Grassy Hill Lodge

Attended an Alumni Reunion event here and have a mixed impression. It was clean and convenient, but the food was mediocre at best, and the décor was confusing. Are they trying to be a wedding venue or a country antiques barn? Trying to please all they risk pleasing none. Service was organized and pleasant, with manager doubling as bartender. Actually, those of us who had not been there before had trouble finding the bar, which was around a wall in a dark back corner; might have ordered a second drink if we had been able to order when we first arrived. Wound up being almost time to sit down for dinner before we got our drink. Regular Coffee was excellent and ice cream cake was very good. All staff were pleasant and courteous. Bathrooms were clean and parking was easy. With careful attention given to updating and coordinating the buffet selections, it could be a cozy venue for 60 – 100, perhaps using a room divider to delineate more formal space or at least move or remove silk flower arrangements (the 2 on the buffet table were very attractive though out of place) next to old sewing & adding machines and clocks.

We had our wedding at Grassy Hill Lodge last weekend and we were extremely happy with everything! We received so many compliments about the food and the service. The staff was very accommodating and worked with us on many details. My aunt even commented that the waitress poured the water for her when she saw she was unable to lift the water pitcher and the owner customized our menu to please our ethnic guests. She even personally brought us some appetizers that we missed. This venue is top notch in our book. I don’t know what happend at the previous review but I find it very hard to believe that the staff was rude or inflexible. (On a more personal note, my waitress was in her 20s and the oldest woman I saw there was maybe in her 60s at the latest, so I have no idea what the reviewer meant by «old». Nor do I have any idea how being «old» lends itself to being a bad waitress.) Regardless, we had a fantastic experience here and would highly reccomend Grassy Hill Lodge to anyone looking for a perfect wedding venue.
