Ukrainian Cultural Center — Attraction in Warren

I arranged a funeral luncheon with the office staff for my mother for Monday, June 12th, 2017. The women helping me book the event let me know that there was a minimum of 35 guests, but we knew that we would have at least 50 guests. We were told that the funeral director was going to count the number of people at the funeral mass at Our Lady of Grace Church, and call the Ukrainian Hall with the final count. When we arrived at the hall, we found that our luncheon was set up in a small room (even though the entire hall was empty with no other parties at the time. Also, although the funeral director had called in the number as 80 guests, they did not have enough seats or tables for our luncheon upon our arrival. Needless to say, we were very embarrassed when it took the staff at least 15 minutes to add another table to this very small room, and our guests were uncomfortable, thinking that they were putting us out and almost left! Then we had to deal with the fact that there was not enough food for our party! As you can tell, I am very angry and frustrated about this event!

At the table that I sat at, we had to ask for one more chicken breast, because we were short, and the person had to wait at least 10 minutes just to receive a small chicken breast. At our table, we got one bowl of roasted potatoes, and before we took any, we had to figure out that each guest could have two small pieces of potato! This also happened with the bowl of carrots that we had to share. Can you imagine this, when it was supposed to be "family style". We had enough buns for most of the people at the table, but had to ask for one more, because one of the guests did not get a bun!

I could go on, but as you can see, I am very angry and frustrated at our experience at this hall!! I expressed my utter disappointment at our treatment, and received a very weak apology, along...

I just booked this place for my wedding reception. Here are my pros and cons.

Pros: everybody had so much fun. I loved that the bar was included. The main lady who was serving our food and helping with the cake was amazing and so very sweet! Also the food was delicious! Which says a lot since I'm an extremely picky eater!

Cons: The owner was rude. She was nice to me the day of the wedding but rude to some of my guests. But she had been rude to me previously after I already hired them. One of my little cousins is only 7 years old and grabbed his own plate to hold when he went through the line to get his food. The head cook snatched the plate out of his hands. And said that they are the only ones that are allowed to hold the plates. Everywhere else they go they get to hold their own plates and the serving line puts the food on their plate for them. So that is what he is used to. Plus he is only 7. I feel like that whole thing could have been avoided and handled differently. Also, we have to pay ahead of time for the whole event. I have several people who ended up not showing and now I was out of that money because they do not reimburse. I feel like you should only pay a certain amount of front and then pay the rest the day of after they get a final headcount of how many shows up. We are on a very tight budget and that extra money could...

MOST EXCELLENT!!!Great Friday Buffet!!! MEATBALLS & GRAVY Fantastic. Buckwheat stuffed cabbage was super delicious and an authentic treat, white fish was very good. Chicken Kyiv was special. Buckwheat with carrots onions and potatoes was a meal in itself. The pierogis with onions, butter and sour cream...the usual excellence. Lots and lots of hot crisp vegetables and breads. Salads and soups fresh and hot. 2 desserts on the dessert table, 2 more individualy made for you from the kitchen. I had the Strawberry short cake with vanilla icecream & whipped cream. Old School short cake not the supermarket yellow sponge!!! Hot coffee, table cloths, atentive staff. This was not an excellent brunch.....IT WAS A DINNING EXPERIENCE. I'm on carnivore 6 days a week, and on the 7th I shall...
