Victory Garden Cafe

t space. This went on for quite some time and my wife and I were getting quite frustrated. A friend suggested we take a look at Victory Garden Cafe in Astoria Queens. We made an appointment to see Anna Sakalis the Event Manager and after a few brief minutes speaking with her, we knew we found the right place! Everything was perfect! She went through the menu options and explained how the space would be decorated and we were sold. She really put us at ease from the moment we walked in. Well, the Bridal Shower could not have gone better. We met with Anna a few days before the party to finalize everything. We brought two car loads of decorations and party favors which she seamlessly and effortlessly merged with her decorations. Day of the party we walked in and the room looked beatiful. Anna and her team really did an amazing job. All of the food was terrific and all of the deserts which are baked on site were amazing. I would also like to give a special shout out to all of the staff at Victory Garden Cafe. Their attention to detail did not go unnoticed. From serving all the guests to making sure each plate was perfect and also helping carry the gifts out to the cars. They could not do enough to help out. If you are looking for a venue for a special occasion, do yourself favor and go to Victory Garden Cafe! 5 Stars only because I cannot give more! Thanks to Anna and her staff!

uch so that my mom and I went there for breakfast again the following morning! Anna was very easy to work with and very accommodating. Communication was great and the decorations were on point. Everything I had envisioned was made reality. Also do invest in the vienesse table! It wowed my guests and all the desserts were scrumptious. My favorite were the cake pops! Thank you so much Anna for making my bridal shower a wonderful, memorable event!

esserts/cakes. Our guest love the atmosphere and the service provided. We will definitely go back for another event.

hat the date I chose would be available and so I'd have enough time to gather decorations and outline the event. Anna was such a nice individual and she was helpful by providing me insight on what would work for decorations for my Moroccan themed bridal shower. The week of the shower, I dropped off all my decorations and provided Anna a sample of how I wanted the main table and the set up should look. I was very particular about how things should look because I had a vision and it was months of planning. Everything came out perfect and I was in awe when I was able to see the enclosed patio decorated the day of the event. Service was great, the food was amazing, and everyone had a fantastic time. Of note, I noticed someone mention in a review not being allowed to bring an outside cake. When I signed the contract, Anna made it clear that no outside foods (cakes, cupcakes, cookies) could be brought to the venue since they make these items. I had the bridal shower cake custom made by the cafe, and they did such a beautiful job.

rged for a 2 year old kid. The contract said 2 year old dont pay. I had to tell the waiters what to do on the event. I had tables that had extra chairs. I was also told that the waiters were going to pass around with drinks and they didn't, they left pitchers on the tables. I was also told that the place had decorations and they didn't thank God i did not trust them (I did my own decorations). And lastly this place said outside vendors were ok. Its not. I wanted to bring my own cake and the place refuse to let me. So since i already made the deposit and i did not want to stress out anymore (this place stressed me out to the max. I had a terrible headache the day of my event) i decided to go with their cake. I gave them a picture and Anna assured me that it will be very similar to the picture ( I was worried because the pictures i saw online are terrible, I brought up the pictures and her response was that people didn't want to pay for it. So I decided to pay). The Cake was very important since I had a themed shower. The day of the shower I saw the cake and it was HORRIBLE!!! It was rushed and I dont think the person who made it had the skills to create this type of cake.There was a table in the middle of the bathroom. I had to tell the waiter to remove it. These is supposed to be taken care of by their supervisor and not by the bride.This place likes to do multiple events at the same time. They do not tell you that. When signing the contract i paid for the garden to be just for my event. Well there was people from a different event walking around my event. I was very disappointed by this place. I spent a lot of money here to treated this way. I did not say anything the day of the event because I was over it. I was very disappointed by this place.

etail. We're patient with us and just did an amazing job!

ious) and service. Anna was very patient with us from the beginning. All of our guests were delighted by the place. Everything was perfect in our day!

he was very professional and she helped me choose the best options to make my event a success. On my wedding day, the garden area looked amazing. All my guests felt pleased with the accommodations and the service of the waiters. The food was simply delicious (I had so many options to chose from). I also had the chance to pick up the design of my own wedding cake which I loved. Most importantly, my spouse and I enjoyed the event because we had nothing to worry about while we were there. Ana and her amazing staff took care of everything. I can't thank them enough for helping me host my event. I will definitely be going back and I do recommend this place to anyone who is looking for the perfect venue.

menal !. Anna was great in helping me w/a cake flavor as I was unsure, she was also helpful w/ the entire organization of the event. The place is cute to have small events. The decorations they did for me was amazing. Everything was soo good that my family loved everything from beginning to end. Thank you so much Anna for a great experience. Will be going there to eat again and again.

ating, and a joy to work with. I started the planning process in February and was able to have everything come together by September. The reception was just perfect with custom decor and menu. The food was delicious and my guests left extremely happy and full. I cannot thank Anna and everyone enough for a truly glorious night!

always courteous and the food was delicious! Wedding planning can get a little overwhelming and your main concern would be from the venue where all the magic happens. When we were deciding on a venue, we would make appointments with Anna and she's always around to meet us as scheduled. She offers you a range of services they can provide and her advice is really helpful. Right before the wedding, we had some last minute changes, she has been very accommodating. She always decorates the space to transform it from a day-to-day restaurant into a proper wedding space. She did a great job and everyone loved it. Their cake is great! Be sure to check out their almond macaroons! We picked that as our party favor and everyone loved it. I'm sure we'll go back for cookies at their bakery!

h and delicious. The event coordinator, Anna, was always available prior and during the event. The staff did such an amazing job with the decorations. I was happy that I was able to book my event in their beautiful outdoor-garden dining space, since it was heated. Brides, this place will make your dreams come true.
