Memorial Day weekend we celebrated a vow renewal, our birthdays, and my one year cancer free anniversary. It was an amazing experience from day one when I decided to hold my event at this venue. Mike was easy going and very helpful. Always answered all of my questions and was very flexible with my crazy demands. His staff was awesome! They were always around to make sure that everything was running smoothly. They were always there if we needed anything. Very nice, pleasant and very professional. The food was scrumptious. All of my guest commented on how delicious the crusted chicken parmesan and penne vodka pasta was. Plenty of food for all my guest with enough for seconds for whoever wanted seconds. I can’t praise Mike and his staff enough. I highly recommend Filomena’s for your next party/event. You won’t be disappointed.

I was preparing a member development meeting with 14 new members I onboarded. Filomena’s had the space and the location nestled in the center of the 14 different school district food service directors. From my first contact with Mike on email to meeting him and his staff in person they were friendly and accommodating to my needs to have a private area for 14 of us. The menu was perfect for a working lunch meeting. And the food was prepared and served in a professional yet relaxing way. I was so happy with the food, service, and location. I highly recommend them for private functions like mine.

We had my baby shower at Filomena’s this past weekend! We worked with Sara from the beginning and it was seamless and very smooth! From start to finish, I had no worries or complaints. On the day of, Mike was a huge help and the staff were amazing! The food was exactly what we wanted and came out hot and on time. I highly recommend hosting an event there! A huge thank you to Sara, Mike and everyone that made the day successful!

We had a wonderful experience with catering from Filomena's! We had a change in plans and they were able to accommodate us to cater a luncheon/repast. The food was delicious, plentiful and beautiful presentation. We were so pleased with the service and we heard so many compliments from our guests. I highly recommend them!

My wife and I had our Baby shower here with 35 plus guest and it was amazing. Coordinating and picking a menu is very simple and straight forward. We had plenty of space for seating, food and the ability for family and friends to mingle. This will not be the last event we host here. The staff was top notch and took the best care of our group.

We had our work outing at Filomena’s. The waitstaff was incredible and the food was equally as good. Outside seating was awesome too. I would highly recommend Filomena’s!!!! Thanks Mike for everything.

The waiter/ bartender was a very very friendly guy. Greeted us and served us everything in a timely manner. The sausage sandwich was delicious. I’ll be back for another one someday! Shrimp cocktail was delicious as well! Nice little place to stop in for a quick bite or drink

Stopped in for a quick bite to eat after a day at the beach and this place was perfect. The waitstaff and, who I assumed was the owner, were absolutely amazing and accommodating. The food was delicious. They had an orchestra band playing outside also which was pretty cool
