Hello ladies, you girls are so helpful and have helped me out before with my venue troubles and now I need some more of your help. I had my tasting at Ravello's last Wednesday and it was a horrible experience. The tasting consist of only CH food, were under the impression that the main entree's would be given at the tasting but it wasn't. The service wasn't that good and the food was limited and some of it was just plain, bland, and cold. We left so disappointed. I was happy that our contract stated if we weren't happy with the tasting we could get our deposit back and that's exactly what we are doing now. Mt FI asked for double serving of pasta and they looked at him like he was crazy and they guy was reluctant to do it, but he did. I can imagine that they would do that to my guest, and i'm not happy about that.
We went to see the Tides on Sunday and I was so happy with the service they showed us and the grounds are so beautiful, I couldn't believe we didn't go there before theprice is so comparable for the food you get. We would be using the downstairs room which is in our price range and fits our guest list ( 150 people MAX). The upstairs room is so big and nice, but we can't afford it

I want to see if they would work a deal out for that room, i love to negotiate my FI doesn't at all. I have no problem and shame with negotiating, what's the worse they can say, no. We didn't commit to them yet and are going back this Sunday to negotiate some more and hopefully sign a contact. I wanted to know if some girls that used the downstairs room could review their wedding. How many people did you invite? Did you ever feel cramped in that room? How was the food? Any review about the service and the experience there would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!
