The catering manager wasn't very responsive and told me last minute that my large party wouldn't be able to be seated for dinner.
I thought everything was going to go swimmingly when I booked my party of 20-25 people for dinner and lounge on a Sat night. The Tuesday before I called to confirm that I'll have 28 people...suddenly, she told me that they may no longer be able to accommodate that large of a group for dinner and she was actually going to call me about that. What??!??! Because of 3 extra people?? And when was she going to call me, on Friday night when I wouldn't be able to make any alternative arrangements at all?
She then said she'd check with the chef and call me back. Well, she didn't call me back until the end of Wednesday, after I left her a voicemail in the morning, only to confirm that they wouldn't be able to accommodate my party for dinner, but would still love to have me for the cash bar afterward.
To me, it seems like a very poor decision for a new place to turn down guaranteed 28 diners and possibly more cash bar attendees so last minute. Just be careful if you're going to book large parties at this place.
