We had an excellent brunch experience at Liberty Forge this past Mother’s Day. As someone with event experience, I appreciated the presentation and variety of the food, the way it was kept hot and trays were refreshed until well after brunch was scheduled to end. As far as everyone else in my party, they were impressed because everything we tried was absolutely delicious!(To name a few highlights: prime rib station, smoked salmon tortellini, potato crusted haddock and cream of crab soup. And the«19th Hole» cocktail!) The view of the greens from the patio are idyllic, very photogenic. Last but not least to mention, Sam went above and beyond to take care of us. He’s completely accommodating and hilarious; Liberty Forge is lucky to have him. We can’t wait to stop by again!

Attended a wedding here(after just getting married ourselves) and like the previous reviewer who wrote their review years ago, I can fully agree with and say that nothing at this place has changed. Sam, the bartender was the only wonderful thing that I can say about this place. If you like fruity drinks, ask him about his special. Here are some points if you are considering this venue for your event: 1. They stuck the cake by the window with the sun beating down on it on a 95 degree day. When the bride and groom went to cut into it, it toppled because it had melted on one side. 2. The dinnerware was filthy. Several people asked several times for clean stemware and cups, and it took the waitstaff a very long time to get these to the people who needed them. 3. No dance floor. The guests were bored. 4. The waitstaff forgot to put out champagne for the toast. the guests had nothing to toast with. 5. The waitstaff was clearly not trained well, or just rude. She did not introduce herself, just stood behind me and asked, «Chicken or beef.» Having not seen a menu, not knowing how the dishes were being prepared, I wanted to make sure that there were no items I was allergic to and asked how they were being prepared. She said she didn’t know, and my husband asked for clarification, «is it grilled with a side of something, or mixed in a sauce?» At which point the waitress walked away from our table to get the manager who yelled at us. They were upset with us for causing a disturbance in their schedule and we should select the item that was on the wedding invitation(that we received three months prior). The entire table of ten guests we were sitting with stopped to tell the manager that there was no menu card in their invitation and told the manager that this was very unnecessary for her to get involved with a simple question(if this was a professional wedding venue). The manager stood up and put up her hand and said, «No, don’t tell me this. I know what was on the invitation.» And walked away. I don’t know how she would know what the invitation looked like, but it was incredibly unprofessional on both the waitress and manager. 6. The food was microwaved and cold when it arrived at the tables. The chicken was cut in two with cold cut ham in the center with some sort of nacho cheese goop on top. My husband got cold cut roast beef with brown gravy. The portions were sample size.

Attended a wedding here. From what I hear, it seems to be the only game in town, and it shows. After just getting married myself, I know what to look for, and I’m thinking the wedding party got robbed. Firstly, we were lead down to the basement«the back way» which meant down a stingy back staircase which was dirty and were paraded past the kitchen complete with stacks of glassware. The cash bartender was fine, but served us in plastic cups for a wedding! ack! Then my sister-in-law was served meat and when she explained she was a vegetarian they told her there was no food and there’s nothing they can do.(This is at a place which is also a restaurant mind you.) Only after someone else made a big deal, and pulled over a manager did she get served something. The dance floor was 4 by 4 squares and everyone was shoved on it like sardines. Finally there was another, larger wedding upstairs which clearly got more attention than the one I attended. Girls, lessons learned. Find another place if possilbe.
