Marina del Rey or Russo's??? HELPPP! (with update)

Original post by pupidda122505

First off sorry if this is long...As most of u know I'm a newbie and just got engaged 1 week ago but already I'm starting to look at halls because I want to set the date and relax for a lil bit. So yesterday we went to visit our first hall - Marina del Rey in Throgsneck. I've been to 2 weddings at Marina and plus my parents and a dozen other family members have gotten married there. The place is absolutely gorgeous. The view at Marina is beyond beautiful and if any of u haven't gone there in the past 2 years then you really won't recognize it because the whole place underwent renovations last year and now it seems like a completely different hall. One word to describe it: amazing. Now here's my dilemma...marina is gorgeous but i'm not sure if the menu is worth what they quoted me, because from what i hear the prices are basically the same at russo's and i looked at the wedding menu and there is an obvious surplus of food offered. In my opinion, no one beats Russo's reputation of food quality and service and that's the most important factor to both my FH's and my family. But honestly I can't get the room and scene at Marina out of my head...so here's my dilemma: do i go with Marina and get the beautiful scenery and compromise some food or do I go with Russo's where I know there will be a surplus of food but without the great scenery. i'd really appreciate any of your advice. Thanks

It's in Howard Beach Queens. It's definitely worth all the hype. I've never been to a place with the amount and quality of food they have.

Marina del Ray definately. That place is absolultely georgeous. I have been to both and my preference would have been Marina Del Ray but it is not convenient for all my guests to travel to the Bronx.
