Wallmans Saloner

Without a doubt the best gala dinner I have ever attended. The conference I was at had their grand gala dinner for 700 on a Thursday night.
Usually gala dinners, well — lack of a better description — suck! Over the past 20 years I have been to a hundred or so gala events. Most meals are assembly line prepared, not a full 5 star — 4 course meal.
Apps were Venison quiche and some kind of bread and salmon spread.
Soup — no idea. It sounded bad, like chocolate and chili soup. Yeah I was grossed out. But it was a terrific creamy bisque!!!
Main — beef brisket. Yum. Cut with a fork!!! Over fresh carrots, asparagus and creamed potatoes. A nice creamy gravy topped it off.
Desert — cheesecake.
The show was pretty good. I am not into Cher, not into 1970’s music but it was entertaining.
All in all — an excellent night.

The show is good fun, it could be better and i were last time when i were there, i was sitting the whole evening and missing the clown/​juggler Gecko that were entertaining last time.
Food is fine, its not superb sadly but what can you expect when they have to feed so many people at the same time. the portions are relatively small but ask for mere and they are happy to ably.

I must admit, I was a bit hesitant on attending a work function here but was pleasantly surprised.
The food was spectacular, including the cream of cauliflower soup with white chocolate and chili. I know it sounds weird but it was phenomenal. After soup we had the smoked salmon spread with an artichoke mousse and then the main course of steak and veggies. Dessert was truffles and raspberry cheesecake. All of the food was great, especially considering the quantity they had to serve in a short amount of time.
Now onto the show. Think variety show but good! There was a lot of singing, modern dance and a burlesque show that the males LOVED. All of the shows were tastefully done and there definitely is some talent in the room.
I don’t know much about this place and its history, but for a laid back, relaxing night this place delivered.
