guests asked for more bread and wait staff rudely answered back with we have no more.
staff commented on my facebook post and told me i was a fat ugly bride the next day for posting a bad review.
lynn lost our dinner options, drink package and linen colors so had to go back when it got closer to the date.

finds every loophole to charge extra.
doesn't give a couple a chance to discuss anything privately.
ac unit upstairs leaked on my grandmother while she was eating.
beautifulplaceworstplaceto get married at.
also lie to save their reputation.

cold hearted. from a friend: i just found out that my co-worker, amela seho, was told that she would not be able to get her deposit back that she gave to beardslee castle for a wedding she planned on having there this summer. the reason she is asking for her deposit back is because she just went through an unexpected brain surgery to remove a malignant tumor from her brain. she will be going through radiation and then chemo for the next 12 months. needless to say, she had to postpone the wedding. after explaining all this to the owner, he still would not give her deposit back. please copy and share this post. i hope that anyone who even would consider having their wedding or any event at thisplacewill change their mind. some people are just not business people and it's apparent to me that the people who own and manage beardslee castle are cold, heartless and cruel!!!!

we liked thisplaceso much on our visit to upstate ny we went again. waitresses & bartenders alison, wendy & claire were awesome. very fun place, terrific food, very well presented, and most accommodating to this gluten free dairy free diner. they even whipped up fresh gf bread for me on very short notice, with weddings back to back in another part of the castle. no, i didn't see any ghosts again...

i called ahead 1 day to let them know i had to be gluten & dairy free. they actually had warm french bread waiting for me. i had the trout, served very fancy. i loved it!!! great place, great full bar too, lots of cool folklore but i didn't see any ghosts, which is what thisplaceis known for locally. somewhat pricey but worth every penny. casual dress no problem. they do weddings - grounds are lovely!

wonderful cny gem!. my wife and i decided to spend our wedding anniversary eating at beardslee castle. we arrived early and had a drink in the pub downstairs. the bartended was attentive and they had a very expansive beer/liquor list. our waitress upstairs was just as good as the bartender. she was very knowledgeable of the menu without being overbearing. my wife is a strict vegetarian who can be hard to accommodate but there were plenty of appetizer and entree items for her to choose from. for the first course we choose the aga dashi - lightly fried tofu and eggplant fritters. the fritters were absolutely a must. they were fried slices of eggplant layered with goat cheese, kalamata olives and sundried tomato pesto. there were a couple other savory items in there that i can't recall now but they all came together nicely. for our main courses my wife choose the tofu ravioli with portabella mushrooms, green beans and crispy shallots but the highlight of the dish was the coconut ginger-lime sauce. this sauce was light and sweet without being overwhelming. i choose the rack of lamb that was cooked to perfection over the applewood fired grill. for dessert we shared a banana madness which was a great play on bananas foster. overall my wife and i were very pleased with experience at beardslee. we came for a special occasion but this will be a new restaurant for all occasions as the prices were very reasonable for the food/service. even though you are eating in a 150+ year old building the experience was not old and dreary. theplacehas a great fresh "feel" to it that can cater to people of all ages.

great food, service!. we've been told by friends to try beardslee but it was always a bit out of the way. finally made it last weekend and loved everything. it's a beautiful stone castle, the food was creative, artistic and delicious! our server was just right... attentive when we needed her but not hovering when we were enjoying dinner. it was very busy with an event upstairs but theplacehad a great buzz without being loud or overcrowded. we loved it and will go back. try it you'll like it! our first reveiw!

disappointed. theplacewas busy but no excuses spent 365.00 which 52.00 was tip. service very slow sat down a 6pm did not leave until after nine i fell asleep at table. food came to the table at different intervals. my steak was cold and my wife pasta was extremely over cooked did not send it back as we did not want to wait any longer. some the appertizer were burnt . portion extremely small. mandatory tip of 18 % i would not have left 5% do not worry will never return huge disappointment.

what an amazing place!. discovered yourplaceonline! and what a find! loved everything. will definitely be back
