🫤 Disappointing to say the least! The grounds are beautiful as well as the venue itself. However, they fell very short on our 5.22.22 wedding. We felt as though we just got all the leftover staff that was not well trained and that reflected all throughout our reception from start to finish. We had 8... People often mention staff,

    Disappointing to say the least! The grounds are beautiful as well as the venue itself. However, they fell very short on our 5.22.22 wedding. We felt as though we just got all the leftover staff that was not well trained and that reflected all throughout our reception from start to finish. We had 8 passed hor d’oeuvres where a lot if not more than half of our guests gave the feedback that they had not seen them. As the bride and groom a tray of each option was not set aside for us which the coordinator stated was an oversight on her end and also had the audacity to state she knew everything was served as she had some herself. My husband also asked one of the servers for a specific hor d’oeuvre and was ignored. So be okay with sharing what you paid for with the staff! Our bar selection was setup for the custom option instead of the premium which the event coordinator verbally owned up to when it was on a conference call with the owner but, then went back on their word when it was time for email correspondence and having things in writing. The drink server was not well trained and didn’t know the right portions for drinks or how to make basic drinks. We were told we would have had to pay extra for an actual “bartender” which was never mentioned ahead of time. The actual meals were delicious that’s the only positive I can really give this place and probably their only saving grace. Don’t expect doggy bags (they can’t give them out after 4 hours. Our meals were served at 1:30-2 and reception ended at 5:30 so if the food was packed it technically was not left out for 4 hours but that’s beside the point) and make sure your vendors actually eat or their meal will just be taken away untouched. For dessert we had a 3-tier cake for 63 guests and 5 vendors. Again, be prepared to share that as well as supposedly all of our cake was served. Don’t expect the tradition of the top tier being saved or any take home unless you ask. Also, not everyone was served coffee including the bride and groom yet again were forgotten about. There was also a list of other disappointments, but we wanted to touch the main points. Essentially, the ones that made us feel that we didn’t get what we paid for. So, we wouldn’t suggest this place if you want to be treated as people of importance as the bride and groom as well as your guests being attended to.

    Our family attended the show "A Christmas Miracle" which was a dinner performance, and both the dinner and the performance were excellent. It's an intimate setting with only 6 or 7 tables and a small stage in the center. The performers sang, danced, played instruments and even did some magic tricks and were simply incredibly talented. Dinner was a choice of fish, chicken, prime rib with appetizer and dessert and all were fabulous. Oh and the drink selections must come from an expert mixologist...you'll want to try them all (and then Uber home)! If you're looking for some fun with friends or family and want to save a trip down to Broadway then consider the Spinning Wheel.

    Recently I was invited to a graduation party at this place. The atmosphere was really pleasant to the entire group. The food serve was delicious. The entry was a cesar salad with ward breads. The meal were chicken, penne with vodka sauce, vegetable, Potatoes. Everything was good :). The dessert was a special ice cream with granola, in a ward apple pie. The bar was on point. The people were well prepared. The bartender was really nice and very attentive.

    We thoroughly enjoy the atmosphere, food, wine selection and knowledgeable waitstaff. When we dine out we want the whole positive vibe - not just great food. I honestly cannot remember ever having a negative experience here. Yes, I highly recommend "The Spinning Wheel". Brunch is fabulous as well.

    Food is good but service could be a bit better. There were times we didn't see our waiter for a fifteen minutes. We also weren't read any of the specials (if they had any, they did on our previous visit). Rolls were cold and seemed a day old. Food may not be consistent. Previous visit, the carrots that came with the meatloaf were either glazed or seasoned well. This time they were plain

    Recently celebrated our anniversary just a week ago. Everything about this venue was perfect. It was the perfect space for a beautiful dinner and dancing. Even though it was raining we were still able to have a very nice cocktail hour inside. Planning the event was seamless and the staff were very accommodating. Highly recommend if you're looking for a venue anything from a small gathering to a large family celebration.

    A charming landmark in beautiful Redding. I had the chance to talk with one of the owners who gave me the history of the building. It was obvious to me that he puts his heart and soul into this place. I can't wait for the restaurant to reopen!

    Staff and atmosphere were great but honestly the food was just ok. Nothing special, not very flavorful. Honestly wouldn't go back but not mad I went.

    I drive by every day and finally went -- so glad I did! I brought my 99-year-old mother and access was very easy. The staff was very kind and accommodating, and the sweet hostess took me on a tour. We thought the food was delicious -- a huge difference from my previous experience before the new ownership. My mother appreciated that the food was served hot! We can't wait to go back.

    Finally stopped in about 2 months or so ago and we have been going back every other week. It’s our favorite spot for pizza. It’s quick and easy to order and they have curbside pick up. I purposely drive over 20 mins to get the Margarita pie👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Best pizza I’ve had by far!
