The food and service was good and my guests had a good time. That's why I'm leaving a 3 instead of a 1. However, if you are booking an event, make sure you ask a lot of questions from the company who is managing their group dining. They seem to outsource it to a group that I found to be lacking in communication. Based on everything I read on the website, the Atrium is a "private" space. When I arrived, it was semi-private and our group was at reserved tables in a crowded bar, with one server. Again, the experience ended up being fine, but it definitely wasn't what I expected that I was paying for. I'm not sure why I would agree to the per person minimum just for a dinner reservation. I should have just called the restaurant and made a regular dinner reservation. I think it ultimately would have been cheaper, and less frustrating given what I thought I was paying for.

When I spoke with the manager, he told me there was nothing he could really do because they contract out with this company who manages their group dining, despite the fact that my contract clearly doesn't say I was booked for a semi-private event. He was nice, but seemed to have no authority to make any offer of repair.

When I pointed out to the company after the fact, that nothing in my contract or in their web materials indicated I was booking a semi-private event. And in fact, it indicated the opposite. The response was, "the food & beverage minimum would have been much higher." Ok, but that doesn't make right that you miscommunicated about the experience. The rep apologized and promised to communicate better in the future, but it definitely left a bad taste that they didn't make any offers of monetary repair for what was clearly miscommunication on their part. And not a small thing either. It was the difference between telling my staff that we had a private space and my staff eating dinner in a crowded bar. Luckily, I have a fun, easy going team so we made lemonade and had a great night. But not all group dynamics are like that so just ask your questions on every little detail.
