Beautiful venue, convinent parking, and great food with Vegan options (Fried Tofu with broccoli and green sauce). My only complaint is that the bartender seemed a bit unfriendly, as evidenced by his lack of eye contact, no smiling, and no small talk, etc.

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.

We were there for a wedding, great view and service. Had great food for the reception, and the bar was well stocked. Would recommend one of the many rooms for any event. There are hotels within walking distance as well.

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.

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
