We hosted a 90 person graduation event at the Grill at Poppy Ridge. It is a beautiful setting and room, and it was very nicely set with ten tables and a buffet line. There are multiple buffet options and the food is average. We picked the location mostly for the location and space.
Our biggest challenge for our party was service and communications not flowing from the manager to their staff. While booking the place, we were told that we couldn't plug in our laptop into their Audio/Video. However, they have a very good A/V set up and the bartender had to jump in to help us set up.
On the day of the event, the events manager wasn't on site. While we had an agreement with the events manager that after the formal cake cutting their staff will cut and put the cake in small plates. The staff wasn't aware and it took forever for them to cut/plate it, while most of our guests left.
This place has potential, if it is run more professionally. They could be my chosen place for parties/events, if they can up their game on food and mostly event service. Hope...
Read morePorters Restaurant @ Poppy Ridge Golf Course is one of my very favorite places to dine in Livermore. The food is absolutely spectacular, the wait staff, bar staff, event management staff and other restaurant employees are outstanding - high marks for customer service and satisfaction!!!, the view is both tranquil and serene as well as stimulating for either or both nature and/or golf lovers. It is a peaceful drive down Greenville road to a special place with a 360 view of the Livermore Valley and 'wine country'. Porters is a must for Weekend Brunch or a business Lunch or a Dinner date with friends, family or a loved one...or just grab a Bloody Mary & some onion rings at the bar, catch some game highlights on the TV screens and play a round of golf. :)
