Moraine Chef: Cool place.

dave johnson: We pulled up to see the Scarab Club exhibits and immediately was confronted by a woman in the parking lot in a hostile manner. She asked if we were members, and she demanded to know why we were there. We answered we wanted to see the exhibit. She said "what exhibit"? We said the Scarab Club exhibits. Then she said there was a private event starting soon. She was not welcoming at all and wanted to make sure we left before the "important" people got there, not us rif raf. Her attitude was just awful. She identified herself as events manager, so we can only assume her name is Judy, by looking at the website. We won't be attending any of her events any time soon, if that's how she welcomes people to the Scarab Club.

P. M.: Dangerous steps rugs and unorganized. Just attended a wedding there. They didn't start setting up until guests were arriving. Ran around like they have never catered before. Do not use this place for an event. Rugs that tripped people dark stair cases. We had a guest fall from not being able to see the stairs. They had promised to light the stairs, but they also said they do this all the time! I would never recommend this for any event unless you are willing to accept inferior service and a dangerous building. Not impressed at all by this place.
