Also the complimets we heard is about the staff and we agree. The staff was not only quick and efficient, you had no idea that they were there.

After dinner, you can spend the rest of the evening partying the ballroom. They offer all the services, (or can recommend) you need when planning a wedding. For us and our guests, it was super convenient and easier to have everything for the wedding in one beautiful setting. The food, the hor's d'oeuvres, and entrees was amazing. There's also a huge bar attended by professional bartenders. The food servers were friendly, professional and very attentive. We received so many compliments from our guests on both the food and service. Many said that was the best food they ever had at a wedding! So, if you're looking for a top notch, First Class venue to have your wedding, look no further then Cefalos.

Before we went, I was super excited to eat their sandwich because we had heard good things about it!! When we arrived, others had ordered the fish and it looked amazing and was huge. I ordered my fish sandwich, and so did the rest of our table. It was okay, but just ok. It was not as good as I expected it to be or how it looked to be. It is a beer battered cod (which is my favorite) but it's really lacking the beer battered part. The batter used seems extremely thin on the fish. The proportion of fish to batter was absolutely lacking. Some parts of my fish sandwich were really thick too which I don't prefer. The fish was really watery/slimy too. It caused the bun to be soggy. The fish almost had an uncooked/slimy taste/texture to the thicker parts of the fish. I think it could have been cooked longer (was cooked enough to eat, but not fully to take away the slime factor). The fries were really good though and the food did come out extremely hot! The wings were very good though. Would get those again. We got the buffalo wings and weren't disappointed!

This is a lovely venue for events such as weddings, showers, dinner/holiday parties and similar events. Located on Banksville Road it's easy to get there by car, bus, trolley, etc. They have an area called Backstage at The Boiler Room which is home to live music performances. The lobby is lovely and elegant. Heated four seasons porch, courtyard with fire pits, fountains and more. Food is standard fare for banquet hall facility.

After being there, I just have to let people know what they are missing out on! First of all, there is ample parking, a rarity in Pittsburgh. Second, location. Just outside the Fort Pitt tunnels and slightly down Banksville Road, it is minutes away from the city, seconds from two hotels, and within 45 minutes to an hour of the airport. (Note: If you are going for the first time, be aware that it is not on Banksville Road proper, but on an extension behind the Days Inn.) Now for the space itself. The parking lot is slightly rugged, but I think the overall ambiance makes up for that, especially since they offer valet parking. There is a sweet little gazebo on the lower outer level, which looks as if it could be a great photo spot. The upstairs features a ballroom with a raised platform, a multi-use room with a beautiful marble bar (and efficient bartenders), and a stunning covered porch area. There are screens throughout which can be used for slideshows or, as we used them, to keep updated on the Oscars throughout the evening. I did not get to look at the downstairs area, but given the quality of the rest of the venue, I'm certain it would not disappoint. I thoroughly enjoyed my evening at this venue and will keep it mind for future event needs!

There were individually plated salads with either ranch or homemade Italian dressing and rolls with butter. Everything was extremely clearly labeled as to dietary restrictions and even allergies such as nuts. The service was truly took this place to the next level. There was a small bar offering both alcoholic beverages and soft drinks and even a mocktail option. Servers came around to our table constantly to clear dishes that were finished, fill water glasses and keep coffee hot. When my friend mentioned she had had an early start to the day and needed that coffee for her drive home, the server offered to get her one to go. Just phenomenal folks here.

Every hole was set up so neatly, with creative layouts, multiple drops, and thoughtful details that kept it fun the entire way through. I especially loved that they had an easier course for younger kids, which made it perfect for our children, and we also noticed the moving/more challenging course, which looked like something my husband and I would love to come back and try on our own. The seating areas placed along the way made it feel relaxing and enjoyable, and there was so much to look at that the whole experience felt special. One helpful thing to know before you go: it is cash only, so make sure you come prepared. It was $25 for 2 adults and 2 kids under 6.

I finally visited for the first time in late June and was pleasantly surprised at what a fun time we had. You can either register online prior to your arrival or you can use one of their ipads to register. Each player gets a golf ball that is individually coded to them. So it tracks every stroke you take (no cheating) and automatically adds the score (including bonus points on some holes). One nice thing is that you can skip around if there are lines at the holes. This is really helpful especially if you are there with a group. They also have tables throughout the course that let you place your drink down. You do need to pay attention to make sure you stay on your own course because the two courses are right next to each other. If your ball suddenly isn't registering, it is probably because you are on the wrong course. Food is pretty tasty (although a little overpriced). You can eat any time and they have an option that you can order food before you golf and have it ready for when you are done (but I imagine it could get difficult to try and time that correctly), There is metered street parking right outside and a large surface lot behind the building. Overall a fun place to take your family or a unique date night.

First of all, the little attached bar was unattended, so we were directed to go to the main bar to get drinks. It's a little inconvenient when you're bowling because then you have to wait on whomever left to get the drinks. The most disappointing thing was how the older man treated us! He seemed like he had a larger role than just an employee- not sure if he was a manager. At 12:30 on the dot he turned the light back on and shut our lane down in the middle of the game. I went to ask him if he could give us access to our lane and he looked back at the clock and said, "Your time is up." I responded that it says they are open until 1, in which he said, "Oh, did you see that online?" When I told him that yes, I saw it online he acted as if he was doing me a favor and told me that he "guesses" we can bowl until 1 then. MEANWHILE, there was a large group of people a few lanes down that were not being subjected to this behavior from this man! He didn't touch their lane! Soooo unprofessional... if the customer service improved it would definitely be a 4-5 star facility.

She apologized and told us she forgot, but instead of coming right over, she didnt come to the lane for several minutes. We spent the first half of the first game with two frustrated kids who really were done getting gutter balls. Then the same thing happened with our sodas. The drinks never came. Reminded the cashier.
