La Fontaine Bleue

Our wedding is set for here! Such great staff… A
Beautiful venue… Amazing food! We cannot wait.

We’ve been hosting an event here for over 15 years on the same date… this year we haven’t decided to return and not one person on their management staff has reached out to our organization to inquire as to whether or not we are returning. .an event that brings in over 800 ppl annually. No fighting in all of these years… no unruliness at all and yet no calls or inquiries… not sure if it’s the owner or management but it’s poor business to not reach out to recurring business.

This place is so underwhelming!!! I know that this is a popular venue for events but they are lacking on so many levels. I have been there for various events on a few occasions and they haven’t made any improvements since my first event in 2013.
Here are the things that are lacking.
1. They don’t accept debit/​credit cards, it’s 2016, how do you not have access to the square or anything? It just doesn’t make sense that they are cash only.
2. If you are cash only then you should have an ATM on site and unfortunately there is no ATM on site. In fact the closest ATM is across the street in the Rite Aid and mind you the street is a highway so not very safe to cross!
3. Boxed wine!!! Granted the pours are generous but boxed wine??? I mean come on!
4. Canned mushrooms and veggies. Every event I have attended has been a buffet and while I am not usually a fan of buffets, serving canned vegetables is just lazy and not tasty.
Overall, these are simple changes that could be made but even if they don’t make the changes, I hope these four things help prepare you for what you are going to experience.

I recently coordinated a wedding and reception there and it was great! I worked with Ann Wood and her staff. They made every effor to make sure everything ran smoothly. I will definitely bring more brides to this venue.

I went here a couple of months ago for a masonic event and it’s ok. I only have Martin’s Crosswinds & Martin’s West to compare it to & honestly it is not at that caliber just yet, but they are easily on their way. Now where they are ahead of that is they are connected to I believe what is a stand alone bar & restaurant. Their parking lot is adequate for those that plan to attend & it’s nice. As it pertains to their crabs, they are really good, but they need to bring them out quicker & bring out an average of 3 crabs per person instead of 2. Maryland people want their crabs & they want it now lol.

Well I have to say this place seemed great at first. The wedding planner was friendly and helpful it seemed… Until I had to cancel. They told me that I would be able to get money back because I paid for more then the non refundable deposit. They told me the check should only take a few days. I came back a few days later «accounting hadn’t got to it yet» so they said they’d mail it to me… 3 weeks goes by with nothing. When I called they said it could take up to 30 days. So I have them the benefit of the doubt and waited another week and a half. Now no one will return my calls and no one in the office will answer the phone. It’s been almost 2 months! Don’t book with them! It seems like they only care about the bottom line and as they know that both me and my ex are active duty, (they tried helping us out with pricing originally) goes to show they could care less about their service members too.

Went here on feb 15 the for a bull n oyster roast n was deeply disappointed. The only thing I can say good about the night was the band. The food was horrible n little of it. The only had half the menu that was suppose to be out. The bar set up was very limited n watered down. Luckily we brought in our own drinks.
I would not recommend this venue to anyone for anything. I will not be attending next year if its held there again…

We attended the NYE celebration to ring in 2014 with friends, drawn to this location by the band Oracle which is a really great multi-​talented dance band. It was the first time attending La Fontaine Bleue and we all agreed the venue was great, the food was wonderful, offering both a good variety and excellent quality (including jumbo shrimp, fabulous meaty crab cakes, chicken, and a carving station of tender beef — offered in both rare and medium cuts, and delicious salad, sides, and deserts!) Service was attentive, and the open bar, and breakfast at the end of the night was included for what we thought was a very reasonable package of $ 85/​pp. The owner even stopped by the table to check on us and wish us a Happy New Year. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that we signed up early at the same time as our friends and asked for a table close to the dance floor since we like to dance often and we follow the band. Instead, we were assigned a table far away from the floor, off to the side against the wall where the entrance to the room was located. From there it was not only difficult to make our way around the tables to the dance floor as often as we liked, but we couldn’t really see the great show the band was putting on all night. Nevertheless, of course we still enjoyed the music and dancing. We would have at least liked to know what our seating option (or assignment) was going to be so we would be forewarned as it made for a rather unpleasant surprise when we arrived. We assume inquiring earlier would produce better results. All in all, it’s an excellent venue and one of the few good dance floors around!

Food was good. Crab dip was weird came with cubes of bread that were like croutons. Cream spinach was amazing. A lot of chicken on the menu

Attended a wedding reception there on Saturday. My findings:
*Facility smelled musty.
*Food was served 2 ½ hours after reception started.
*hor d’oeuvres were served at the same time the dinner was being served
I will not be having my wedding reception there.

My wife and I have been to two public events here, New Years eve, and another. Both events were well attended, but the staff kept up with tables and were very attentive. The Buffet offerings had good vareity. The most amazing item were thier jumbo crab cakes, very little filling and contained large pieces of crab meat. The carved beef was tender. Desserts pulled me right off the Diet!
While my preference is not these types of mass dining events, of the places I have gone, this is heads above the the typical place. even though the décor is a bit dated.

A college buddy of mine recently held his wedding reception here. LFB is sketchy looking from the outside since it’s in the middle of a strip mall but once inside I was surprised to find a welcoming interior. The décor is a tad outdated but it’s clean and well-​maintained.
The food served at the reception was pretty good. There was an assortment of appetizers we could serve ourselves before dinner was served, including crab cakes, chicken skewers, chili, and fruit. I ate about 10 of the mini crab cakes, as well as tomato bruschetta, which I really liked since it had a bit of spiciness.
During the seated dinner, the entrée served was boneless stuffed chicken breast with gravy, salmon medallions with an apricot soy glaze, and veggies. It was very filling and tasty– I especially liked the chicken. For dessert, there was lemon and vanilla cake which was amazing! As full as I was, I polished off my entire slice. My date, who is a cake addict, literally took five pieces home with him it was so good!
A couple of minor complaints– the garden salad was drenched in dressing and only one water pitcher was provided for a table of eight.
