The highlight of the space is the spacious Great Hall, which can accommodate up to 400 guests (according to the venue website) --ideal for large gatherings like wedding receptions, fundraisers, or corporate gatherings. I attended fish fry at this location hosted by the Cleveland Field Kitchen that was hosted in the Great Hall. The Great Hall is very spacious, has a stage, and remnants of basketball hoop. It is very minimalistic but very spacious. I did not interact with any of the venue's staff while there (only unaffiliated event organizers) so can't comment about their service. There are other amenities that I've noticed while onsite including a kitchen, nature/walking trails, two playgrounds, and plenty of parking. Whether you're planning a business meeting, youth activity, bridal shower, or private party, the Family Life Center seems to be a good destination. I would recommend this venue to anyone interested in a scenic hideaway.

Probably the best value smash burger deal in NEOhio. Nice size patties, good sauce and lettuce/onions and a decent portion of fries. Had a glass of Viognier and wife had a Riesling. Both good and liked that they had different sized pours. Service was good. Appeared to be well staffed. What really sets this place apart is the overall feel of the physical space and manicured grounds. Clean, bright, comfortable. A walk after dinner around the amazing grounds made for a nice evening. Hard to believe this place is at the end of a nondescript industrial park. Too bad I don't have an occasion coming up because this would be high on my list of places to have it. Will eagerly return.

We placed our drink order and waited...out came 2 glasses of wine, then the third and then the beer that was ordered. Also asked for lemon wedges for the water which came after the beer. Placed appetizers order of crab cakes and smash burger. Waited a bit and then placed order for two salads as part of our dinners. Salads came out before the appetizers. I must say the crab cakes were delicious (maybe not $26 delicious), the smash burger was ok, very greasy and fries were not very hot. My biggest disappointment was my entree, Parmesan Crusted Seabass which is one of my all time favorites that I order when I see it on the menu. The plate looked delicious but looks can be deceiving. The Seabass was more breaded than Parmesan crusted. Usually When I order this it is Seabass topped with shredded Parmesan cheese and baked, this was not that! Then the sauce that covered the spinach and potatoes and lobster pieces had red chili flakes added(which is not noted on the menu) which added "heat" to the dish that I was not expecting nor was I able to eat. For $55 I was very disappointed. No, I didn't mention this at the time as we were dining with family and I didn't want to disrupt the dinner by sending it back. Such a simple thing to note on the menu description! The short rib was the best entree of the table, nice portion and delicious sauce. The filet was tiny, maybe 4 oz. Definitely not anywhere near 8 in as stated on the menu and it was hard to find with all of the broccoli on the plate. We will be visiting family here again but definitely won't be back here. On another note, the music they were playing would be more suitable to a dance club than a venue such as this.
