Sabre Room

First off I do not know how this venue has not been shut down by the FDA, the building has rust all over it, and looks as though there has been no updates since it was biult in 1920. The staff was very poorly dressed and very unprofessional, our food was poorly managed and given out to the wrong people, my husband ordered beef, and after waiting for it for over 15mins while everyone else at our table was already eating he had to return it twice bc it was still so bloody. The mashed potatoes were from box, nothing was from scratch. It is sad that when a bride at her own wedding is sick bc she is upset at how her wedding has played out. A guest at our table went up to the bar to get a coke and when he came back he had noticed that the glass was broken and there was lipstick on the rim. An over all review, if the bride and groom paid $10 per person they were over charged!!!! Never will I ever go back to the Sabre room if my life depended on it!!!!

Pros: None

Cons: Everything

Family home style cooking. Everything is cooked from scratch. Owners do the cooking and they take great pride in their work.
Our family has celebrated Thanksgiving dinner at the Sabre Room for many years. We gather from as far as Wisconsin to start our holiday season at the Sabre Room.

Pros: Food is outstanding, service is great

Cons: none

The Sabre Room made my parents 50th Anniversary a great success. The room was beautiful, everyone is still talking about it, the food was delicious, and the staff was wonderful. I will contact them next spring (2010) for my son's communion. They will get my business guaranteed.

I was at the Saber Room for a dinner and show on Feb.14 and My husband and I thought the
food was great and service was also good.. My steak was cooked the way I ask .
The show was also great .We will be going back again. I have told all my friends to go there.
I would hope that when my girls get married they will use the Saber Room . We didn't find
any bad smells. Please try it out for yourself .

The website boasts award-winning cuisine. Nothing I had last night was remotely award-winning or even cuisine. Dehydrated potatoes mixed with MARGARINE, frozen overcooked vegetables, undercooked chicken, frozen beef with gravy from a packet and "minestrone" soup that also obviously came out of a packet is not remotely what I'd classify as award-winning cuisine. Furthermore the service was appalling, the staff ill-prepared, and the timing disturbing. The salad was being cleared away from a portion of the guests before another significant portion had even received the soup course! I've HAD good food AND good service at the Sabre Room, but what I had last night was nothing short of disgusting. Furthermore, serving food nearly an hour after its scheduled time AND THEN turning off the lights for the Christmas Variety Show while the guests were still eating was utterly insulting. I've never had a worse experience at any banquet hall on the whole of the South Side and I've been to dozens of events in the area. A banquet hall's reputation is made or broken on the strength of its service and its food. If I could possibly give it, this one would receive a negative score. Don't waste your time booking your event here, the place has gone completely downhill.

Pros: None at all.

Cons: See review.
