Recently had a wedding reception here, nice place and all but the service was unbelievable garbage. One of the security guards were treating people with no respect and being racist towards guests. The person that rented us the place told us that they would be at the place with the servers an hour early to get everything prepared to not have an issue, they got there late and just started preparing as guests were rolling in. People serving the food had an attitude. At the beginning of the event, there was a lot of people who didn’t even get something to drink while they wait for food. We really had to go in the kitchen and tell one of the servers what was the hold up. They had the drinks ready but held back from serving? Half of the food that we paid for wasn’t even served. There were tons of beer left over because they didn’t serve any in beginning. Due to their poor service, some guests left early since they had nothing on their table. If you’re looking to rent this place out for an event, I advise you not to, you’re better off looking elsewhere.

The Rabbi & Cantor are wonderful! The Rabbi is very friendly & always has excellent thought provoking sermons, and the cantor keeps us engaged with his outstanding voice & many uplifting musical arrangements. Our Purim Spiel each year is in the tune to a different popular singer's work, and it is so creative!! I enjoy the barbecue, even though I am vegan (great salad). The building is beautiful. The congregants are warm & friendly.

I made my daughter's birthday party, the manager shouted horrible to the children of the court, treated the guests very badly, and besides, he went and put his hands in the food without permission, horrible!
