I came here for a friend's wedding and had a great time. Yelping a wedding venue is hard because there are so many independent variables that are specific to the wedding you're attending, but The Manor did a great job from start to finish which warrants praise.
According to my parents, The Manor was the *it* place to get married back in the day, and I certainly believe it. It's a bit of a drive from NYC (it took me ~1 hour from the Bronx) but it's a really pretty place. The grounds themselves are lovely; beautiful gardens and quaint buildings situated along the property – I felt like I was on the set of the TV show Dynasty. The actual ceremony was held in the gardens in a gazebo/pavilion which was a beautiful backdrop for a wedding. The inside was just as lovely – very upscale, almost Victorian-esque themed.
The entire wedding was pretty seamless, and the food was pretty good for catering hall wedding fare. A nice touch was that in addition to wedding cake for dessert they had a Viennese table – I was impressed.
Overall I had a wonderful time. The Manor may not fit everyone's taste, but they put on a great wedding, the food is decent, and the grounds are beautiful.
I came here for their $65 Dinner (lobster) buffet. It's expensive but worth it. The Martinis (Mango especially) were perfectly made. I recommend trying their International coffee which is made in front of you (staff puts on a show). I highly recommend coming here if you have a large party for a special occasion.
My family and I have always been a huge fan of the Lobster Buffet here. FYI: If you love seafood/lobster you must try it at least once!
Yesterday for Thanksgiving, we decided to do their Thanksgiving buffet. It was fantastic! So many selections and everything was delicious. The turkey was moist and tender and the gravy was hearty and rich. The potatoes were perfect. I also had a few slices of lamb that was perfectly cooked. (my only complaint was no mint jelly. Seriously? Lamb and no mint jelly??) There was something for everyone. A ham station, oysters and cold shrimp cocktail, pene with vodka sauce, tortellini alfredo, tilapia fillet in a cream sauce, and so much more! The lobster and mushroom bisque soups are to die for! Naturally there was chicken fingers and french fries for the kiddies. The four huge tables of desserts were outstanding as well. We had no less than four servers in our section that were only a gesture away for drinks and whatever else we might have needed. Plates were cleared away as soon as you pushed it away from you. I'm glad we went to the 12:30PM seating because when we left at almost 3PM, the lobby was PACKED with people waiting to get in! Needless to say, it's almost 2AM and I haven't eaten since I got home! Maybe by 8AM I'll be able to eat some breakfast. 🙂
Went for the Lobster Buffet on a Saturday night to celebrate my anniversary. The grounds are beautiful and perfect for picture taking. The inside also has some beautiful photo opportunities.
The room where the buffet was held I thought could use a slight makeover. The chairs seemed to be pretty old and could use a facelift.
The waitstaff were very very attentive. They were polite, non-intrusive and quick to pick up the empty plates. Water glasses were constantly refilled without asking.
I thought the food was excellent. I really enjoyed the lobster salad stuffed into half of an advocado. The shrimp cocktail were huge and fresh. There were plenty of cold salads which were all pretty tasty.
Desserts were good too. There was a lot of variety includongb ice cream cake and sherbet. The lemon sherbet was a nice and refreshing.
We will be returning with the family for Mother's Day.
Drove almost 2 hours here from NYC to celebrate a birthday with the lobster buffet and it was so worth it!
We were greeted warmly when we arrived, by both the valet and the hostesses. We were taken to our table promptly and our waiter came over almost immediately.
We enjoyed everything about the buffet dinner. The selection was amazing: from smoked salmon to cream of mushroom soup, chicken fingers to lobster, chocolate mousse to crème brûlée, if you want it they most likely have it at The Manor.
After dinner we toured the beautiful hall and enjoyed the amazing view of the courtyard.
For those who aren't too stuffed after dinner there's dancing upstairs in The Dome.
All in all a good experience. I would return and would definitely recommend.,
My wife and I celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary at the manor last night.
730 seating for their famous lobster buffet.
I had not visited the manor for several years.
It was nice to see them relax the dress code a bit.
Used to be that you had to wear a shirt, tie, jacket etc.
As of now it's business casual. I wore a suit collared shirt and I scrapped the tie.
The grounds outside are still second to none.
Gorgeous grass, trees, flowers etc surrounding the tremendous mansion.
The inside is old English style, very tastefully decorated. Service is as I remember, quite a bit of attention. The bill for my wife and I was $145 with tip.
The buffet is $60 a person plus tax tip and beverages.
In the past I went to the manor for 3 things, lobster, prime rib and desserts. I was never impressed with the food aside from these 3 things. I was pleasantly surprised and I believe they may have changed chefs
I enjoyed the shrimp cocktail….peeled yay!
The mushroom ravioli was outstanding
Tortellini Alfredo was well above average.
Short ribs were very good, cooked down in a red wine sauce. Prime rib was excellent, offered with a mushroom gravy or au jus both were great choices.
The lobster was plentiful, whole lobsters split in half, claws removed. I had about 8 tails and called it a day.
Butter is provided and yes the lobster could have been seasoned better. I found myself sprinkling salt into the butter. Other options which I declined to taste included smoked salmon, turkey, lamb, roasted chicken, pate, quiche, assorted cheeses.
I recall having sushi in the past at the manor however there wasn't any last night. Dessert selections are impressive, creme bulee, ice cream, sorbet, pastries, cookies, chocolate dipped fruit, cheesecake and apple cobbler. The apple cobbler is the star imo.
Coffee is included. Expresso and cappuccino are additional, sodas are $3.75 each, martinis are $12 the price of a glass of average wine is $9 while a bottle was between $35 and $45
Overall this was a nice evening, a good value imo.
Thursday night might be the best night to go, very quiet, no lined, fresh food.
Impressive seafood buffet here. They have oysters, lobsters, shrimps, salmon, scallops, paella, lobster bisque soup, lobster ravioli and more. For meat lovers, there's beef, lamb and chicken at the carving station. If you have a sweet tooth, you'll feel like you're in heaven. They have sorbets, napoleon ice cream, assorted cheesecake and fruit tarts, apple cobblers, assorted fresh fruits with chocolate fountains chocolate cakes and mousse, etc.
I came hungry and left very happy. It's best that you rsvp. They will ask you at the entrance to the hall dining name of reservations. Upon arrival to park, you have the option to valet park (to the right) or self park (drive to the left hand lot). Inside, you have the option to check in your coat. On website says formal/business attire but I see some folks dressed casual (sweater and pants). I guess as long as you're not in jeans.
Will definitely come again for other special occasions. I highly recommend seafood lovers to try it once.
Since I have a love for seafood, this was a place I wanted to try. Lobster buffet? I say yes to that. This place is a formal setting that says jackets are required. So I got dressed in my suit and took my wife to our post Valentine's Day dinner. When you arrive you can choose valet parking or self park. The restaurant is a upscale place so no jeans and t shirts. They tell you when you confirm your reservations, and yes reservations are required. I booked the table on open table or you can go to the Manor's website as well.
We were seated quickly and the waiter took our drink order quickly as well. Afterwards, we went to the buffet table and got our food. It was a nice section including lobster, beef, paella, salads, lobster salad, bruschetta, oysters, vegetables, and other dishes as well. However, the main event for me was the lobster. It was just steamed and sliced in half with no seasoning at all. It was fine because you can just add a little salt, pepper, and a splash of lemon to make it tastier. The dessert table was very good because they had all kinds of sweet treats for everyone. They had cheesecake topped with fruits, ice cream sorbet, fresh fruits, chocolate cake with mousse and flan . Overall, I enjoyed the selection of food but its pretty expensive and this is a place you go for special occasions only. It can drain your wallet if you go often, maybe not if you can afford it.
