at the Lessings locations? I have been reading about so many brides who didn't eat the day of their wedding...but that their guests said the food was really good. I am looking for some advice in the cuisine department. I want to be more focused on providing my guests with good food.
West Sayville CC and Smithtown Landing seem to the the places I am leaning towards. (Is there a place I am overlooking?)
thank you!!

Land's End used to be Lessings a few years ago. Now it is Lovin Oven.

I had an appt with them this past Sat but I had to cancel...I couldn't make it up to long island.
But i'm getting more and more curious of that place.

I think Lessings owns The POst Office Cafe in Babylon. The food there is great.

Re: How is the food....
oh great...this is very good to know. Sometimes you think with some all inclusive places...that they've got to be cutting corners somewhere. I understand that the food can't be perfect especially when it is going to made for over 100 people...but I would love for my guests to enjoy what they are eating.

Re: How is the food....
IMHO, you should ask for a food tasting before making a decision to book any catering hall. I look at it this way . . . if I was buying a car I would take it for a test drive, before spending $$$$ per person, I want to taste the food. I personally do not like Lessings food at all, but from reading the other posts, this opinion stands alone.

Re: How is the food....
Be careful-Lessing's is not really all inclusive. They usually include flowers, but the packages are basic and you have to pay for upgrades. They don't include DJ, Photo's, invitations, etc.
That said-they are very reasonably priced and I love most of their facilities. But I am biased, I worked for them for years as did my grandmother. The only reason I am not having my reception at one of their places is because I really wanted it on the water, and they don't have a facility really close to the water (except the Riverview and they only offered Saturday afternoon weddings). Good luck!

Re: How is the food....
My wedding was at the Bourne and I thought the food was really good, but to be perfectly honest I did not think it was good as it was when we went to the tasting.
The cocktail was huge and that food was really yummy esp the chicken quesidillas. I thought the entrees were just ok, but better than at most halls I have been to. At the wedding they brought DH and I all the entrees to try. My favorite was the chicken dish that was wrapped in a pastry, right now I can't remember what exactly it was called.
