North Ritz Club vs Russo's - help please!

A few weeks ago I booked the North Ritz Club with FH. We both loved it at the time, but I am now panicking because I received a bad review from a friend who is 'in the catering business' and attended the NRC on New Year's Eve. She said she wasn't at all impressed with the food but didn't really go into specifics about what was so bad. I asked the NRC for a tasting, and they said that if I do a tasting now, that I wouldn't be able to do another for my wedding (and my wedding is 2 years away)!

I have an Italian family that just had 2 recent weddings at the Carltun and Hamlet CC in Commack so food is very important! I priced Russo's on the Bay for the SAME night as my wedding (because I have recently heard how wonderful their food is) and much to my disbelief, it was CHEAPER than the NRC! I don't know how the NRC would react to my cancellation, if I would lose a lot of $$$$ or even if canceling is worth the hassle. Any thoughts on this matter? I am driving my FH, friends and family (not to mention myself) crazy!!!

Thank you in advance!!!
