The venue was very nice. The staff were very helpful and attentive. We ordered from a vegetarian menu and the food was delicious. The drinks were also good, I highly recommend the sangria. Overall very satisfied with venue, food, drinks and service.
We held our work summer party at Vineyard, the whole process from booking the venue to the night of the party and everything in between has been superb. I would highly recommend Vineyardif you're looking for a venue for a party. The staff we're very attentive and went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. Thank you!
Absolutely incredible time! The staff was lovely and everyone had an amazing evening. The food was delicious and a great value for it's money and the karaoke was a huge hit. I can't thank Manos, Nadine, Antoine and their teams enough for such a spectacular evening. Our entire party had a ton of fun and many stayed until the early hours of the morning. Can't wait to come back to Upper House again!
