I had my daughter's baptism at this venue and I was very pleased, the event coordinator was extremely accomodating (she helped me set up the decorations and it looked beautiful), the food was delicious (my husband and I go there often), the staff was very friendly and the space is comfortable. I highly recommend this venue for any events if you want good food, good service and not spend an outrageous amount of money.

We had a wonderful wedding reception at the private banquet hall of the Grill from Ipanema. If you’re looking for a festive, fun, but not too formal event space, this is the place. Ester was extremely responsive and accommodating from start to finish. She went out of her way to suit our preferences, timing, and budget – including drink arrangements, the menu, and ensuring everything went smoothly during the event itself. During the event, the tables were beautifully set, the food was outstanding and the staff was very attentive and seamlessly rearranged tables as needed to make space for speeches, cake cutting, and dancing. We highly recommend the Grill from Ipanema for your next event!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
