Testimonials

 5/5

Went there for a wedding. The food was delicious and it's all made there even the salad dressing. The staff was always cleaning off the tables so you didn't have to take glasses back to the bar area. Very professional was the bartender and quick on getting your order up

Wonderful evening at this place. Food was fantastic. The chef is a chef for "real humans." I wish this was a restaurant. We would be back every weekend and we live an hour away. Staff is so friendly and nice. I'm looking for a reason to celebrate an event to go back.

EXCELLENT VENUE!!!!! Owners, Ingo & Sandra are awesome! We had our wedding ceremony & reception recently there and our expectations were beyond exceeded because they were so attentive to every detail from food, our toddler not running off, our guests having a great time and much much more. We enjoyed them being present during our special day, we had so much fun with them. The food was amazing and our guests love it. The updated bridal suite is beautiful. Sandra makes sure everything is running smoothly during the planning and day of the event. Staff is fast and friendly. Highly recommend them if you are looking for quality without breaking the bank. WE LOVE YOU INGO & SANDRA!!!!!!!!

We celebrated our baby shower here and man the experience was amazing the staff was wonder! Love this place— definitely will be using this venue for many more events! Big enough place for our family to feel safe and spread out with the conditions of covid 19 and the staff were wonderful with enforcing cdc regulations to keep masks on around food, bar and mingling! Loved how everything came together, and the food was wonderful! So many family members after the shower reached out to compliment the food and the party! I was a stress free mama because of Ingo and Sandra!!
