Cafe Banchetti

This review is for the summer concert series they have in the Grove. It's a nice setup with chairs and tables, covered by tents, and grill food available. There also are drinks but it's a cash bar only (credit cards ok for food) and not advertised that way, so bring cash. There are indoor bathrooms but the stalls don't lock which made it amusing to watch drunkies walk in on people. It was well lit, sound system was a little fuzzy on vocals, but overall it was a fun night. I advise not paying for the VIP seats though as they were off to the side without a view and also not covered by a tent. Side note about the actual banquet center- last party my family hosted there, they threw out the extra food and cake we brought without asking. That wasn't their decision and we lost what we paid for. Ask in the beginning to keep the leftovers.

Easter dinner buffet, what an unorganized nightmare. Took over an hour just to check in and be “seated” at a table that wasn’t even ours. Food was cold and down to scraps by the time we were able to get a plate. Not to mention you had to nearly fight someone to get water because they couldn’t keep up with the demand? Nowhere was it told that there was no free soda. Don’t get me wrong the food was great but I will not ever come back or recommend friends or family to an event like this again.

I recently attended a funeral breakfast and was very disappointed with Banchetti's. The silverware was mismatched and in deplorable condition, the plates at the buffet were wet and about 50% were dirty. The food was barely eatable. Even the rolls were stale. The sole waitress could not keep up with servicing the room which left many guests to go without. I have attended many, many events at Banchetti 's over the years and cannot believe how their standards have slipped. The Pandemic has left businesses understaffed but standards don't have to change also. I am not sure I'd return.

Desserts were very good. Brunch was a bit chaotic and a little loud (exposed metal roof, tile floor and no soundproofing in the quite full banquet hall). Servers really hustled and were attentive and friendly. Food was - not to my liking - but there was a lot to choose from. A la carte adult beverages were, to my mind, expensive. Final bill needed to be adjusted to reflect the cash deposit paid in advance. As a guest of a party, I thought it was OK - just. In fairness, holiday brunch buffets are not the best way to judge any facility, so with that in mind, the experience was adequate for what it was. Your milage will certainly vary.

Wow Easter buffet an experience I’ll never forget...not in a good way though...service was awful...made you pay up front probably because they know people would of walked out and now they got you...warm pop from Dixie cups that you had to pay for for some reason?? Why wouldn’t this be included in the bill?? Food was ice cold and disgusting...had to fight to get any extra food it seemed like...went down to the other buffet area because they had no bread...I felt bad for the servers because they were hustling and short staffed while the owner is probably in the back counting all the money...do yourself a favor and don’t ever step foot in this establishment I know I won’t !!!!

Mothers day brunch, we'll I am completely embarrassed I took my mom there. Everything was completely cold I was disgusted I can't imagine what my mom thought but she was as kind as can be because that's my mom. She cannot walk well and we asked to be up closer so she didn't have far to go so they seated us about as far as can be. Had to go home and eat again because that was not appetizing I thought for that amout of money it was going to be amazing, quite the opposite

Horrible experience.... i have never been to a buffet where I had to wait till I got home to have a drink of water.... I sat 2 hours with no beverage... I mean nothing... dry overcooked food, if you were lucky enough to get some. Was told I COULD have coffee if we paid for it... I guess $40 covers no beverages not even water oh wait except the table behind us who finally got water and 2 inch tall plastic Dixie cups in a stack put on their table as they were leaving... had to listen to people yelling they want their money back... no desserts left... that’s ok, had that at home too!!!
