Business ProfileforByzantine Center at the Grove

I gave ***m 3 stars because though ***y were inexpensive ***y were not well organized. They also stated that people could come and wait in *** lobby before *** reserved time but could not enter *** ballroom. They gave everybody a hard time about going into *** lobby. People had to pee and I told ***m what she told me that ***y could enter. If people went into *** ballroom afterwords that is on her for not shutting that room. Also paid for a bartender but ***y didnt have one instead *** (who i assume *** owner) bartended. It is whatever but seemed strange. She also stated that *** parking lot would have lights on and it did not. They also did not really help us clean up, ***y took awhile to cut *** cake after i told ***m about it, made an announcement via microphone, and even ***n i still had to tell somebody for which ***y had to find somebody else to do it. Honestly seems like *** owner simply got handed down *** building and hired last minute help or family to help ra***r than run an actual business which could be why it was cheap i am not sure. I understand why ***y turned *** light off on us when we were leaving but thats unsafe, in fact ***re was a glass bottle shattered on *** ground and *** officer had to use his flashlight and stand by it so nobody ran it over because ***y didnt have anybody to clean it up. Yet ***y seen us packing *** cars and turned it off. This is *** light right outside *** doors keep in mind no parking lights were on. This is a tactic to get us to leave but it was not safe. I will not be surprised if she sends us a passive aggressive email. Note *** space was nice and ***y were willing to give us 6 seated tables instead of 8 and *** larger room for covid reasons and I do appreciate that greatly. The food was decent though *** chicken tasted rubbery and *** eggplant was primarily cheese. Still dont know what eggplant taste like because cheese was all I tasted. The cookie set up was nice and *** pasta and mash potatoes were amazing. I have not heard anything bad from any of my guests about that. I would recommend this place if you are on a very tight budget but o***rwise I would recommend going to PA. They have beautiful ****** if you are flexible with your date or book far enough in advance.
