We hosted a Saturday night event for 75 people at The View (June 2022) to celebrate our son and it was just about as perfect as it could get. We wanted a space where people could eat and hang out outside because of Covid, and The View fit the bill. But we didn't know what it would look or feel like (or even how the food would taste since we hadn't eaten there before), but everything turned out amazing.
The party was from 7-11pm. We had the L-shaped outdoor space from 7pm with two tables inside with curtains creating a partition from the rest of the restaurant. We had a band for background music from 7-9. At around 8:45/9, all other customers were gone and we moved all of the rest of the tables aside. We pre-loaded a playlist for the MyTunes "jukebox" and used the space as a dancefloor (and were able to keep all of the sliding glass doors open for additional Covid safety measures).
Billy was so easy to work with around arranging the menu (Italian vegetarian) and was so accommodating with two 13-year-olds who are gluten free. We worked to figure out the right configuration for the outside part and the tablecloths (and chair covers that they had, which we paid extra for, and we're so glad we did!) elevated the space and it looked beautiful.
We brought outdoor games, such as giant Connect 4, badminton, etc. for the kids (ages ranging from 6 through 17), which we were able to set up around the corner but in sight from the patio. Being able to have those was huge for the younger guests!
The food was excellent! Billy and Bill put together a custom menu for us, since they didn't have anything fully vegetarian on the catering menu. This included stuffed shells and an artichoke salad. We also had stands of cheese and crackers, caprese skewers, and Mediterranean food, as well as some passed appetizers. Based on Billy's recommendation, we also got several pizzas, which were given right to the kids, and made them so happy.
On top of everything, each staff member working that night was kind, helpful, accommodating, and just lovely.
We had an incredible experience with The View for our event and I would highly recommend this venue--it truly exceeded our expectations and we will definitely host events here...
Read moreWe rented out The View’s Tavern for our son’s first birthday party this past Saturday. From the first phone call to the last email, the owner Billy and his administrative assistant Cathleen, have been nothing but kind, helpful, and accommodating. The room was perfect for our family and friends (we had about 50 adults and about 12 kids). The patio was closed as it is the winter but I’m sure the room is even better when the patio is open in the warmer months. The cook made some delicious food that everyone loved - especially the meatballs. I chose to do stationary food options but you can also choose to do buffet style or passed hors d’oeuvres. The drinks from the bartender were great as well! Highly recommend The View if you’re looking for a room to rent for a...
Read moreWe hosted a recent baby shower at the View for 45 women. The food was great and our guests raved about the homemade meatballs and vodka sauce and the delicious chicken piccata! Working with Billy, the owner, Cathleen, his administrative assistant and Ashley at the bar, our service was excellent and all of our questions were answered no matter how insignificant they seemed. The September weather was spectacular and the view of the golf course was beautiful! I recommend this location for great service, great food and great...
