Pond House Cafe for lunch had great service. Surprisingly had to wait for table, so I suppose reservations are a good idea. Short rib grilled cheese was very filling and tasted great. Service was very friendly. During winter not much to see outside due to sbow cover, but I imagine when flowers are in bloom it must look great outside.

We photographed a wedding here in January and the Pond House was beautifully decorated, the staff was professional and helpful, and the food was excellent! Beautiful location for a wedding, big dance floor for the party, nice outside patio even in the chill of January. Highly recommend!

I had my wedding reception here in June, and it was absolutely spectacular! Leslie was an incredible wedding coordinator who made everything seamless and stress-free. I had a rental and no time to set up, but Leslie handled it all and created such a beautiful setup. She even made sure my husband and I had time to eat! From setup to breakdown the next day, everything went perfectly according to plan. And the food, truly 10/10, it became the talk of the town!

We recently had our wedding reception at the Pond House and it was nothing short of amazing. The staff at the Pond House, especially, Charlene, Diana and Alissa, just went above and beyond for us.

Alissa, our wedding day of coordinator, was very personable, professional and detailed. She was so on top of everything and very communicative leading up to the big day. She ensured that everything ran smoothly and that we were all well taken care of! She also did a wonderful job helping our garden wedding vision come to life!

Besides, the amazing staff, the venue itself was just stunning with the beautifully decorated banquet hall, bringing the outside beauty inside. We loved having our cocktail hour outside on the terrace and then the remainder of the reception in the main hall.

The food was absolutely delicious! From the perfect cocktail hour bites to the buffet options (people raved about the beef tenderloin and nut encrusted salmon!) to the drinks, they hit it out of the park. As foodies ourselves, we were so happy to have such tasty food (which is tough to find when serving 100 people!).

Overall, we would highly recommend the Pond House for the attentive and generous staff, amazing atmosphere and fantastic food.

We were married at the Pond House just yesterday, and our wedding was, quite simply, PERFECT. The venue was amazing, they worked with us on a relatively short time frame (less than 6 months), relatively small wedding (40 guests), and it couldn’t have gone better. Our guests loved it, it looked spectacular, the food was on point, and I especially cannnot say enough about the staff. I am writing this from our honeymoon suite, and we’re still kind of basking in the glow. Thank you so much to everyone at the Pond House for helping to make our day a huge success!

Ceremony pictures were done professionally, so we don’t have them yet, but I’m including some shots from friends and family to show how wonderful the venue looked on the day, and how much fun everyone had.

Great little place for a relaxing lunch. We sat outdoors because the weather was gorgeous and we had just walked the park. They were closing in 30 mins when we arrived but they were able to seat us quickly and surprisingly it did not affect our service. My friend and I shared a salad and sandwich and it was wonderful. The drinks were good as well. They were preparing for a wedding that evening and it looked like it was going to be beautiful.

Absolutely love when my clients choose this location to get married!! The staff is amazing, cheerful, full of great energy, and so helpful. The grounds are gorgeous. I almost get overwhelmed every time I photograph here because it’s just acres and acres of the most beautiful photo locations you could imagine. This place is full of endless opportunities!

I had brunch today at Pond House Café and the experience was wonderful. The staff was very attentive and welcoming. I loved that we were able to reserve our seats easily through Open Table, super convenient.

I tried a mimosa that was absolutely delicious and some crab benedict eggs that were amazing . Prices are very reasonable for the quality and the lovely atmosphere.

Definitely a place I would go back to and recommend. ✨

I’ve recently gotten married at the Pond House. It was the most amazing experience and affordable compared to every other wedding venue we had reached out to. Every single member of the team from the management, coordinators, DJ, servers, house keeping, etc were so professional and on point throughout the whole process. I could not thank them enough after the wedding. We highly recommend this place if you’re looking to get married. We could not believe the food was from here. It each meal was DELICIOUS. Their decorations were BEAUTIFUL. There were additional things we received that were not even included in what we paid for. They went above and beyond from beginning to end. My wife and I felt like royalty the whole time and were beyond impressed. We NEVER felt like we were unimportant or being rushed away. They were ALWAYS welcoming and understanding. We even received a beautiful letter from our coordinator Alissa (who held our hand throughout the whole endeavor and eased all of our stress, and helped us to think of things we weren’t possibly aware of) afterward and a wonderful assortment gift from Diana and the team. I am forever thankful for them and the experience we had. The memories will live with us forever and we are now permanent advocates and customers for the Pond House. I’ve never came across such outstanding service and kindness.
