She offered valuable suggestions on how to adjust the schedule to ensure everything flowed smoothly, and her ideas were fabulous. We kept in constant contact via email, and whenever I had questions or wanted to make changes, she was quick to take note. On the day of the party, my partner and I arrived about 15 minutes after it started, and I was thrilled to see that everything was running smoothly. After we were announced, a server approached me immediately and offered me a mimosa, which was delightful. I felt like I was in a movie; the staff was so attentive that I had nothing to worry about, allowing me to fully enjoy the celebration. The food and drinks were incredible. We decided on a brunch because I signed the contract for that before Gandy Dancer stopped offering it, and I was so relieved they honored it since I promised all my guests a brunch experience. Our guests had the option of a summer fruit waffle, lobster and brat omelet, or crab cake Benedict. For dessert, they could choose vanilla bean ice cream or handcrafted cheesecake. I think everyone loved the food—I know I certainly did! If I plan another anniversary celebration, I would love to return to the Gandy Dancer.

It was a weekly date and the location made it special. Great ambiance. Reasonable prices for exceptionally made food. Fantastic carrot cake!!!! Are we going back? Yes! Only caveat: unless you valet, parking is a little complex. My husband doesn’t like using valet and we parked across the street (public parking). Crossing the street it’s a little scary. But, I enjoyed the Gandy Dancer so much, I can’t wait to return.

The salmon was very good and the steak had a nice char and flavor to it also.Staff was all very nice and the drinks were good as well. We drove 45 min to go and would go back!
