However , The service was so slow and Cold. Despite us being the only ones there . Asked for a photo , this may be a little millennial of me but , she didn't even count she just grabbed the phone took some photos and gave it back to us . It was like we were inconveniencing her because she was so busy . But , again we were the ONLY table . We were never checked on after ordering two appetizers from of server despite saying we wanted to order lunch . We had to flag down the server because she was just hiding in the back the entire time and the drinks took 20-30 min to deliver . Which , I personally think is excessive . I will say the owner , was a delight and took her time to introduce herself and check on us . I've heard her paint nights are great !

Sabrina made sure everything was taken care of - down to the smallest detail you can think of. She did everything she could to accommodate my every need/wish and more!

During the event, Sabrina made sure we were taken care of and helped make this event as stressless as possible. I am so grateful to have found this venue and Sabrina!! I would recommend this place to anybody I know without hesitation!

They do serve lunch to 2pm. We were here to have lunch and then take pictures at their lavender farm. Hopping to catch some blooming lavender. Sadly, it was mostly a green garden w not much blooming lavender. There were a few other flowers blooming tho. Upon arrival.... Pros 1) plenty of parking. 2) location was plain but pretty and clean. 3) they had like 4 to 8 tables on the front by the parking area where you walk in. I saw a few people eating there. 4) they had a beautiful wooden table in the back on the grassy area with 6 chairs around it. That's where we sat for lunch. Our reservation was at 12pm. We got seated right away. Today was perfect to eat outside. There is no indoor seating or a restaurant here. I didn't see any. 5) there is a gift shop. But we didn't make it to see the inside 6) they serve salads and sandwiches here for lunch. Very simple and short menu. Their soup of the day today was tomato bisque. 7) our sandwiches and salads tasted fine. But salads are large portions. I could have shared my chicken salad with another. Sandwiches are normal size. Enough for one person. 8) Drinks were ok. Water tasted good. No funky or metal taste to it. 9) two porter potty bathroom but clean. Not the typical blue porter potties at putdoor events. A little nicer and it flushes. 10) our server was very nice. Cons 1) it took a long time to get our meals once we ordered. We were seated at 12pm. But we didn't get our salads and sandwiches till like an hourish later. By the time our foods came out, we sat to catch up and eat, and celebrate a bday, it was like 1:45ish already. Gift shop closes at 2pm. 2) our young server seems like she's still in training. But she was good. Wish they check on their customers more often. But maybe she was the only one taking orders. I don't know. 3) Conclusion This location was nice. Clean. Pretty. There wasn't any lavender blooming when we were there. But I heard it's a hit and miss to catch it in bloom too get beautiful pictures. It's ok though. We found other areas to get nice photos in. Foods were ok. Meh. But salads looked pretty and in large portions. Chicken on the salads were perfectly made. It was juicy and not dry. Each of our plates were $18. There is a small drinks menu. With both their menus being short, it made it so much easier to order something. Love that no one rushed us out after 2pm. We were allow to take our time on the area to take photos. They were setting up for a 4pm wedding. Not to bad here.

It may be small, but the works displayed are varied, and ALL are truly outstanding. And since none of the pieces are permanent, you can go back there every 2 months or so and see completely different artwork. Lisa, the curator/manager for the past 20+ years, is truly passionate about this place, and it really shows. (No, I'm not related to her; in fact, I just met her today during my first visit.) I heard about this place through the old (R.I.P.) AAA TourBooks, and this is *definitely* one of their better "finds."

I was planning on having my…read morewedding here but the girl who is the "wedding expert" knew no answers to the simplest of questions.. What is your average alcohol beverage price? Menu options? (All she could say is we have an amazing chef) .... Okay??? Can you elaborate on what type of food etc? Not just your opinion on the food. I asked her to send me the bar options not once, or twice but three times (phone calls and emails) I called a couple of times to get information and never got a call back... so finally I decided to book with another venue. I can understand if you're busy or something but can you imagine booking with this person, and then being stuck with her! She won't even help with the easiest of tasks... Imagine on your wedding day!! My advice pay a little more and go with an actual wedding venue. The receptionist gave me more info than the wedding specialist/planner or whatever she calls herself... SAD. Also fyi, ceremonies can only be prior to their restaurant side opening. *No you can't bring your own alcohol. *No you can't bring your own caterer. *$20 for a Gallo bottle of wine that costs like $6 at a store. Or You CAN Bring your own champagne.. But subject to a $12 corkage fee (per bottle) Average beer bottle is $5 Average price is about 20+ per person for food (buffet style) Add $3 per person if you want the food to be served. Nice venue, just needs a little work on their booking and customer service. if you can look past the "what ifs" on the most important day of your life maybe give them a chance. I was too worried on how it might turn out on my big day.

It is not an actual restaurant but they are open for lunch and provide great catering services. The Tri-tip sandwich was full of flavor and the serving was very generous. The prices can be a bit steep but you do get what you pay for. My former company conducted their monthly meetings here and every time, the service we were provided was outstanding. The wall street room is nicely decorated and the brick decor is very cool. They have recently added a garden area for weddings. Sure, some people may consider a place with a nicer view but I have to give these guys a lot of credit for sprucing up the place.

My daughter was so excited!! She loved her photo as we were walking out I seen on their community board on events happening soon. They had all kinds of different workshops as well as photo session events, I signed up for an upcoming workshop to experience to do your own thanksgiving charcuterie of course with a complimentary wine glass. And let me say, it was the most fun I've had, especially moving to the town and not knowing much it was nice to get out the house and socialize. Since then, I've signed up for other workshops. I truly love this place, they also do private events and I'm thinking of celebrating my partner's birthday here in the summer. Can't recommend it enough!! Thanks Melissa for creating this space for the community she's one of the owners, super down to earth women. Tell her Jaz sent yah !!

From helping us stay within our budget, to helping us come up with alternatives. Their assistance with the day helped make it all come together.

We had a fusion Indian/Jewish wedding, and we wanted both our heritages to be honored, which they did beautifully. I know I would have had a much harder time without them. But in actuality, they helped make our special day memorable, enjoyable and beautiful. They were fantastic and I would recommend them over and over again!

We have used them for our crab feeds for several years. We've had three different hall managers throughout that time, but Elijah has always been there and has always helped us out greatly! The one thing they need to work on is their beer taps. They have been an issue for many years. They are always very finicky and have foam issues. This, as you can imagine, is a huge issue when you are pouring for a fundraiser. Irritated guests makes for less money raised. I'm not sure how they need to fix it, but since it's been an issue for many years, something needs to be done. Besides that, our event last night, like many years past, ran smoothly. Can't wait to be back next year!

We recently hosted our daughter's wedding at August Meadows, and it was truly perfect. She had a…read moreclear vision for her big day, and this venue brought it to life beautifully. The owners were incredibly supportive--reliable, responsive, and followed through on every promise. One of the things we appreciated most was their flexibility. Unlike many venues that require you to use their preferred vendors for catering, bartending, or florals, August Meadows gave us the freedom to choose our own. That made a huge difference in creating a day that felt personal and unique. We also opted to have them handle the cleanup the following morning, and it was absolutely worth the extra cost--stress-free and seamless. The location itself is secluded and offers a wonderful sense of privacy. I highly recommend visiting in person to ensure it aligns with your expectations. As a small heads-up: the parking area is unpaved, and there's a bit of gravel to walk through, which posed a slight challenge for a few guests in high heels. Also, having a microwave in the clubhouse would be a nice addition. Other than that, our experience was outstanding. I would wholeheartedly recommend August Meadows to anyone looking for a beautiful, flexible, and well-managed venue.

Private location surrounded by trees has a large grass area, great gazebo in the round area set up for drinks, and a cement area ideal for dancing. Rooms available for bridal party to get dressed (wished it had AC) for the big day. Strongly recommend you check this venue out. The parking area is dirt (owner made sure it was watered prior so minimal dust). Getting from the parking area into the venue area there is small gravel so watch your step and footwear.

On September 17-18, 2022, there was an event that took place at the Alameda County Fairgrounds in…read morePleasanton, CA from 1:00pm-11:00pm. I paid for tickets online September 3rd. This event was not advertised correctly to the public. It advertised there would be live music, vendors, concerts, food trucks and adult food. Not to mention this would be a 21 and up festival. That was not the case kids were everywhere on the first day of the event. The doors were suppose to open at 1:00pm, but opened at 1:30pm. The security was very confused as to what was going on at the fairground and was not able to answer any questions posed from the public. On September 16th, CA Soul-Food Festival emailed out important information to review for those attending the festival on the weekend. All of the items mention that were permitted, people were able to bring into the festival. I followed all of the rules and was not able to disregard anything. For example, chairs were not allowed into the festival and customer would need to rent them at the fairgrounds. This was not the case. Once, customers were admitted into the festival at 1:30pm all of the important information went out the window. People were then bringing in items that were on the prohibited list , which included about 10-15 items. On Sunday, September 18th, I emailed California Soul Food Cookout Staff, left a message and chat email requesting a refund of my money. This was a horrible event and it was very unorganized and not well-planned. What happened to the gates opening at 1:00pm? What happened to the performances starting at 3:00pm? Nothing happened at all. The entertainment was the radio and unidentified performers to satisfy the audience. Other individuals who attended the festival were extremely upset as well. I was very, very disappointed and mislead. There were less vendors as advertised. Food was not prepared and it was 2:00pm and to mention the festival was set to start at 1:00pm. the vendors were informing me and others to pay for your food and come back. WOW, the lines were so long and this was horrible. Lots of people were out on this nice sunny day and to the festival was a mess. There was no one at the festival to inform the audience of what happened or of what was going on. I left the Alameda County Fairground at 6:00pm and at that time not any of the concert singers lined up to sing were present. This was clearly a joke. I took lots of pictures and will forward them on Yelp. It's Monday and no one has contacted me yet. I am going to make sure this festival never takes place again. People paid money to attend this festival and to fall apart as it did on Saturday, Sept. 17 is very disappointing. I will never attend an event of this kind again. I an notifying the City of Pleasanton regrading this mess on Tuesday. I am hoping CA Soul Food Cookout and Festival Inc. refunds me and others our money. Just a damn shame and embarrassing to the Pleasanton community. Owner/CEO Annette Jackson, I am waiting for you to call and apologize for this cookout mess. Be the bigger person and talk to those who attended this unorganized and unplanned event. This business gets zero stars.
