A Touch of Elegance

We held our daughter’s wedding at this facility earlier in the summer and they did a spectacular job of ensuring everything went off without a hitch. We had about 170 attend and held both the ceremony and the reception here. They were very accommodating to all of our requests and made the planning process easy. The facility itself is very elegant and has a lot more character than the typical reception hall. It has a beautiful bar and a lot of other really cool features that set it apart. The food was amazing for banquet food and we got a lot of compliments about it. The staff was very professional and they made the evening stress free. Everyone had a great time and I thank Don and Bill for making it a truly remarkable event!

Watch out for the bait and switch! My brothers and I wanted to book a 50^th wedding anniversary for our parents in 2016. So we called and received prices from them and checked their website. Based on what we saw and the prices given to us personally, and in a pamphlet, and on a website it was voted on to book here. When we went to put a deposit down for the event, we were told that’s not the pricing. It is $ 7 more per person if you want to have it next year 2016. Mind you we are 13 months away. Now you would think that we would have been told that when we placed our first call to them. To me and my brothers that was false advertising and a bait and switch. Because we were more than up front when we called. So based on the new info we are taking our money somewhere else. The place looked nice and I’m sure the food is excellent but we never got to that point. So buyer beware!!!

This is in regards to their Thanksgiving buffet. My family celebrates Thanksgiving on the Sunday before so my husband and I tend to be pretty chill on the day of, usually hitting up Chinese and a movie.
I wanted to do something slightly different so we saw in the Enquirer that this place had a Thanksgiving buffet for $ 22.75/person ($ 28 after tax and gratuity), made reservations a few days ahead of time and headed out the day off. The one thing to note is that when I made my reservation they asked for a CC number? Very weird and I almost decided not to follow through with it at that point but went ahead and did it anyway. I really don’t think you should need to give a CC number to make a reservation — I understand a phone number or email but I was a bit leery of this place after that and almost called back the next day to cancel.
A Touch of Elegance is on the street somewhat by Coney Island on the other side of the highway. We walked in and paid then were led to our table. Non-​alcoholic drinks were included and the waitstaff gave us a carafe of water (I love that — no waiting to get refills). I ordered a Coke and then we hit up the buffet.
I think between the two of us we tried every item on the buffet (deviled eggs, ciabatta roll, broccoli salad, macaroni salad, green salad, ham, turkey, beef, (did not try tilapia), gravy, au jus, horseradish, mashed potatoes, green beans, stuffing, glazed carrots) and overall the food was pretty good. Some was really good (ham, stuffing and broccoli salad). The one dish both of us tried and didn’t like were the glazed carrots.
They also had an assortment of desserts which was a nice touch and the cheesecake was super.
The staff was super onpoint, refilling my Coke and our water carafe quickly and efficiently. They also did a great job of taking away the dirty plates.
The space itself is nice and open, I can see how this place is a good event/​wedding venue choice. I believe they had set it up in the smaller of their areas so it was light filled but felt cozy.
Overall, this was a solid choice for a Thanksgiving buffet and something we’ll keep in mind for next year!

I was here recently for a wedding event, so I got to see the venue for the 1^st time. The main floor is light and airy, lots of windows, high ceilings with unique paddle fans. The are round tables of 8, and a U shaped table set up for the bridal party. The rooms are open to each other and can seat up to 350 (I was told), OR they can be partitioned off for smaller parties. There is a large bar area, and also a good sized dance floor. One room was set up for the actual wedding service. There is an outdoor garden area, but it was dark outside & very cold, so I couldn’t really see it. There is also an area in the basement that seats about 50, with a small bar area.
