It used to be better, now it's just mostly hype.

I personally wouldn't get married there, but you will definitely have a good time with insane amounts of food.

I love the food there but the place is a little too over the top for me personally.



Agree; totally a matter of personal taste. Food is great, I think.

I think they changed chef's over the last few years. it is not as good as it used to be. JMO>

the serving size of the meal is not as big.

the cocktail hour is jsut as extravagant as anywhere else!

But the food is still good.. not as good as it used to be, but still good!

My BFF got married there labor day weekend. I must say that the staff is super attentive. The food was good...I don't think it was excellent but it was really good. The cocktail hour I didn't have but my DH said it was OK. IMO the hype was more than the actual thing.

As some other posters have stated the look of the the place is a little much for my taste (think LOTS of marble) but the food is good (not great IMO).

I also wasn't a fan of the bride and groom coming out of the floor in a glass elevator. They also have a room where this HUGE multi-tier stage comes out of the wall lit up with smoke. Again, it's alittle over the top for me, but going as a guest you'll eat plenty and have fun.

Re: just found out we have a wedding at Russos.. is it really as good as the hype?

food is good and abundant.

what makes it so hyped is the sheer AMOUNT. it's ALL over the top...from decor to food...soup to nuts.

there is a lot of hype but it's more deserved than some other hyped up catering halls.

the viennese hour is something out of a rich kids carnival. ridiculous. I loved it.

definitely go hungry. It's not the best food in the history of the world, but it's all good, aervice is great, and you'll leave full and happy.

Have a great time!

food is wonderful- especially the viennesse hour- it is unlike any I have ever seen at any wedding before!

went to a wedding there and a communion party there- communion was a lot like wedding- cocktail hour/dj/sitdown dinner- everything was great!

I thought the food was good but nothing special. There was a lot of it though. The decor is definitely not my style.

I went to a few wedding there and each time I was not impressed. I think there is more hype but that is JMO. The cocktail hour was pretty good but most cocktail hours are!

I don't want to offend anyone but I am not a big fan!



I have to agree. I have been to a few events there and it's just like any other catering hall. To me catering hall food is all the same. The hall itself is not my style...it's too big and loud for me. Don't get me wrong it's nice, but I never understood the big hype. That's just my opinion.
