Nice location for that special event. This was one of 3 weddings we had within 30 days. I have a new found respect for people who are throwing a lavish wedding. Finding a good location isn't easy. This place is a good pick (although my wedding is somewhere else).
What you can expect:
*Beautiful outside grounds. The wedding ceremony was outdoors on a perfect day. Very casual and brief (just like it should be).
*Staff is extremely friendly and on top of their game. The entire wedding was a cocktail hour so food was non stop. They made sure everything was fully stocked.
*Speaking of food, it was very good. Of course the cocktail hour (wedding) and dessert table are what people talk about…and this was no let down. Typical wedding cocktail hour fare but it was done right.
*Valet was top notch. In and out quickly…even with the mad rush at the end.
ENJOY!
Yooooooooo, this place right here?! My lord! I just got back from my cousin's wedding reception dinner party here and they put on a spread of the century.
The venue itself is laid out quite nicely to accommodate guests in various parts of the building. We started off which a cocktail hour in the bar area. The bar section had ample room for a buffet-style appetizer to be set-up and not interfere with guest seating. There had to be at least 100 guests and the place was full but not overly crowded. The drinks and the food were all prepared very nicely. Lasagna, pizza, meatballs, and your typical Italian antipasto platter spread. One of the bartenders Phil, was the man of the night in my book. He was mixing up drinks all night upstairs and downstairs. My favorite was the signature drink of the night, the "Mint To Be" mojito. Lightly sweet but not overly so. Very balanced flavors between the alcohol and the additional ingredients. You don't taste the rum in a good mojito but It kind of creeps up on you. Let's just say that after a few of Phil's mojitos I had the urge to serenade the newlyweds with my rendition of "That's Amore" …in a speedo…while doing a handstand…underwater…or something equally ridiculous.
After the cocktail hour we took things upstairs to the main dining area/banquet hall. The food options were chicken, salmon, and filet mignon. I tasted all 3 and they ALL were prepared to perfection. The filet that I ordered was cooked to true medium, per my request.
And alas came the Venetian Table experience. WOW! This spread had a cotton candy machine, a popcorn machine, dessert cocktails, brownies, zeppelins, waffles, cookies, cheesecake, wedding cake, cheese cake, other cake. ice cream, fruit cobbler, apple pie, it was dessert heaven. And everything was really good!
So, I don't know when I would ever be back the area to eat here again but I hope that my other cousin follows her brother's lead and gets married here. I don't care what happens with the marriage after the wedding but if they begin the relationship with a reception dinner event at Il Tulipano, I think that the relationship would have a fighting chance!
Two weddings — one a long time ago…too long ago to remember the details…and one relatively recently. From the recent experience all I can say is what the heck happened? I sampled a lot of food during the evening looking for something I would love enough to go back for and never found it.
The restaurant is gone and so with it what seems to have been better quality in the past. When the best memory, from a food perspective, is the cotton candy during the dessert hour something must be wrong. Perhaps it was an off night?
