Not a good place for a wedding, we left starving
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 9/9/08
We went to the skytop for a wedding, and we left starving! The only appetizers that were offerred were cheese and crackers, (not even high end cheese and crackers) and veggies and ranch dressing. They had a tray or 2 of appetizers that they walked around with, but when they got to us, the tray was empty, and they did not bring out more. When the lousy cocktail hour ended, the Matre D sent us in to the Board of Directors meeting instead of the wedding. When we got downstairs, we gave the waiter $10 to get us some drinks. He came back with the drinks, and a $56 bill. he said the open bar was not open right now, when we didn't immediatly pay, management came over and demanded the money, we paid so as not to create a scene at the wedding. The waiter should have told us that the bar was not open yet, and that we could either wait for the bar to open, or pay for the drinks. We would have waited. When the meal came, everyone cleaned their plates because there was not much food, and we were all starving. Everyone ate the cake and bread because we were so hungry. My mother was a banquet waitress for years, and when I told her about the cocktail hour, she was schocked.
The veiw was beautiful, the place itself is beautiful, but I would never recommend anyone to have their wedding there.
We had a great time at the wedding, as the Dj was great, but we looked for a diner on the way home!!! It seems that the Skytop expects everyone to pay for the view, and they won't notice that there was no food. Well, we all noticed.
