I had my wedding there April 26th. The ceremony was beautiful and so is the scene from the back patio, but this place can use many, many improvements. First off, I had asked for a contract 3 times from the female owner and never received one. I let it go trusting things will go as discussed. It was a BIG mistake not getting a contract. The bar was supposed to be on the back patio where the party was. Instead it was far in the front of the restaurant where guests had to walk back & forth. After awhile people just hung out in front away from the party and dancing because of the bar. They only hired one bartender for 90 guests and for people still dining in the restaurant. Some diners were ordering drinks off of our tab! The bartender was also slow as can be. Also, initially I discussed open bar with the owner and she said it was for 3 hours then last minute she changed it to 2 hours. After our ceremony, the waitress got a drink for my husband and I and later gave us a bill for $80! No explanation, we paid it just so we could have a good time and not argue. It was also agreed that the party would end at 10pm. By 9pm, they were pushing us out the door but we kept dancing. The waitress yelled at my friend to "FINISH YOUR DRINK NOW!" while I (the bride) was standing right next to him! The worst part is the male host/owner. When I walked in there in my wedding dress, he just looked at me, no hello or smile. It was uncomfortable. He was also harassing my photographer most of the time to not take photos or he would call the cops. This IS a wedding, he's supposed to take photos. He was rude to some of my guests I later heard. Some gave him compliments on the view and he just gave them a snide look. He acts as if he doesn't want you there. He doesn't help the restaurant either, the bartender needed help serving 90 guests. As an owner I would jump behind the bar to help, but all he does is walk around and looks mean and intimidating. Some of my friends were scared of him......
Pros: View is beautiful,especially for a wedding,food was pretty good.
Cons: Male host/owner is not friendly at all,rude waitress,female owner not honoring agreement made for wedding.
