Hosted our baby shower at frontside food and wine and it was the best decision we’ve made. The planning process was easy and the staff were so accommodating. The venue was absolutely perfect and everyone loved all the food and drinks. Parking was also easy which is a huge plus! Can not fault this venue and would consider hosting our next big event here!

Thank you to Anne Marie, Tarryn, Will & everyone else on the team. Venue was perfect and the staff so friendly and eager to please. Customer service was 11 out of 10. Food was amazing. Our guests also gave us positive feed back. Don’t look anywhere else, this is the place for your next function.
Anthony Garrett
Frontside Food and Wine is an exceptional venue. I booked the space for a social event for 75 students. Dealing with Ann Marie was a breeze and put my mind at ease that it would be a fab night for all. The food is delicious, and everyone still talks about how good the night was. I would highly recommend this venue and would book again.
