"I go to a meeting here every week. The setting is nice and they always have the room set up just how we need it to be which is very nice. They provide our meeting with coffee and water and my one piece of constructive criticism is that whatever brand of coffee they get is awful so I wish they’d consider getting another brand. Otherwise it is a great event and meeting space"

"Excellent establishment. This is a great location to host professional events and meetings for local businesses. My children and I attended a Christmas event at this location. The food was catered by the Elk lodge and it was delicious. It was very well flavored/seasoned."
