So my FH and I recently started to search for venues and we found a banquet hall that quoted us a great per person price, all inclusive. However, I wasn't sure about the food quality so we requested a small tasting (for free actually). We did it, and decided that the food reflected the low price, and we ruled that place out.
Now, we are looking at different venues and lowering the guest count so we can provide better food.
Did anyone else try to sample the food before booking at a place like a hotel or banquet hall ? If not, how would you know if the food is good before you book?
I always thought a tasting should be before booking, but most places only do it for when you are selecting the menu after booking!
