constantly changing contract perimeters and many hidden costs associated with renting this location. Absolutely no flexibility what so ever!! By far one of the most beautiful locations but not worth the headache and the money spent to rent it. The food was excellent though and the bistro staff was amazing.

We cannot begin to describe how stressful the chef and venue owners made our wedding day for us. To be frank - it could not have been any more awful.

The chefs changed multiple times and we were "assured" that we'd be able to organize the menu with the final new (4th) chef 6 weeks before our wedding.
The chef not only responded to use in an untimely manner, but literally needed to be told what to cook - we tried to be helpful by choosing from the restaurant menu but were told that he was "very particular" about how all of his food was prepared and repeatedly shot down any of our suggestions, but then did not offer any of his own.

We eventually had to speak to the owners directly (who are very hard to reach) and while they tried to appear sympathetic, defended the chef and said "well there's going to be something that doesn't go perfectly with a wedding."

In short, if you have another viable venue and catering option, choose it.
