Birthday Party · 50 guests
· December 2024
Great venue, for the theme of my party well and has what I needed
Food was too expensive. Prepaid over $1000 on food for 44 people and people were still hungry so I still had to order about $300 more food on the night and some people still missed out

Birthday Party · 40 guests
· October 2024
Good atmosphere, private and good proximity to bar and toilets. Good communication and easy to contact the venue with any questions.
Some of the foods on the grazing board people did not eat, I think it was onions and radicchio.
