We debated for the longest time if we should give 2 or 3 stars overall since we LOVED our wedding,…read morebut unfortunately A Fresh Connection dropped the ball when it came to their execution of our event. From day one we were upfront about what we wanted for our wedding reception. We had a micro, destination wedding with what ended up being less than 20 people total. We made it very clear from the beginning about my onion allergy and about the food we required for our menu. We were told things could be made from scratch without onion. It had also been noted all over our invoice. My allergy was the primary topic of conversation throughout the entirety of our communication with A Fresh Connection. Yet, the day of our reception they asked who exactly had the allergy... Key elements were missing from the salad and a special side was left off my plate. We had to ask someone to get Chef Lisa for us so we could ask why. Nothing had been disclosed to us before our wedding reception. She proceeded to tell us there were trace amounts of onion in the side. I had to ask her to bring it over anyway. I took a chance in eating just a little bit so I could enjoy the menu we had established. I didn't understand how such a mistake could be made when we were so direct about my allergy and told things could be made from scratch. For example, the mini spanakopita appetizer had been made without onion, so why wouldn't the same be applied to the rest of the meal? We found out the onion element applied to one missing ingredient from the salad. The other missing elements had simply been forgotten. Even worse, entrees were served cold, which should have never happened. Our bartender Matt also did not serve the non-alcoholic beverages for our guests who could not have alcohol. At the end of the night, Matt made his way around the room and very abruptly started tossing things in the trash. My husband actually had to say something to him to try and get him to stop. Two important, religious related boxes went missing. Both were important, but one in particular had been customized to house our religious item, so we've been looking for it ever since. Matt also bickered with my husband how none of the chairs had to be folded and put on top of the tables. Yet, that's what the venue coordinator had told my husband during the walk through. We ended up having to do it ourselves because Matt just left without telling us. All of the staff belonging to A Fresh Connection left without a word or even telling us where the leftovers were. Our experience was extremely bittersweet.

We were seated right on time and the place was vibing both at the outdoor bar and restaurant. Perfect place to watch the sunset! Started with the bacon wrapped shrimp - so so good! I ordered the Land and Sea (3 scallops and filet medallions) and it was delicious! Scallops were a good size and filet tips were a nice portion. My husband ordered the pistachio crusted rack of lamb. Cooked to perfection, super tender and the homemade mint jam was amazing! After dinner, we headed out to the outside bar and it was such a great way to end the evening. Highly recommend if you're looking for a nice dinner with great service!

It is extremely loud and we had a hard time hearing each other and our server. Service overall was just okay. Drinks: - Key Lime Pie Martini - very sweet and tasted like flavored eggnog. sent back - Pomegranate Martini - not made consistently. My mom's was much sweeter than mine. Good, but nothing special - Almond Old Fashioned - this was nice. The almond was a nice change from a normal old fashioned Appetizers/Entrees: - Prosciutto & Date Flatbread - this had a nice amount of proscuitto, but there was too much balsamic dressing as it overpowered the whole dish - Spanish Octopus - TINY! It has nice flavor, but there's not a lot of octopus in it, which defeats the purpose - Seared Sesame Ahi Tuna - very nice flavor, but they only gave 6 pieces of tuna and 3 wonton chips for nearly $30 - Cedar Plank Salmon - best thing we got. It's the only dish that had the perfect amount of everything and was enjoyable to eat. The cedar gives the salmon a very nice flavor - Port Wine Glazed Pork Osso Bucco - disgusting mushroom risotto. Pork was undercooked so we had to send it back to be fixed. Came back cooked correctly and tasted decent. They gave a good amount of pork. This place is ridiculously pricey for the small amount you get for most of the dishes. Lots of issues with our visit and it just isn't a relaxing place to eat with how loud it gets. 2.5 stars overall.

Not sure what's up with Gerard leaving a bad review for a closed brick and mortar location…read more They're still open for catering and Saturday morning market when it's open. Love the bbq here! The best ribs I've ever had. I even got a slab for the 4th of July and all my friends loved them as well. The brick and mortar was never in a bad location not was anyone rude that worked there and it certainly wasn't a dive. The owner worked very hard to remodel the restaurant and made it very nice and a perfect atmosphere for food, music, trivia etc. Unfortunately covid forced the brick and mortar to close but I still stall their bbq. Don't overlook the smoked salmon either! It sells quickly cause it's sooooo good. I love that you have your choice of pita bread and not the basic garlic toast you get everywhere. Trust me, be a stalker too! It's the one time it's socially acceptable!

It had a dance floor surrounded by carpet for dinner seating. 2) staff: very polite and very attentive. Water was always filled, dishes cleared immediately, and always polite. The bartender was always polite too. 3) food: this particular evening in normal buffet style it was laid out on tables with steaming pans to keep items hot. Neat and tidy well maintained area for food. Their was crispy salad, warm bread, buttery beans, hot and cheesy lasagna, and decadent chocolate dessert. 4) music: their was a DJ who did a great job and the music resonated well. Plenty of dancing and silliness. 5)parking: I had no issues with parking even when arriving late to the event. I would gladly attend another catered event here and would recommend it for an evening indoor event.

Everything was incredible -- to the point that we've had friends tell us they will gladly chip in on future parties to ensure we have them back!

I didn't have to worry about a thing because this team handled it all -- from setting up the tables and chef's station to cleaning it all up afterwards. I can't say enough about how wonderful our experience was. We've used "larger" catering companies in the past -- never again!

French Toast #99: Milk & Cereal Cinnamon maple cream cheese custard, barrel-aged stout tres leches sauce, Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal. There are kind of no words for this.

My younger sister and I were so excited about it we didn't give it a second thought and brought it right up to the counter. The woman at the counter gave us the points and said she'd text her manager about the note inside. We played for another 30 minutes or so and went back to the counter. She told us our point total and I asked if her manager had texted her back. She said they did, then "ha ha very funny" which caught me off guard. I realize now that it was a prank by whoever had the chest before, but I responded apologetically even though the attitude confused me. She told us something along the lines of "yeah well it's not real" like we were annoying her. She walked away while we were trying to just move on and choose our prizes. Another woman came to help us. The entire interaction left me feeling humiliated and incredibly insulted. I asked a question. I didn't deserve that. Disgusting experience.
