Had my daughter Quinceñera at The Reef, and it turned out amazing! I can't thank Maria enough for making the whole process less stressful, which truly helped plan this special day. Overall, great food, drinks, and service. Very flexible with my last-minute changes of adding more guests and very accommodating.

Excellent place, very home-y and cleaner than I usually expect when housing up to a thousand people sometimes. The chicken is meh. Get the steak if you're given a choice at your party. Thanks to Louis for the great service.The drinks are abhorrently overpriced but, lol, it's an event, better hope it's an open bar

The Reef is the absolute best place to have your wedding. We just had ours and we’re absolutely blown away by the entire experience. The view took our breath away, food was delicious, just like the tasting, the staff were so kind, fun and helpful. They answered all our questions and then upgraded us to a larger ballroom when it wasn’t being used! I could not ask for more in our wedding and am forever grateful for this beautiful experience.

Our niece celebrated her Quince at The Reef on 10/21/2023 in the Pacific Ballroom. My comadre spent a pretty penny booking this establishment, after I advised her not to due to previous bad experiences there as a guest of other parties.The service staff at The Reef were all so very rude. Rolling eyes and letting out loud sighs when asked for something so simple as water refills. Then she walked away as we all sat there in disbelief. Upon sending in the RSVP cards, all guests provided the type of dish to be served. Chicken or Beef and that selection was also on the place cards. Guests were given the wrong items but ate it anyway to avoid complaining to the host, my comadre. When the servers came to our side, of course the bulk of guests were all given chicken and the beef was all gone. Again, we didn't want to complain to our host and ruin her daughters special event. At our table a guest asked about the meat not being what she RSVP'd for and the server slammed the plate down and said WE'RE OUT OF BEEF! When the servers removed the dishes selection cards from the table, they were being snatched and the card holder being tossed back onto the table.This was by far the worst treatment myself and others have received at an event that was once a very prestigious location. When we entered the venue, there had been many upgrades to the hall and lobby area, so I was expecting improvement from the bad experiences in the past.To put an end to the evening, we headed to our car to find our compadres truck window smashed in (parked next to us). The Reef has ZERO security and according to the venues Captain, no cameras. An added point, if you do have an event here, have someone posted at the door! Random people were wandering into the hall and they were guests from other parties in other rooms.If you are going to spend a small fortune to host a special event, so it elsewhere because The Reef is awful. I only gave this 1 star because I had no choice.
Speaking as a guest, it was a beautiful place to have a wedding. Facilities are nice and the food was good.

My daughter had a wedding reception here last week, the food was horrible, was supposed to be some pasta with steak, was steak with something that looked like broccoli but long strings, even salad was horrible. For the price should have been better than old iceberg lettuce. Nobody ate it.
