While the building is beautiful and most of the staff were great, the bartender and "security" were…read moreincredibly rude to the bride and entire bridal party. They spent A LOT of money to have their wedding there and were disrespectful all night and made everyone feel uncomfortable. The bartender refused to prioritize the bridal party for drinks, halting them from being able to take photos in a timely manner. They asked for a ton of money to only have one bartender on staff for a very large group of people, so there was a significant line for drinks all night. The security guard was creepily checking out the women all night while at the same time being incredibly rude and unprofessional. We had actual police officers in attendance as guests, and even they couldn't believe how Paul Blart was acting. He was overheard asking the bartender "when is this thing over, I don't get why these things last this long." When the bridal party went to do a check to collect the rest of their belongings before leaving for the night, he stated a bunch of them were "fooling around" in the basement. Someone who clearly has never been invited to a party or a wedding in their life should not be tasked with this. Not to mention he gets paid $300 to be there. Even pacing up on the stage staring everyone down while we ate dinner. You would think he would be more concerned with waiting by the entrance to ensure there weren't people going to be drinking and driving (his job) instead of ogling the women and treating/questioning all the guests, pulling them out from the dance floor to interrogate them like a wanna be cop. Pay 7k to this place if you want to be treated poorly and your guests to be treated poorly on the most important day of your life.

Really cool venue, it looks like it could have been a skating rink at one time. The main area is a…read morevery large open room and the arches create a visual separation from seating booths and the bar area. The venue was really easy to find and has a generous sized private parking lot. It was a very clean facility, even the restrooms were not overlooked. And though it may seem small from the outside, it comfortably accommodated a rather large wedding reception. There is a second bar and seating area elevated behind the booths that wasn't used, but I can see how this is a great venue for larger parties. The staff working at the facility were all really friendly and efficient, and the bartender was heavy handed with the alcohol when mixing drinks great experience for this out of town guest!

Today July 20, 2023…read more I am here now, my job reservered a room for me and I happened to show up durning check out time. Apparently they were packed to capacity so they had all rooms to clean. I had to wait about 2.5-3hrs before anything was available..BUT the manager (I would assume) let me know the deal and kept me aware of how long it would take.. I waited in the lobby and played games read a book. The smell of clean was very refreshing!!! The housekeepers were working very hard matter of fact all the staff to turnover rooms while still receiving calls and visits for reservations. I am proud to say this is one hotel I would return to..because of concern for customers and how hard they work..unfortunately understaffed. This is a thankless job but we are like a place to rest that is convenient and clean and we can because of how hard they work. When my room was ready it was so clean and smelled so fresh..the floors were clean as well. Be nice and appreciative when you check in here because they truly work hard. A huge plus..they had chocolate chunk chocolate chip cookies in the lobby which were freaking delicious. I am very thankful for their attentive attitude and cleanliness and hospitality.

Table 1912 is back! Exterior signage has Table 1912 on the left, Gilmore's Pub on the right and…read moredouble glass entry doors to the right of that patio. Go straight and take a left through Gilmore's, to reach Table 1912. Wasn't super intuitive but you'll figure it out. Attended their pre-opening dinner, and tried, well, everything. Comfortable, friendly, attentive service (note: when you make your reservation you can request your server). A beautifully paced 4-course meal. I'm sure if you wanted to you could just order what you want and be done with it, but otherwise ordering of drinks, salad/soup course, entree and dessert is paced out, allowing for visiting, enjoyment of the restaurant, drinks, food, and your company. Our meal was about 2 hours. We started with the baked clams, bacon jam croquettes, and pork belly. Clams were my favorite but all were wonderful. The pork belly was a delightful combo of sweet and salty. For salads we got the ginger orange salad and the steak salad (they were out of the carrot bisque). The ginger orange salad was a nicely balanced sweet, bitter (from the greens), and salty (parm crisp) concoction. The steak in that salad was incredibly tender. A classic combination of flavors with olives, feta, quality Italian dressing. For entrees our table got the stuffed chicken, lamb, and the strip loin. The lamb was tender, tasty, with the right amount of gamey flavor, and the mushroom strudel was to die for. Crunchy, delicious, really incredible flavors--would be great as a stand alone appetizer option as well. Our friend enjoyed his chicken. The steak was fine, but probably would try something else next time (it was a little tough, and the garlic mashed potatoes were only ok). On to dessert. Wow! Turtle cheesecake (forgot picture) was very good, our friend loved the red velvet cake-beautiful presentation. But the star of the show was the lowly ice cream sundae. Usually just an after thought on a menu for kids or the unadventurous. But oh.my.god. A scoop of vanilla and a scoop of chocolate ice cream, both from Hansen's dairy. A house made cookie crumbled for the base, (note: everything on the menu is house made best i can tell), black cherry sauce, chocolate sauce, and marshmallow cream. Soooooo good. Enough for two for sure but don't feel bad if you don't want to share. A full bar, good beer selection, and a nice featured cocktail menu. Check this place out--you will not be disappointed.
