    This was taken at the reception house. Lights were provided for by Deja Vu.

    So my wedding came and went and my experience with The Reception House has been overall very positive. The days leading up the actual event was very chaotic and stressful and to be honest it wasn't very easy to reach a representative (I was out of town). We played phone tag almost every other day and we never received a table layout of the Garden Suite. I think there was some miscommunication of some of the details, and trust me, there were plenty of those for any wedding. However, in the end, the table arrangements worked out, I was able to communicate most of my ideas, and I always got a call back. I asked a LOT of questions and they have been patient and sweet enough to answer all of them. When someone was working with me, I always felt like priority even though there were probably other things and people waiting. Fast forward to the wedding. The day was a blur, but a lot of my friends said they loved how friendly the staff was. I worried people would be hungry between the hor dourves and the actual dinner, but the staff (especially the bartender, hahaha) kept the food and drinks coming. Many people told me how friendly and helpful the staff were that day. I really appreciated the staff keeping me informed of the important things, but left out the unnecessary information out (probably so I wouldn't freak out). I also lost a few items and they returned it to me by the end of the week. The best thing about this place is how flexible they are. My wedding started 30-45 min late (typical of most weddings) and they added that lost time at the end. Basically, the wedding was supposed to end at 11, but they extended it until past 11:30. I doubt most places would do this for you. Constructive criticism: 1. If you have more than 100 guests, have a sit-down instead of a buffet. The buffet line cut through the dance floor and so none of the guests were able to dance until everyone was seated. The Reception House should make this suggestion to clients. 2. I would not hire their baker. There were two bakers and I chose the new guy, who owned a bakery shop called Hot Breads. My review for this bakery is on their yelp page, but basically, I was disappointed the rolling fondant came out wrinkly and slanted. breakdown: menu: 4/5 I didn't really get to eat that day so I can't really comment. I liked the stuffed mushroom. I think some of the items I requested wasn't served that day. For instance, I requested potato skin, but got chicken strips (it's an upgrade in my opinion, so whatever) staff: 5/5 Super friendly. See above. They also let me use the space for a rehearsal the morning before for free. venue/decor: 5/5 They pruned and manicured the garden the day of.

    I just had my wedding on December 7, 2019 and I am beyond happy with my experience at Reception House! I was looking for an intimate, cozy venue with a rustic interior in a convenient location for my friends and family who mostly reside in Queens - Reception House checked off all of those boxes. Throughout the process, I communicated with the managers, Kristy & Rebecca, via KakaoTalk and they responded to all my questions in a timely manner. I absolutely loved how they decorated the venue for the night of the wedding. Our photos were tastefully hung/placed all over the venue which gave the wedding the charming, DIY feel that I wanted. Kristy & Rebecca provided exceptional service on the night of the wedding. They helped me change into my paebaek outfit and led the paebaek ceremony at no extra cost. They also helped me change into my hanbok and came to the rescue when we forgot to bring the petticoat for the hanbok. The both of them had a nice, calming presence that helped alleviate my stress from the chaos. Most importantly, my mom was very pleased with the service she received from the staff - they were particularly attentive to my parent's needs and I was appreciative of that. Last but not least, my guests raved about the food that was served. It was buffet style and catered by San Soo Kap San (across the street from the venue). At the end of the night, Kristy & Rebecca allowed us to come in the next day to pick up anything that we left at the venue and even gave us a small gift and gift card! Thank you to Kristy, Rebecca, and all the staff at Reception House for making our wedding such a beautiful, magical, and memorable event!

Some of the food was…read moretoo sweet, some good. 3/5 Shrimp balls w/ crispy milk amber sauce- too sweet but good otherwise 3/5 Braised dried scallop seafood thick soup- decent 3/5 Green vegetables northern mushroom whole head abalone- 1st time trying abalone, not sure how I feel abt it, it's firm 4/5 Ginger & scallion stir fried lobster- creamy, so good, but had a difficult time deshelling 3/5 Steamed live fish- ok, needs spices & seasoning imo but I prolly shuda dipped it in the sauce 5/5 Mixed fried rice- so good, love all the textures & variety of veggies & shrimp in every bite 3/5 Red bean jelly? Agar? - wish the red bean was less sweet, but loved the texture, so chewy

    Disgusting. Restaurant just looks like an empty retail space with fancy chairs to fill the gaps…read more Hotpot ordering system is poorly done. IPad menu but need to order with the waiter. Seafood quality is below average. The ice they use is unfiltered and leaves a horrible taste. The broths are hot MSG water. The beef was OK, but needed to order 2-3 times just to get one order. Service was lousy. Non meat options are pretty limited. The plating makes for nice pictures but that's it. I can only imagine their non hotpot options are just as poorly executed. Please let someone who cares use the space. I'm out $90. With how poorly run the hotpot was, I don't see any chance of the restaurant improving.

    Food is always great at this old school Italian restaurant where you feel like you're getting food…read morecooked by mom. I usually order to take home but when I need a quiet dining experience we will dine there. The space is small but not tight and service is good. We love the calamari salad, chicken francese and every seafood dish we have tried and everything has alway been fresh.

    I had driven past this place for the last several years and always wanted to dine here. So what…read morekept me away? I don't know, but I finally had the opportunity to dine here with our group from the Bayside Hills Civic Association. * Service 3 out of 5 = Service was a little slow, but we did have a group of 25. The staff was very pleasant and friendly. Just keep in mind that you may have to wait a little bit for the food to come out. I was told that the owner cooks everything by herself so in that regard you know it's prepared with lots of love. * Decor 3 out of 5 = Average interior appointments. You won't be wowed away with the interior design or the silverware. * Food 4 out of 5 = we had the following : - Bread drizzled with olive oil. Nothing fancy, I know it's complimentary, but I would have preferred they gave us the olive oil with some salt and pepper so we can season our own bread. - Calamari- Lightly breaded, not too greasy with a crunchy exterior and contrasting soft interior. The marinara sauce was ok. - Caprese salad - The freshness of the tomatoes paired with creamy mozzarella and aromatic basil created a harmonious blend of flavors. I was disappointed that there was no drizzle of balsamic glaze. - Penne ala vodka - Perfectly cooked al dente and the best part of the pasta, it came out piping hot! The penne perfectly absorbed the rich and velvety vodka-infused tomato cream sauce. - Pollo francese - The tender chicken cutlets were coated in a light, lemony egg batter. The lemon butter sauce was a perfect complement, providing a zesty and velvety finish to each bite with a wonderful balance of savory and citrusy notes - Cannoli cream cake - Delicious and moist and i was told by the server all the desserts are homemade. A nice way to end dinner with a slice of cake paired with a cup of cappuccino, perfect. ******Overall restaurant score 4 out of 5****** This corner restaurant is a hidden gem. It's small and exudes a sweet charm, making it an ideal spot for a cozy meal. The portion sizes are smaller when compared to other restaurants and there are areas that can be improved on, like presentation and plating. It's the little details that should never be overlooked. NOTE: No private parking lot. Plenty of street parking and outdoor patio opens up for dining when the weather warms up.
