Went to Wedding at John Anthony's this weekend..JUST MY HONEST OPINION!!--EDITED on 7/26/04- OLD APRIL POST< LET IT GO!!

The good part, I was wasted and had lots of fun. BUT, now no one is who getting married there get upset, but this was just my opinion on this wedding!!
I'll start off with cocktail hour. NOt enough chairs and tables to eat at. I wound up just getting cold antipasta stuff and standing the whole time, let me tell ya my tootsies were hurting. THe cocktail hour wasn't all that spectacular to me, they had a carving station that was chincy on the meat. The eggplant parm was spicy(I know this cause family members actually ate and got seats). To me, they rushed getting the other wedding's cocktail people out of there and didn't even vacuum the rugs. The food was cramped together and too close to the entrance. It was mayhem cause the table cards were set up about 4 feet from the carving station.
It just seemed dingy and dirty to me. THe same went for the room upstairs. They had curtains near the bar area and all you saw was piles and piles of yucky tablecloths.
As being 100% italian, their sauce tasted like ketchup with some garlic in it. The bride chose a spring salad with walnuts, didn't touch it. Entrees were Filet Mignon and chicken with brandy sauce. or salmon. 1/2 our table sent back the meat cause it was still mooing, and the chicken tasted like it had heinz brown gravy on it. I heard the salmon was ok though.
The waiters asked me once, what i wanted to drink. They did clean up tables pretty quickly though and bring drinks when asked too.

The woman who was letting us into cocktail hour and the reception area had an attitude problem, which no one was too happy about.

Bathrooms: There is only 1 bathroom in the whole place with 4 stalls and while 2 weddings were going on at the same time, I never waited to use it. Very weird..

All in all, I went home extremely hungry and couldn't wait for breakfast the next morning.

Just my opinion from a guest point of view. EVERY WEDDING IS DIFFERENT. I hope I didn't upset too many of you, but I had to give you guys a GUEST'S REVIEW. I will not and should not edit...
