The pinning ceremony took place at a well known local restaurant called Dock at the Bay. The restaurant is known for their menu; however this would the first time I ate off their banquet menu.
My favorite thing by far was the bruschetta offered as part of the hors d'oeuvres. With three different kinds offered (traditional tomato, red pepper and spinach), there was something for everyone - or in my case everything for someone. They were not overly salty, and the freshness of the ingredients shown through. Additionally, their vegetable tray included summer squash and zucchini - which I had never thought of to eat raw, but it was refreshing and delightful!
The main meal included a salad, pasta (baked ziti), roasted chicken and roast beef on weck sliders. I tried everything but the chicken, which I just couldn't eat from being stuffed from all of my other food!
The salad and the pasta weren't stand out, but they were fresh and tasted good, what you would expect from any banquet. The sliders were out of this world! Perfectly cooked on a mini Kimmelweck bun, and served with a nice, hot horseradish - for those not from Buffalo, a Kimmelweck bun is salted on top and has caraway seeds sprinkled on the salt, and it is the quintessential piece of a roast beef on weck sandwich!
To wrap things up, I have to mention that while the banquet room was out dated, the water front views of Lake Erie and the cheery staff service made up for it. Additionally, I get headaches from many wines out there, but I was pleased that their house Cabernet was smooth, and left my head feeling quite alright!
In a nutshell, I would have no worries about Dock at the Bay catering an event. If you were hosting a wedding or another more formal event, I would opt for chair covers to help update the look - that aside, Dock at the Bay offers a lovely menu and outstanding views, sure to help make any event memorable!
In finale, congrats to my sister, and her classmates, Surgical Technology Graduates of 2013!!
