I honestly thought Dolis and Lesnina were just two names for the same thing, and I assumed they shared a conductor since their websites make them look like one big merged entity. I mean, what even is Lesnina?

Has anyone here ever held their wedding over in Dolis-Lesnin??? I'm dying to know what the catering is actually like, and how everything else shakes out.

I’ve been hunting through Sale Bellevue Trogir’s pages looking for some decent photos of the venue, but all I can find are two shots where you can barely make out the actual layout. It’s a bit frustrating! Does anyone have any better pictures they could share?
I'm dying to get a real sense of the space since everyone in the comments keeps raving about how incredible it is.

I have a feeling they used to throw in free spa access or something similar for the newlyweds back in the day.

Over at the Honey place, you actually get a free suite for the night.

Aha... well, I've had some people tell me all three are equally great... honestly, I'm starting to lose track myself.🤷

I’ve been sitting here wondering if Holy Cross is actually the best fit for what we have in mind... at least for me, anyway. I can't quite wrap my head around the capacity requirements there. Do you think 120 or 130 guests would feel a bit sparse? I'd hate for the hall to feel cavernous or like there's just too much empty space surrounding us. Also, regarding the overnight stay—is there any sort of complimentary upgrade or bonus room situation for the newlyweds, or is that strictly extra?

Aha... personally, I’m leaning towards Holy Cross as the best pick. We’re currently over in San Francisco, though, so I’m not entirely sure how much of a trek that would be from here. That said, Amigos Podstrana looks pretty incredible in all the photos they post online... I’m just sitting here wondering if anyone actually has firsthand experience with them? Has anyone been there lately?

I’m actually having a bit of a crisis here—I can't quite decide which dining room I prefer: Castello, Bellevue, or maybe Saint Croix? Honestly, I'm torn. I haven't had much time to dig through the archives to see if anyone else has shared their thoughts on the food quality or the general vibe, so I thought I'd just ask you all directly. Any insights would be hugely appreciated!

Ahas, that sounds absolutely wonderful! I’ll admit I’m a bit out of the loop on all this, which is why I’m asking... regarding the pool situation at Saint Croix, what’s the deal? I heard a rumor that they serve appetizers right by the water, so I was wondering—is that pool area actually located on that terrace, or am I totally off base? Thanks so much for the help!

Ah, nice... one more thing though—is that pool located right on the terrace, or what?

Aha, okay, interesting... wait, I think I missed something. Does Holy Cross actually have two halls?? Or am I just tripping?

Hey everyone, could I get some help here?? Does anyone know much about the Holy Cross restaurant on Manhattan? I'm trying to figure out their capacity, what the menu prices look like, and if anyone happened to be at the banquet there recently so they could tell me about the decor... I've been scouring the internet, but I just can't find any photos of the hall itself. Any insight would be greatly appreciated...

I’ve actually heard of that group from Best Buy... they were recently featured on that program over at Atlantic Ocean TV—you know, the one with those soulful ballads. They seemed pretty solid to me... just some new band finding their footing. But regarding that duo, Vintner and Joe ???... has anyone caught any buzz about them lately? I heard they were absolutely wild.

Hey there, Mlada 2010, thanks so much for the help... I think I’m actually going to give them a call tomorrow to see what the standard menu pricing looks like, and of course, I’ll circle back and let you all know what I find out... Honestly, I have a feeling it isn't quite $38. That feels a bit steep to me, especially considering it's out in a small town in the Midwest where things aren't exactly right at my doorstep. Does anyone else happen to know of any good halls in San Francisco that could accommodate about 120 people? Personally, I really like the Holy Cross venue near that small rural town. Mlada 2010, do you happen to know what the standard menu costs over at that small town, and do they take bookings for 130 people since they clearly have more capacity? Best regards!

Aha... well, I think I’ll just stick to the standard menu items... you know, the usual suspects like prosciutto, cheese, maybe some French specialties, risotto, beef stew, or lamb... Does anyone happen to know what the prices look like over at Dollis??? A huge thanks to anyone who can help me out!

Good evening, everyone! I’m new to the group—I've been lurking and reading through the threads for a few days now, but I figured it was finally time to jump in and ask a few questions regarding the local dining scene... Does anyone know if prices have climbed much since 2010? Specifically, does anyone have a handle on what a menu would have cost back then at places like Dollis, Holy Cross, NIRS, Pirate, or Fabula? I feel like I’m getting a different answer from everyone I ask, so I’m a bit lost on what the actual reality was back then...
