My Review 6/19/2011

I'm giving it a 2 star rating, recently went there for a wedding, the dance floor is too small, the charger plates used were scratched and not impeccable which grossed me out to eat from them, the salad and beef could have been better, the service/bar was good, I expected a nicer venue to be honest. If you are looking for a dance floor in center of room or decent sized dance floor for wedding/party, I suggest looking elsewhere. more

Not good place for all day conference 10/1/2009

Went there for a Megaregions conference. One room, multiple speakers. The chairs were torturous; highly uncomfortable and not great for bigger people. Otherwise, as long as you stand, it's a beautiful environment. Pros: Beautiful architecture, historic Cons: Terribly uncomfortable seating more

Perfect New Year's Eve Party for early 20's 1/2/2008

This year I went with my boyfriend and two other couples to the Sambuca-hosted New Year's Eve party in the Crystal Ballroom. Within the first five minutes I noticed the following: 1.) the place was packed like a sweaty pit at a rock concert (sold out 1200 tickets according to the web site); 2.) seating was severely limited (almost non-existent); 3.) the men's restroom had a line about 15 people long (so I knew the women's restroom was going to be a real treat); 4.) at 28-30 my friends and I were the oldest people in the room; and 5.) we were going to be lucky not to have a drink spilled on us (or worse). Pros: Beautiful ballroom, top shelf open bar, music Cons: Restrooms, service, frat party-esk more

Great place for a wedding 3/14/2005

I just went to a wedding here last weekend and was very impressed by both the space and the service. Very high-class decor and excellent service and catering. The wedding was able to fit a party for 320 very comfortably. Everyone had a great time! Highly recommended. more
