Lombardi's on the Bay

he received our initial deposit. She was very spacey and had no idea of the rooms or capacity. After leaving numerous emails and messages I was finally in touch with another woman in the catering department. Once we met with her we were brought to a room which wasn’t even offered to us initially for our small party of 35, but we’re then told they have no elevators or ramps for handicapped… that in itself is worrisome for a venue. Keep in mind if they can’t get a small party of 35 right, I would be terrified to know what happens with a large reception. We were told the only room available for the Friday afternoon event was the main dining area but assured our tables and guests would be on the opposite side of the bar where no other guests would be and that the restaurant is usually very slow at that time and day of the week. Upon arriving with our guests we had already informed the staff days prior that we would be a little early and asked if our guests would be able to enjoy cocktails at the bar. When we got there the restaurant was packed. Our tables were not yet setup and there were other people in the area of our PAID IN FULL event. I was totally stressed out. They were so unprepared but that was JUST the beginning. Our guests proceeded to the bar with other restaurant goers, which was not supposed to happen. The one request I had of no glasses at the table that says “coors light” on them was completely overlooked and the linens I paid for were oversized napkins laid on the table overlapping each other. I proceeded to take pictures with the wedding party and came back to an even bigger mess. They were telling our guests that food we specifically paid EXTRA for to have on the menu was not available, then argued with me until they looked at the contract to see that we paid extra and they overlooked that as well. There was NO AC ON IN THE ROOM on a HOT august day, which myself, my husband and multiple guests had asked about and were ignored or told to ask our waiter. Keep in mind there was a beautiful room right next to us, EMPTY for our entire event, and from what I learned the entire day and night that had full blasting AC and a more private area. We were never offered that space. The only good thing about the dinner was the amount of food but then it got worse. My mother and I were served our dinner 15 minutes AFTER all of our guests had finished eating and were cleaned up. And to top that off, the manager on duty who was extremely nasty and I just learned was fired after our event, rushed me to “pay the bar tab” since it was 3 minutes over our party time. After ALL that he wanted me to rush to pay another bill. My husband spoke to him of how upset he was about everything and the manager told him to “take it out of the waiters tip” the young waiter was the ONLY one who did his job right and you could tell was trying to make up for managements lack of professionalism. Not his fault. This is management and owners fault. It is now over a week since our event and we have not heard a peep from ownership or new management. This is a complete disgrace and put a very big headache and heartache on our very special day. We will never return and urge you to look somewhere else! WHAT A MESS!

hing and the maitre de to make sure everything flowed. They were all wonderful to work with and everything was great. There is a beautiful outside area too so if people wanted to talk outside (away from the band) they could.

st amazing!! I can not thank Lina enough for her dedication to make the perfect wedding for us. From the first day we booked with her until the day of our wedding. Complete professionalism with all the details involved. Maitra D Will was extremely professional along with the wait staff. So many smiling employees that you can see enjoy working for Lombardi's. I received so many texts and calls from relatives and friends about what a great wedding it was along with the excellent food and service they received. Thank you so very much!!

best time.

of the bay is breath taking. I can't thank Kevin and his team enough for everything they done.

e. I met with Kevin and from the moment our interactions started, he was nothing short of amazing. We had our wedding in the small private room upstairs which has a private deck attached. We were able to have our ceremony overlooking the water in a completely private space and then we had a four course meal (food was incredible!) in the attached private room. Everyone was so welcoming and accommodating that I truly do not have a single negative thing to say about Lombardi's or their staff. Kevin is so experienced and quick to reply. His communication was flawless. I HIGHLY recommend Lombardi's for a micro wedding in particular but I have no doubts that a full reception there would be spectacular. You are truly in good hands with this crew. Oh and did I mention the food was wonderful?! All of our guests were raving about it!

stponing my wedding from April, I now only had one week to plan a wedding at a new venue. I spoke to Kevin, the manager of Lombardis, and booked on July 8th. Kevin and his team only had 4 days to plan my wedding. 4 DAYS! And they did fantastic! Because of all the craziness surrounding COVID I was under so much stress but Lombardis really made me feel at ease. Kevin and the Lombardis team were so professional and so accommodating and managed to make my wedding feel so special and intimate, while also following all the restrictions Governor Cuomo set in place. I highly recommend Lombardis on the Bay! The venue is stunning, the food was delicious, the staff was so professional, and the price was right. I can’t say enough about them.

Kevin Stollow the director of sales is the best , he’s so kind and really made us feel at ease during the whole wedding process . He was a pleasure to deal with.

It was a perfect, fall, 67 degree day and could not have asked for a more perfect day. From the beginning Kevin was there the whole way helping us out, answering any questions even if we thought they were stupid and was always there for us whenever we needed him. He made the wedding process flow so much easier. The food was amazing, the workers were excellent and if you needed any food changes they did not hesitate and changed whatever you needed.

As soon as I walked into the ball room I knew right away. It is the most beautiful, elegant, and romantic room. The entire staff is beyond professional. so many of my guests commented how attentive they were throughout the entire evening. The food!!My god is it amazing! Not only does it all taste delicious but the portion sizes are incredible! There literally are no words for the maitre D, she was my savior throughout the entire wedding, before and after. She knows what she is doing and helped put me at ease when I was freaking out days before. Her personality is fantastic, you will LOVE LOVE LOVE her. Kevin the manager is great and always available for any need you have. Honestly, go and look at this place for yourself, it’s stunning and helped me achieve my perfect wedding ❤️

erything leading up to the day flowed smoothly. Kevin was great to deal with and so helpful. He answered all the questions my husband and I had. He even promised us a beautiful day which Mother Nature delivered. Our day was amazing and our Maitre D Lina was amazing. She was so helpful and attentive. The Bridal Assistant Jennifer was also amazing. She helped me the entire day. The staff was amazing as well, making sure that they were attentive to all of the guests and we couldn't have asked for anything more. We are still getting compliments about the food, the staff and the day. Thank you to everyone involved. I would definitely return for any future parties we throw.
