My family booked an event here and our experience was horrible. From the owner to all the servers attitudes being poor, not one of them smiled or was pleasant in what should have been a happy time. We had preordered food and drinks to be had for everyone at the table and didn’t receive them. They ran out of food we preordered. We waited 45 minutes after all our guests arrived to even set up. They brought all our food out before we even got to set up so it sat out for an hour. By the time we all got to start eating they started cleaning up all the food before anyone could digest or even debate on wanting seconds. They only gave each guest one drink and never returned for refills or to ask if anyone needed more refreshments in a duration of 3 hours. I was asked 4 times if I was finished with my plate as I was actively still eating and picking at it, and had the waitress roll her eyes at me when I said I wasn’t finished. They were so ready for us to leave they started mopping all the floors making them wet and slippery as guests were trying to leave and pack up all our supplies. We are lucky none of our pregnant or elderly guests slipped, especially with no wet floor sign. And then receiving attitude for people walking on their freshly cleaned floors, as if our stuff wasn’t still in the room. NEVER felt more unwelcome in a small town establishment than this one. For how much we paid this was all...
Read moreI have been once before and it was great. This was about a year ago. We thought it would be cute to bring my aunt, cousin and her 2 little girls. They dressed up in cute outfits for the occasion. We all drove over an hour to get there.
The venue is cozy, quaint and super cute. The food was okay, but the service was awful. This is probably one of the worst experiences I have ever had with waitstaff. We got out a lot and I have worked in restaurants so I try to be extra patient. She brought our food and then never checked back in again. After about 20 or 30 minutes of waiting for her to ask if we needed anything, we finally cleared our own table and had to chase her down to order dessert. We also then waited another 20 to 30 minutes to get our check. We again asked her multiple times for it. Meanwhile, she wcrewed up drink orders on at least 2 other tables.
I don't know if they just can't handle more than one table at a time or what the issue was, but the waitress was absolutely ridiculous and rude. Will...
Read moreThe Strawberry Tree offers a delightful tea service that I recommend if you want to get together with a small group of ladies. The atmosphere is enjoyable (the house has been beautifully restored) and the goods are pleasing to look at. (I have to admit that I think they are overpriced and largely made in China.) I give this a high review because it is an unexpected gem in Curwensville. I think it could be improved by selling handmade goods from local artists as opposed to mass-produced goods, or by reducing the prices of the goods already in the store. I hope to enjoy the charming setup of tea and snacks again in the...
