I had no idea that the Annex Kitchen was connected to the Pardini's catering and event venue. Am I the only one? I was at Pardini's for my father-in-law's church event. I've never been here before so I was interested in seeing what the space actually looked like, and it's your typical basic event venue. From what I saw, they have two spaces for events or they can collapse the wall to make it one large event area. There is a separate bar on the premises, but I'm not sure if it's part of Pardini's or its own thing. It looked really cool inside and had a lounge vibe to it. This event space has its own kitchen, so I assume when you're at the space the food comes with it. I had a short rib with a side of mashed potatoes and vegetables. For mass produced event hall food, it was actually pretty good. The short rib was super tender and the steamed veggies actually had flavor! The only real issue I see is the parking. The lot is very small and you're sharing spaces with the Annex Kitchen, Rock n Noodles, Diccios Italian food, and about eight other businesses. If you're attending an event here I recommend a year pretty early!

It was a fun night. Company party! The room was spacious enough for us. We are going smaller and smaller so it was nice that they book and had it there. It was raining and cold outside. So we were Warm and cozy inside. The food was excellent, the chicken was so tender, juicy and flavorful. The potato's were on the salty side but manageable. The salad was very Fresh and crispy. The veggies were also great!! The waiters were very attentive and they clean the tables as soon as everyone was done. They had a bar inside and they were Making great mixes, they had all kinds of drinks. From beer to wine. I would book a venue here for a party, I really loved the please.

When planning a celebration of Life you really have no idea how many to plan for We felt confident with Pardini's and they came through seamlessly when we had an unexpected 80+ guests. They discreetly set up 3 additional tables and served everyone the same delicious lunch. I cannot recommend them enough.

I just attended a large group event here, the first since the remodel. Wow! Beautiful! Salad and bread was on the table when we sat down. We were served steak with green beans and scalloped potatoes. Probably the best steak I've had in years! Delicious meal, served hot by very friendly and accommodating staff. Bathrooms are clean too!

Our guests are still talking about the food at our wedding thanks to Pardinis. We had a buffet with a carving station and passed hours d'oeuvres. There wasn't a single complaint about the food and we've even had a few guests ask where they can go to eat the chicken again! The communication leading up to the wedding was a little spotty. We had a wedding planner so she was doing a lot of the outreach and follow up but it did take several emails and calls to get answers on several details. Because we didn't get a response on our site plan until a month before the wedding we did have to add a few unexpected costs for more tables and a green wall to hide the prep area. Luckily our vendors were flexible and making the changes was easy. It would have been much better for us to know we needed to add those costs ahead of time. Similarly, after our final headcount was provided, we had to wait for a final cost. If I didn't have a planner all of the back and forth and follow-up to get answers would have been too much work for me alone. In the end, the food and service were amazing on the day of! We couldn't be happier with the quality of the food and service. We went with Pardinis because we had a large wedding (280 guests) and we knew they were the most logistically prepared for day of flow. Things went very smoothly and everyone was fed quickly. The carvers were very professional and added an extra touch to the dinner. Pardinis is a tried and true company that does so many events in the area. One thing you can count on is high-quality day of service and delicious food!

What a great place to hold an event! The recently renovated Pardini's looks very sleek and modern. I helped at a recent event there and everything was so nice. The staff was friendly and accommodating, we had several requests for table placement, bring an extra table in, more chairs and more place settings during the event and the staff did everything with a smile on their face. I'd like to especially thank Catrina our event coordinator. She went above and beyond helping me with every request. From the music (she found Auggie) the timing of the food service, reminding me if we wanted to include a pray before the meal, set up, she even found deodorant for me! Catrina never stopped working and was always checking to see if everything was going smoothly. Thank you Catrina, your diligence didn't go unnoticed. Thank you Pardini's for making it an extra special event.

Starting review with: COVID Standards - YES - 5-Star following guidelines... Today was the third event I've hosted here. (Have attended events, ex. two class reunions, lunch after uncle's funeral, etc. - have always been good events) BUT, when one hosts an event... WOW!!! Great team to work with - thx Theresa! Of course, we stick with the Pot Roast (tender), Herbed Chicken (mmmm), scalloped potatoes, and the roasted vegetables are THE BEST Last time, it was beets with zucchini and asparagus - this time, was more mixed - with peppers, yellow squash, asparagus, onions, and more - was a HIT with all The gal who so graciously waited behind the table with sodas and wine - thank you for waiting on us. Your friendly humor and patience was appreciated Pardini's made ME look good, taking care of all the details
