I recently hosted a surprise birthday party for my husband at Van Goghz in the party room. We both enjoy the food (especially steak night!) and atmosphere so he would never suspect a party by going there for a late lunch.
Ginger (owner) was excellent about suggesting an appetizer menu for the expected number of people, even substituting in some vegetarian-friendly items to accommodate some of our guests. In addition, she gave our party special pricing on some of my husband's favorite drinks! The party plan specifically stated the final food costs and service fees that exactly matched the bill when I settled up. The overall pricing was a great deal for the venue and the amount of food and drink. Plus, it was great not having to cook or clean up afterwards!
On the day of the party, some food was out precisely at the proper time and fresh dishes were added throughout the party permitting a perfect snacking/drinking social atmosphere. Ginger's menu recommendations were perfect because everyone got as much food as they wished, yet very little food was left over. Everyone raved about the pizza, pretzel bites, dips, brownies, martinis, and the sociable size and layout of the party room! Everyone at the party had such a great time! I strongly recommend using Van Goghz to host events because of the cost, simplicity, food, and service. It is a perfect neighborhood dining and entertaining establishment!
