packed with flavor. I had the mushroom soup as a special on a previous trip and the taste was from the ground fresh. It must have been made with fresh mushrooms and herbs. The soup on this particular night was a creamy tomato bisque that was velvety smooth and amazing. I've had the House Salad and Caesar Salad. Both are fantastic. The former is a wonderful combination of greens with a light champagne vinaigrette that pairs perfectly. A "simple" Caesar salad is difficult to make but they've got it right. On this occasion I had the filet mignon; juicy, tender and the perfect temperature. I've also had the chicken and pork dishes which were wonderful. My husband has had the salmon and lamb, so I've tasted them and found them to be very good. The rack of lamb has a reduction sauce that would make drywall palatable. On this night I had the chocolate tort while a few others chose the crème brûlée and bread pudding. Pictures are unable to convey the the chef's mastery. I can't find the receipt and can't remember our server's name, shame on me. She handled our table of nine as easily as if it were a table of two. Her skill made a difficult job look easy. Don't worry about the distance. Highway 9 is a well-paved, four-lane highway. The restaurant is only about four miles east of I-35 and is an easy drive. My only suggestion is to check the OU sports schedule. I can also recommend spending the night and enjoying a room.

Don't let the name fool you. This is a wonderful place to stay…read more - Great staff, - friendly service - nice rooms - great courtyard with fire pit - nice restaurant - amazing breakfast!! We had stayed here in the past and decided to give it another go. Glad we did. We were in town to see our child graduate from OU. The staff is very friendly and accommodating willing to help in anyway, making sure your stay is pleasant. Though we didn't eat at the restaurant, we did have drinks and sat out in the courtyard. What we love best is the breakfast the next morning. Variety of different breakfast items along with fresh fruit. The kitchen is very clean. And the staff is very nice! We look forward to coming here again!!! hopefully during football season. Though the room rate will be a little more, it's still well worth it. To the staff: Thanks again for a great stay!!

There is an area with a desk, microwave, coffee maker and refrigerator. The coffee maker didn't work. That's ok, because there were coffee machines throughout the facility and Starbucks. The highlight for me was the food. The buffet was pretty good. This week I saw pizza, spaghetti, prime ribs, BBQ ribs, chicken, very good breakfast options, burgers, steak and great sides. There is a bar area with amazing bartenders and social activities during the week. The facility has pool tables, a gym, massage room and great fitness area. I came when it was a little cool, but I did get a peek at the pool. The lobby area had lots of chairs. The training rooms were nice. There were some technical issues with some of the rooms. That was the only thing that I would recommend improving. I would definitely love to come back. The staff were so attentive and very helpful. I was really impressed.

They don't rush you to finish tasting, Bella (the dog) wanders up to help you finish your crackers,,, if you let her,,,, they talk and tell you all about the wines, how they were chosen, how they should taste, and what to pair them with. They remember us even though we are only there once a year, and when Rick sent the case we purchased home to us, he also sent a sweet note thanking us for our patronage. We had a blast singing last year and they even brought me on stage to sing ! I had such a wonderful time and wish I could come back more frequently. I LOVE this place. I wish I could give more than 5 stars.
