I wish this restaurant would go back to serving the general public, at least on weekends but as far as I know, they only do special events now. I attend a luncheon there monthly, and the food is always great. The rooms are beautiful and unique. I remember when there used to be an actual woman in costume swinging above the bar. Lots of nostalgia here.

The food is good. The staff is friendly. The garden area gets really hot though. Wish the windows were tinted.

The restaurant is only open for private conferences or meetings, not open to the public for every day meals. I recently attended the SAARTA, 70th Jubilee celebration and had a delicious meal. The meal, which was served by the house waiters and waitresses consisted of tea, water, coffee, salad, bread rolls and a piece of chocolate or white cake for dessert. Our meal was chicken piccata, mashed potatoes, and deliciously prepared carrots. You can either rent out a choice of two different sized ball rooms, depending on the size of your party and I imagine you choose your choice of meal or not. It has wooden floors, lots of mirrors, chandeliers, a stage if you need one as well as a piano. The smaller room has glass windows you can look outside and see the garden and lots of light. You get to decorate! The service was outstanding! You really didn't have to ask for anything, it was brought to you!

We had our wedding ceremony here on September 3, 2021. We had 100 guests. This venue is absolutely beautiful! The entry is grand and ample parking is available.
The Venue responds quickly to questions and worked well with my vendors (Cake and DJ).
We had our ceremony in the Gold Room upstairs. We were allowed to rehearse and decorate the day prior which was VERY helpful. The room was soft, elegant and romantic. The seating was good and allowed guests room to move comfortably. The only complaint is that it was very, very hot. Our Banquet Manager did turn on the A/C but it was not enough. I stood with sweat literally dripping down my neck and back as I said my vows. My hair was wet. I was so afraid that I would sweat through my dress and people would see it. Note - my dress was light and backless. My guests were also dripping in sweat. I was a little embarrassed and had to keep apologizing.
Our reception was downstairs in the Crystal Room. Wow!! It’s was so beautiful and everyone repeatedly complimented the decor. This is definitely an amazing place to get married! The dance floor was a great space and our guests loved it. Shannon was so sweet and helpful. She used my preferred flowers and was super to work with. Our Banquet Manager also stayed diligent, organized and constantly checked in on us! The serving staff was quick, efficient and helpful. This really was a great crew! I am so grateful for them.
Sadly, this room was very hot also. Every time someone hugged me, I had to apologize for the sweat dripping down my back. Needless to say, my Groom was soaked in a full tuxedo.
The food provided by Absolutely Delicious Catering at the Venue was wonderful. We had several guests comment on how delicious and tasty it was. We had the poblano chicken, garlic mashed potatoes and vegetables. I would absolutely eat this again if I could. It really was delicious!
Overall, our wedding was perfect and BEAUTIFUL! I am glad that I chose this venue and really appreciated the staff. The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is due to all of us having to sweat all night (.
One small note- we were charged for security but never saw this person inside or outside at all. Luckily, we are a mature crowd and didn’t need it.

Took me so long to finally have this review posted....but it's finally here! I had Nidia as my consultant for the venue. Throughout the wedding planning process, she was professional & helpful when I had doubt in the planning. She helped w/ everything from the venue design to help change between from ceremony to reception. She was very positive all throughout. And a special shout out to Brian, the banquet manager of the night was responsive and professional of the night before and the night of the wedding event. Also, great food services they had that night. I got great feedback that night for all the food, and wish they could have had seconds.

If you’ve never been to the old San Francisco steakhouse, you are missing out. This nostalgic building is absolutely incredible. A lot of history and visually appealing. They have a lot of older artifacts and American history on display. Nice hardwood floors, art, display guns, old arcade machines, old signs, you name it it’s here. This would be one of the most amazing places to hold a wedding or a business conference. There is even an old swing above the bar for a barmaid to swing on. Incredible. You absolutely need to check this place out totally worth looking at.
