It wasn’t a large event, (fewer than 50 persons) but we had varying dietary needs and they accommodated everyone. We ordered from the Bistro Boxed Lunch Menu and the food was amazing. EVERYONE was complimentary. Than — Lauren Padgett
• 5★ This was such an amazing event! Held a sorority formal here. Food was so yummy (had chicken, mash potatoes, green beans and a salad buffet style). The venue was gorgeous with the main lights and back lights. Service was amazing with people constantly cleaning up. The next day pickup of things was so — Liliana Mendoza
