We attended a wedding reception here in June, 2013.  I was going to let it slide, but I've changed my mind.  We were really looking forward to the dinner because we had had such positive experiences at the Sunday brunches with delicious food.  Not so much at the wedding.  No where to sit during the long (over an hour) cocktail hout.  Servers  would come out with maybe 10 appetizers on a tray and would be attacked by the first few peopole they passed.  I actually only got two tiny appetizers the entire time.   When we finally went into the room (same room where the brunches are hel), we we very disappointed in the total LACK of decor.  Absolutely nothing to indicate that there was anything speciazl - let alone a wedding - going on.  No centerpeicesd - might have been the couple's decision - I don't know.  Dinner was not served for almost 1 1/2 hours - we were one of the last tables to be served.  My chicken was over-cooked (actually hard on the edges - couldn't cut) and ice cold.  A guest at our table had steak - and couldn't chew it and it also was cold.  The salads were so under-dressed that we questioned whether they had any dressing at all.  It was a huge dissapointment.  The groom was visably not happy.  For what they paid per person, we shuld have had exceptonal food and service.  Both were sorely lacking.  Sure, it's impressive to say you attended a receptiuon at Phipps, but the people who attended were extremely underwhelmed and definitely disappointed.  My heart went out to the couple!
