I'm guessing that's because their catering prices must be very reasonable. Plus. they do have a decent-sized parking lot. As for the food, it's decent (not a resounding endorsement, I know). I wouldn't classify it as high-end or anything but most items are nicely prepared and pretty filling (buffet). Last weekend, we were here a reception and a few of tiles on the floor of the large hall on the main level were loose. One tile at the tail end of the buffet line was so bad that when several guests - including me - stepped on it, it would tilt upward and cause you to lose your balance a little. Someone pointed it out to the staff but I don't think they did or could fix it right then and there. I did also notice that some of the table covers were a little dirty. Not what you want to see when you're attending a semi-formal occasion. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect clean/white linens, especially when it's for a special occasion. At the buffet, the only silverware they had out were forks. I know most of the items are easily edible with just a fork but when you have items such as (very) bony goat curry, a knife would help get some of that meat off. I'm sure some folks - especially those with small kids - could have also used a spoon. I'm not trying to nitpick but I found it odd that you can't at least have the option of multiple utensils. I wouldn't rush here for a meal but wouldn't decline coming for another such gathering in the future.

Im walking away with $80 back from my deposit because of a small amount of confetti that me and my people were cleaning because Bryanna said we had to clean so we stayed till after 11 cleaning not partying no music playing anyone sweeping and throwing things away. Bryanna said leave it we will take care of the rest. I woke up the next day to an email requesting $170 for staying past 11pm to clean up after they told us too and $60 fee to clean confetti. They really played games with me. Bryanna came to me on more than 1 occasion while my party was going on and not once did she saying anything about the confetti or that after 11 we in the building we will be charged. They made us stay later to charge us $110 for over time. This scamming ass place needs to be stopped. I asked 5 times were we good before we left and Bryanna said yes. Moral of the story if it seems to good to be true it is. How the hell clean up not apart of $1850 SMH Don't let them get over on you !!!!

I triple checked I was getting on the right train this time after having incidents arise when traveling to Long Island. After that, it was like a $4 lyft ride over. The views are breathtaking and by the water. They had a really nice set up for the ceremony under an arch outside. Inside was where the party and festivities were held. Hold on - the bathrooms. I need to talk about how great the bathrooms are here. They have little baskets with like towelettes to remove makeup, hair tie things (people like me lose these ALL the time), breathe fresheners, like I'm pretty sure an emergency sewing kit, tampons, pads, cologne, the whole nine yards was stowed away in the ladies bathroom. Get on it. The wedding couple decided on doing this with a full buffet spread before the actual ceremony and a cocktail hour. Interesting. I've never been to a wedding before where they feed you twice. Maybe an appetizer cocktail hour but this was a full huge spread. There were plenty of options for everyone. I was drawn to the sushi and cheese tables as more than others because I didn't want to kill myself with stuffing my face beforehand. Fresh salmon, different kinds of lasagnas, beef goulash, etc. The actual meals they prepare here - eh. I went with the beef and wasn't impressed but there were little additions like 'make your own blinis with fresh caviar, sour cream & lox'. Pinch me now. Every table had their own red wine and vodka bottle chilled on ice. Yes, this was a half Russian wedding. The alcohol choices were fantastic up at the bar and the bartenders were great with also making up drinks when we were indecisive but I mostly stuck to gin/vodka for the night. Really nice addition that the venue provides are desert cordial shots. Little cups of chocolate filled with a liquor of your choice. I think I was the first person to discover the table being set up and stood there for the remainder of the night. I don't go to too many weddings but I was impressed by the venue. Anything by water you really can't go wrong with just don't ask me how much any of this cost.

I just attended a wedding here, and I honestly can't imagine any aspect of the experience that…read morecould have been improved. It was that good. Let's start with the grounds and the room. Our event started off on the first floor and ended up in the large ballroom upstairs, both rooms were absolutely beautiful. We also had access to the outdoors space on both levels, and that was gorgeous as well, with some very striking waterfront views. Simply put, the food was amazing. The cocktail hour alone could have served as a meal. There was a central station of cold appetizers - think meats, cheeses, and crudties. All around the room, and outside on the deck were a half dozen food stations- carving stations, raviolis and sausages and chicken, seafood and pasta, even sushi. All were terrific, I give high marks for the lobster and mushroom raviolis. Dinner service started with a "Duet of Pasta" plate, and a dressed salad. As for the dinner entrees, would you believe a choice of SEVEN entrees?? I kid you not -- seven entrees - salmon, chicken, pork, beef, shrimp, Surf and Turf, and Vegetable Lasagne. My table had just about all of the choices, and everything disappeared. After the meal, there was a brownie ice cream sundae and a cordial bar. All of the people I interacted with, the hosts, the bartenders, the servers and the clearers were super polite and friendly. When I think about the decor, the scenery, the food, and the service, this was a top notch experience, Well Done, Venetian.

We had approximately 80 people downstairs for a Kiwanis event in a nice size room with another attached area for the cocktail hour. We also used that room for the Buffet, and ultimately a group picture at the end of the night. This was an event focused on young students. Our Kiwanis Club's were honoring these students for their outstanding achievement in school. With that in mind, we kept the food simple, so they were Quesadillas, Chicken Franchise, Penne à la vodka, and mixed vegetables. Everyone enjoyed all the food. Chicken was tender and tasty, Penne was cooked well with a tasty Vodka sauce and the Chicken Quesadillas were tasty and cooked well. Apparently they do an outstanding job with whatever they serve. I always look forward coming back to this venue for what I know will be a great event. KUDOs to the team at Metropolitan Caterers.

I have performed at and attended attended countless community events at multiple venues across New York & across the states. Let me start by saying out of all my experiences this was the best experience working with a venue. Nobody manages a venue and leads a team like Mr. Raj and his entire team do. They were an absolute dream for my childhood friend to work with for her fairytale wedding. Raj worked closely with the bride & her family to ensure all aspects of the wedding were covered to perfection. He treats his clients like family. He made sure to attend to every phone call, meeting with the family whenever necessary & he didn't miss a SINGLE BEAT! Even with planning a last minute COVID wedding! If you're looking for outstanding delivery for your special event look no further, do not hesitate to book this hall. Catering/Food was outstanding! Delicious desi halal food was accommodated for the guests and special dishes/entree for the bride & groom which Raj personally ensured to set up! All of our family and friends were left in awe. Their tiered cake was a bliss! Decorations were absolutely phenomenal as you can tell from the photos. Mr. Raj went above and beyond to deliver extravagant decor for the hall! The bride so badly wanted a flower bed for her entrance which was specifically built for her special day as provided by Raj. The elaborate centerpieces speak for themselves! He added a tasteful touch with the bride & groom's initials on the grass wall amongst other details. He specially had a divider made as requested for the Nikkah ceremony from gorgeous flowers at the sweetheart table. Execution was a 1000% on point! Every detail was taken care of-- small and big. Raj definitely went out of his way to take care of the bride and her family. He catered to every single request made and absolutely went to larger extents than imagined to make this day special for both the bride and groom as well as their families. His entire team was hardworking, attentive and efficient! Above all, Raj and his wife are absolute gems of individuals with only positive energy and the best interest at heart for whomever books with them. His experience and expertise in the industry speak for itself and reflects in his work as he pays attention to understanding your needs and makes the best suggestions! This is not the first event at his venues I have worked with him for and I have seen nothing but professionalism and simply perfection every single time.

Minus one star !!! Apparently this happens over here a lot .... read some of their reviews .... As you walk in this place it is very nice & clean & classy looking; the kids reception room was beautiful and set up real nice; loved the lighting & loved the decor !!! The dishes, glasses & utensils were spotless!!! Loved the bride & grooms game of thrones chairs !!! Plus One Star !! The Bar Service; thank God the kids opted for open bar; we had two bars set up on both sides of the room; the bartenders on both sides made awesome drinks all night long !! They hit em hard the way I like it .... lol !!! Plus One Star !! Tip; drink up and get a Lil twisted because your in form a very long wait for food... The House DJ; played awesome old school music all night long & kept everyone on the dance floor !!! Plus One Star !!! Would hire him for a future parties !! FYI; he had no cards so his loss !!! Cocktail hour consisted of just two items; chicken teriyaki on a stick & a mini Jamaican patty ?!&??? Both Jetro & a resturant Depot frozen food items !! Horrible !!! Minus One Star !!! The Salad; Garden Salad nice n fresh but nothing special .... Main Course; mind you it was now 5:20pm and we just got our dinners .... the affair was supposed to be over @ 6pm !!! omg ... we all were starving we had already ate all our dinner rolls and the cookies that were our favors !!!! Minus one star !!! This was a sit down dinner and we were just about 100 people .... they clearly have issues in their kitchen with expediting orders !!! We watched servers actually bring one dinner out at a time !!! Then we saw a cart roll out with maybe just 10 dinners at a time .... honestly I've worked in catering halls for many years I know when there's a problem in the kitchen ..... maybe under staffed but in my opinion this Cook needs a lot of help with everything ..... Minus One Star !! Notice regarding main course; just about our entire table went with the Prim rib; we had to change our prime rib to Chicken Francaise need I say more .... When ordering our Prime Rib we were told we could not get it rare or medium rare ???? Right there we should have see the smoke signals !! Attention; our Prime Rib was not sent back because of the meat was over cooked .... there was an issue with the meat .... I don't want to hurt this establishment we really wanted to have an awesome experience over here all the way around ... All the years eating Prime Rim at weddings we've never had issues with Prime Rib ..... if it's a choice it's always good !! In my opinion .... Most of the servers were very polite including the manager he was so apologetic and couldn't do enough for us ..... From the reviews & pictures I see a lot of Buffett style being opted for..... maybe that's the way to go ... Also noticed that most of the parties here are for middle eastern affairs and their menu choices clearly shows it ... As far as Italian American affairs they need work very short on delivery in regards to the food .... If you noticed the 3 Stars are for the hall decor, the bar & their house dj...... I yelp responsibly...... I don't yelp to hurt business but definitely to give potential customers a heads up !!! I wish this place the best of luck to get their kitchen staff & cooks up to a Five Star rating !!!! They deserve it this place is beautiful !!
