At…read morefirst glance, it does not look promising on the outside as it's in the middle of a strip mall between two restaurants. But once you enter, it has a lovely reception area with multiple meeting rooms. This place is ideal for gatherings of less than 100 people as it creates an open and welcoming space that is conducive to social connections. The staff was professional and friendly - very service oriented. Another plus is car parking is free and plentiful in front of the entrance. Finally, the location in Glen Allen provides easy access to the interstate highway (I-64) and Route 250.

We were blown away by the food and desserts at The Mill at Fine Creek. Our guests are still raving…read moreabout each course, and the cake was stunning (even though our topper was mistakenly eaten, the team quickly provided a replacement, which we greatly appreciated). The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous and created the perfect backdrop for our wedding day. That said, there are some areas where we think the experience could be even better. Communication throughout the planning process was sometimes challenging, even when we reached out with questions. On the day of our wedding, our hope was to follow the timeline we had carefully planned so that we could maximize time with our guests. Although our coordinator reassured us things were on track, the buffet ended up starting later than expected. Because of that delay, our reception ended with much less dancing time than we had envisioned. We had chosen a buffet in part because we were told it would be quicker than a plated dinner, but that unfortunately wasn't the case. We share this not to take away from how beautiful and memorable our day was, but because we believe The Mill has all the ingredients to deliver a truly seamless experience. With improved communication and a little more focus on time management, future couples will be able to enjoy every aspect of what makes this venue so special--the incredible food, stunning setting, and joyful atmosphere.

Food is cooked to order- with limited selections but done excellently. And the coffee was terrific. We will be back and not just for some prepared food, the fresh pantry will be utilized as will the other offerings. Love that it is so close and so unique. The vibe is just perfect. Thanks.

Despite a natural disaster and severe health warnings from officials, they refused to cancel or provide a 100% refund or credit. The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality issued a Code RED Air Quality Alert across The Richmond Metro Area, for Fine Particulates. I contacted them several days in advance to voice my concerns, in an effort to limit their likely loss around the event, and be able to reschedule. They stated a desire to wait, it turns out until 3 hours before the event, maximizing the financial impact of the decision on their business and their customers. While they offer a 50% future credit, I was forced to decide between dining in a natural disaster vs being out $150. Ironically, those who tipped more lost out on more money. I contacted them to address my concerns, and they ghosted me. They do not insure their events, so in the event of a natural disaster, your pre-paid event (Wedding, Business event, workout, dinner) is your responsibility and you will be out your money. Book with caution. Do not pre-tip.

Called groups by tables for Buffet and ran out of food, have guests standing in line holding their plates. Chicken was luke warm and dry. Servers in sweatshirts with ear pods in.

There is a lot of space with a lot of sectioning up that could happen so that multiple events are going on at once--or for accommodating lots of people. Indoor space and outdoor space. Patios, outdoor bars... the bathrooms are even well-done. It's a very nice venue, and pricing is based on lots of factors--day, time, length of event, space needed, food/beverage, etc. I'm looking forward to receiving my price quote to see the viability of having an event at Atlas 42.

My wife and I went to a wonderful wedding held at Amber Grove Inn yesterday. The Inn is located in…read morea great area of northern Chesterfield County, conveniently located to Route 288 and the Midlothian area. My coworker, whose wedding we attended, blocked rooms out at the Holiday Inn on Midlothian Turnpike near Johnston-Willis Hospital just a few minutes away. The home dates back to the mid to late 1800s with a barn nearby. The wedding we attended yesterday had the ceremony in the barn. It was truly a special place with light filtering in through cracks in the wood. After the ceremony the guests made their way over to the reception area on the far side of the house. A tent connects with the house, allowing guests to travel back and forth under cover, which was important yesterday as there was a bit of rain. There are beautiful grounds including a gazebo and a fire pit. The staff was very attentive and the food was great. There were about 190 people at this wedding and it never felt crowded. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a wedding venue.

We could not view the wedding ceremony because their wedding venue is in the top of a barn with wooden steps as the only access. No elevator! We waited in the reception tent instead. During the reception, my wife needed to go to the rest room. We discovered that there is no wheelchair access to the house where the restrooms are and the restrooms themselves will not accommodate a wheelchair. We had to carry my wife up the stairs to the bathroom. When I asked the owner if he'd consider putting in a wheelchair ramp, he copped an attitude and said "Ain't gonna happen", "It's never been a problem until now." If you have anyone in your family with functional needs or are elderly and need wheelchairs or walkers, I'd AVOID this place since the owner doesn't see the need to meet ADA compliance standards. UPDATE - They now have wheelchair access to the main house.

The bathrooms were also nicely decorated and everything just looked brand new and well maintained. It's a large space with a foyer at the front that was being used for food. I loved how the food was separate from the event so the caterers could do their thing and not disturb the event. The venue is also equipped with AV which was useful during the event. This is a really great event venue and I'd recommend it for folks looking for a modern space to host their next event.

Went early in the day on a weekend and it wasn't too busy which made for a nice experience. The lanes are well taken care of, the technology all worked and they had very fun themes for games which made the playing experience great. The staff was super kind as well from the check in desk to the servers coming to check on us, provide us waters and take orders for food. They have a variety of options for food and beverages including mixed drinks. They have a small selection of Arcade games but nothing to the extent of a full arcade. Overall, this is a decent bowling alley for both the avid and novice bowlers. Its not too busy on early weekends so it is a nice spot to hang out with a group.
