We had such a fantastic time at deSha's. The staff was incredible and helped us pull off the surprise for my parents so seamlessly. The food was also amazing as always! Thank you for hosting and helping us organize our event. We will be definitely be back again
We celebrated the remembrance of a wonderful and thoughtful woman's life yesterday at deSha's American Tavern in Montgomery, Ohio. The memorial was extremely well orchestrated and I would recommend this site for others wishing to honor a loved one's life giving service.
Thank you to Tina and the staff at deSha's American Tavern. The Polo Room and Patio were the perfect space for my daughter's baby shower. The staff were very friendly and accommodating and the food was very good. I would highly recommend deSha's!
This is a great venue. Yummy food and great service. Easy payment option. Highly recommend.
Deshaes is a great place for a graduation party, everything was taken care of from start to finish with excellent food and service.
Could not say more good things about this place! We've hosted two events at deSha's (Nicholson Room) and both have been flawless. Tina's communication is impeccable, and the wait staff was incredibly courteous and professional. All of our guests raved about what a wonderful time they had. Thank you, deSha's!
Hi Tina! Our 90th Birthday celebration for my mom last Saturday was perfect!! The food was awesome! All 53 guests raved about everything! The biggest hit was the hand breaded Atlantic haddock! Your staff and service were excellent. My compliments to the chef, you and the staff for a job well done!! We will definitely use deSha's again in the future. Thanks for all that you do!! Linda Thomas
We had our son and daughter-in-laws wedding rehearsal dinner here. Food and service was wonderful and allowed us to enjoy our guests.
Very pleased with our event. Food and service was great! Would definitely book an event again if needed.
We had a great event yesterday for 24 people in the Nicholson room. Annmarie, our server, was really great. Food was really good and the space was perfect for our presentation. We would definitely rent a space here for an event again in the future!
Beautiful venue (especially during holidays--festive decor). Delicious food and many options to choose from. Friendly staff. Highly Recommend.
We had a Murder Mystery dinner and event at deSha's. The food was very good. Matt and his partner server did an excellent job of keeping everyone happy. I will definitely use them again. The room set up was perfect. A big thank you to Tina, who was my contact at deSha's. Thank you all for making me look like a rock star.
deSha's is a great place to host a holiday luncheon for a group of 22 women. We reserved the polo lounge which offers a working fireplace and was well decorated for the holiday season. Our catering advisor, Tina, was very helpful on addressing questions on room set-up to offering an option for a member who has a food allergy. All terms and dates are clearly outlined in the contract and follow-up is very prompt. This is the second year for holding our luncheon here and we varied the menu selection. One suggestion would be to offer at least one more vegetarian option on the banquet menu for lunch. The food was tasty and hot. Service was professional and easy to work with as the event hostess. Cost of the event fit into our group's budget especially in the economy. Thank you for another pleasant year.
We had a rehearsal dinner at deSha's and the entire process was flawless. Tina was awesome to work with and made several changes for me during the process. Having a private room gave us privacy while enjoying the other amenities the restaurant had to offer. The food was delicious and we received many compliments on the restaurant from our guests. The servers were extremely attentive and accommodating. I cant say one negative thing about the entire process. I have used this restaurant in the past for other parties and deSha's never disappoints! I certainly recommend.
We had our 50th anniversary party on Saturday. The food was fantastic and the service was top notch.
We celebrated my mothers 100th birthday party at DeShas in Cincinnati. The event planner Tina Morris was great to work with and the event went perfectly. I highly recommend DeShas!
50th Wedding Anniversary. Tina Morris was our contact. Absolutely the best! Her site to explain what rooms, foods and drinks was clear. Tina was fantastic to work with, and our servers Kathleen and Matt were absolutely the best of the best. The whole staff at deShas worked as a team , making sure everything was perfect. Thanks to them it was! We are still getting messages from guest how impressed they were with the food, the room and staff!
Desha's hosted my retirement party in one of their event/private rooms. The experience was excellent. Tina did a great job with the coordination and set up and the servers did a top notch job keeping guests with drinks, appetizers, etc. We had 21 people ranging from an infant to retired friends; accommodations and food options were provided for all. The food was on-time and of high quality. Overall a great evening.
We had a lovely recpetion dinner, the food was great and the service was even better! Thank you deSha's for being a part of our speical day.
We held a luncheon for 60 recently at deSha's. The Buttermilk Fried Chicken, Red Skinned Mashed Potatoes and Country Style Green Beans were excellent and everyone agreed it was a great meal. The mini desserts were good, too.
From the beginning to the end, deSha's was professional, helpful, and provided excellent service. Tina handled the contract and details of my event. She was clear about the process, costs, provided helpful tips, and consistently communicated throughout the process. On the day of the event, the staff's service was top-notch! Seamless and great food!
Tina with event/catering was a breeze to work with!! Very helpful in planning our event (High School Dance Team banquet). She was super knowledgeable about what would suit our needs and was very receptive to questions and adjustments. The event went extremely smooth and everyone had great time!! The staff was very friendly. Two thumbs up! We will definitely use DeSha's again and will spread the word of their high quality service :-)
We had a coed baby shower in the Hearth Room and it was perfect. Tina was very helpful in helping us to plan our event. The food was delicious and affordable and the staff was very friendly and accommodating!
I had my daughter's baby shower in a private room at deSha's and it was perfect! The room was lovely. All the food was delicious. Service was excellent. Everything went smoothly and it was a memorable day for me, my daughter and all of our guests.
I have had two events at DeShea’s now and both were absolutely perfect! So easy to plan and our service for the events were professional, accurate and flexible! Our waitress was excellent!
We love DeSha’s! We have regulars group happy hours there. And recently had a birthday celebration. The food is delicious,the drinks are always spot on. And the staff is friendly,helpful and attentive
We had a birthday party for my twin boys and everything was FABULOUS! Such a great atmosphere and the staff was AMAZING!!!!!
Wedding shower in Nicholson room staff was awesome and everything was beautiful
From the reservation with Tina at Desha's to the event everyone was so helpful, the service was great, food was delicious and everything went great with no issues.
Glamour Girls - a group of women for a fellowship and religous gathering. The room was great the exact atomosphere I was looking for. The staff starting with Tina the event/Sales manager was the best. The hostess Kathleen was very accomodating. I will definitely use them again
Reunion was there. Great place and service was wonderful.
daSha's was the perfect place to hold a reception after my mother's burial at Gate of Heaven cemetery. Tina, the facility coordinator was helpful in providing options, ideas and in her timely responses. The luncheon food options and quality were very good. The private room was both reasonably priced and nicely set for us.
We had a well planned baby shower party with the help of Tina Morris. Michelle was responsible for our guest being looked after and she has done a superb job. Thank you.
Used deSha's for a funeral luncheon and it proved to be an excellent choice. Good location close to the cemetery and the interstate for those traveling. Planning the lunch was easy. Staff wonderful. Beautiful room. Most importantly the food was excellent! Many of our guests made positive comments about the food. The pot roast on our buffet was some of the best I've ever had. Would highly recommend!
Tina and the staff at Harper's Station De Sha's were wonderful and our family appreciated the care and service they gave us.
Tina created an affordable and custom dinner and drinks menu for our rehearsal dinner. I was pleased to see a custom alcohol menu for the alcohol that was included with the meal. This saved our guests from any confusion as to what was included. deSha's has a nice atmosphere with quiet and separated private rooms to accommodate larger parties. We selected a buffet and the food came out warm and was delicious as well. We are very happy that we went with deSha's for our rehearsal dinner.
A very enjoyable evening, the wait staff did a great job! They even adjusted to our rain delay. Everyone enjoyed their dinner. The anniversary cake was cut & served beautifully! A very friendly & considerate staff.
Hats off to Tina and the staff. Tina was great to deal with for planning and prep. The staff were friendly and efficient. Everything was perfect. Food was wonderful and environment was perfect. Will definitely use deSha's again.
The customer service was great! Everyone really enjoyed themselves! And the food was really good! I’ll definitely be back!
The service was excellent and I enjoyed deSha's venue very much!
I couldn't have been happier with the excellent service that we received from the wait staff. They were very efficient and went out of their way to make everything perfect for us. I would highly recommend having a party at deSha's!
Super easy to work with. Reasonable prices for a private room within a restaurant, food was good and services was efficient. Fees very also very reasonable compare to other venues. We had the Nicholson Room, we had 30 guests and a hot buffet menu.
Everyone in our party was very satisfied with the service, food, drinks, everything. It was a wonderful experience.
The room was decorated beautifully, the food was delicious and the service excellent. All our guests enjoyed themselves and loved the food. We needed another dessert tray and the staff was quick to get another one served. Everything was perfect, so I have no further recommendations.
Everything was excellent! I have been very pleased with the services from you guys for our past 3 events. I look forward to continue having more events in the future at deSha's.
Tina and the staff at deSha's has been so accommodating, fair, and professional every time we host our annual fundraiser there. Tina has been flexible to meet the needs of our small non-profit organization. Everyone loves the Grille, patio, and adjacent space. It is so classy yet comfortable. We were so lucky to have deSha's step up to help us one year when the venue we had booked fell through at the last minute. They never disappoint!
The Event Planner for deShas was courteous, upbeat and helpful in organizing a large family gathering. I appreciated the candid discussion of possibilities and limitations related to event space. I was very pleased with the hospitality, good food and friendly service to help mark a special occasion.
Thank you Tina , and staff for a great party. The room accommodated us all beautifully. I loved being able to shut the doors to keep the little guest in. Food was awesome and served on time and hot. Great venue!
My son’s rehearsal dinner was in the Nicholson room. It’s was great! I went in the morning and dropped off colorful bags for party favors and cards for each guests to fill out with marriage advice. And I took donuts to have for dessert. Well when I returned every place setting was set up already. So colorful and pretty with the champagne flutes already set. I set up a slideshow and it worked great. I couldn’t figure out the sound but that was my fault. The food was fabulous. The service was great. They served the donuts and gave us boxes to take them home. Everyone had a full glass of prosecco which was great. It was a cash bar. I think the staff were surprised at all of the alcohol being purchased LOL but they immediately brought in more servers to help and everything went very smooth. Tina was fabulous and I’m so glad that she didn’t get upset with my calls and questions. She was ok with my obsessive need of perfection lol. I highly recommend!
Perfect rehearsal dinner venue!!
a group of coworkers reserved a room to celebrate 2 associates who are getting married this weekend. Everything was seamless. The table was set, the beverages stayed full, the lunches were all delicious! we appreciate the professional and attentive service we received.
we enjoyed the atmosphere and the delicious food! Our hostesses were very attentive. We enjoyed our luncheon.
I have had several events over the years at Desha’s and always had the highest quality service from the most professional staff I know! The food is always awesome from Chef Thom!
Great service. Tina was excellent.
We went to deSha's on Montgomery for a semi-annual work party. The room was set up nicely and prepped well. Food was delicious and drinks were plentiful. Wonderful value! The entire event went off so smoothly and many of my employees commented the next day how wonderful everything was. Thank you to everyone at deSha's for your terrific hospitality!
I planned my wedding in Cincinnati while I was living in California , it was kind of last minute decision to do a reception. I found Desha's online and I could not have been so lucky! Some of my friends already knew the place and told me to go for it because it would be great. And it was beyond great. Tina took care of everything and was so patient about my choices and bad memory, the rooms are so beautiful and they also offered linens and candles. Food was amazing and Staff super friendly. Everything was perfect and all my guests loved it. If you are looking for a place to have a big group event, contact deShas`s and you wont regret.. They are amazing! thank you so much :)
The wait staff was very prompt and courteous. The food and drinks were good, but a little pricy.
This restaurant was perfect for my graduation dinner.. the room was nice and intimate and they accommodated my ovrerflow. The food came fast and was fresh and hot. The servers were kind and patient!!! This was my second time there, the first was for a wedding reception dinner. It was nice and smooth at that event too! The booking was easy and reasonable priced! We will be back!
This is the second baby shower that I have hosted at deSha's. As with the first time, everything was absolutely perfect. The staff was hospitable and ensured all of our needs were taken care of. Tina did a great job managing and coordinating all the logistics/planning details. Flawless execution, great food, great service! I highly recommend deSha's for hosting private parties!
We hosted a bridal shower with 41 guests and the setting was great. Tina was efficient from start to finish and made certain that the seating plan was comfortable for all. There were no hidden surprises and the bill was exactly as expected. A buffet was set up and a table was provided for desserts and two tables were set up for gifts. We ordered the sandwich luncheon buffet which included three different sandwiches, fruit, Saratoga chips and sauce and Mac n cheese. Everyone commented on how good the food was! However, part of the reason I’m giving this four stars instead of five was because the spring mix salad (which we added for $45) was hardly touched - frankly, it appeared to be leaves from a tree and did not appear appetizing. A positive was that all food not eaten was packaged up nicely for us to take home, though. The servers were very nice but several people mentioned getting their initial drink but no one came back in the 2+ hours we were there to refill. However the lack of refills for some guests and the salad were our only negatives In conclusion, I would recommend deSha’s for a luncheon event and look forward to booking in the future. Overall, a good experience with many positive comments from our guests.
Tina was amazing in helping us plan our ladies night out at DeShas! The appetizers were great, and the selection of beverages we were able to offer with our drink tickets was great. The room set up was perfect, we had 2 wait staff assigned to our room of 30 women, and they provided excellent service!
Tina Morris of deSha's was so easy and pleasant to work with, and deSha's staff gave our 45 person event a terrific experience. The room was well appointed, and the servers were friendly and fun. The food was delicious and well received. deSha's is my go-to restaurant for several functions during the year. I highly recommend it.
The team at deSha's was amazing. They were incredibly attentive from identifying the best room possible given our group size to hosting us on the day of. I would highly recommend hosting your next cooperate event here!
I recently hosted a baby shower in the Rookwood room at DeSha's. We had a great time and the staff at DeSha's was very accommodating. They helped carry in decorations and dessert from my car, held doors, offered to help put up decorations, brought us scissors and tape when we realized we forgot it, and were generally very attentive. We were allowed to order off the menu individually which made it much easier to host. The rental cost was very reasonable as well, not to mention the food is great. Would definitely host an event there again!
The service from the first phone call through the end of our event was excellent! Tina explained the process to make it easy and painless. She was excellent in her response times. The waiting staff was great! Kind, courteous, non-intrusive, and forward thinking. I would strongly recommend deSha's for a quiet, private meeting.
I would highly recommend DeSha's for any event. We have held wedding receptions, Easter dinners and private birthday parties at DeSha's and have always had terrific service and the food is always outstanding, I would highly recommend for anyone planning a small party, Tina does a great job coordinating everything as well.
We had a successful luncheon. Service was great. Everyone had a fun time.
We had a Celebration of Life luncheon. Tables were set and ready upon arrival, food was ready, warm and delicious. Service was great. I would definitely plan another event in the future.
So very happy we chose DeSha’s for my parents 50th anniversary get together. The room that they provided us was the perfect size and was nicely set up in advance of our arrival. The waiting staff was timely, efficient, and kind. Our meals were brought out to us timely and was all delicious. Really nice that they allowed us to bring a cake in from outside. Hats off to all of them!
We reserved the Polo Bar space for a cocktail hour to wrap up a day-long team meeting. The space was perfect for our group of about 25. The food was fresh, hot, replenished regularly and most important, delish! Our server was fantastic and thought of everything. Highly recommend!
DeSha's went above and beyond our expectations. Everyone who attended our rehearsal dinner raved about the food and atmosphere. We will be recommending DeSha's to anyone looking for a nice dinner or to host an event.
We booked a Celebration of Life luncheon and with the wonderful help of Tina the luncheon was a very stress less enjoyable lunch, enjoyed by all thirty people.
This was the perfect venue for our workshop. The food was amazing. Everyone raved about their experience. The service was amazing and the resturant was accomadating to our every need. We will most certainly be back.
We celebrated our wedding brunch rehearsal here. We had a quaint little room that overlooked the pond. The staff was wonderful and the food was perfect!!! We had a personal issue with our slide show playing and the staff there helped us to work it out!!! They went above and beyond!!! I would highly recommend this venue!!!
Wonderful venue! Service was great and very attentive. I received many complements.
Private room was excellent for dinner meeting use. The food and service was extraordinary. The cost was very reasonable. Highly recommended.
Everything was prefect, thank you for getting us in on such short notice. Staff was great, food was great, we look forward to coming back!
Many thanks to Tina and her staff for accommodating our party of 20 on very short notice. Family was in town for a funeral service and lunch arrangements were not made or thought of until the morning of. Tina quickly accommodated our group and set us up in their Private Room. Everything was wonderful!
The staff is great here and makes you feel very welcomed. The environment is a great place for business type meetings/dinners. We come back every year for our Happy Hour and are never disappointed!
The event we held in the Polo Bar was excellent! The staff were super accommodating and the food was on time and terrific. I highly recommend for larger parties. Thank You deSha's!
This was the PERFECT space, atmosphere, food arrangement, food quality and service to have a luncheon following the funeral and intermittent services of a loved one. It was a relief not to worry about any of these details and Desha's staff was very accommodating when we had to add to our attendance last minute. Highly recommend.
Our entire party (46 people) were very delighted with the entire event held at de'Sha's. We had a very nice and private setting which allowed us to mix and mingle during our stay. The responsiveness of the staff was phenomenal! They literally had each glass full and cleared the tables as soon as we finished. The food was delicious from the spread of appetizers to the well proportioned buffet and the amazing dessert trays - well done! Something that everyone commented on is how perfect it was to serve the children their chicken tender meals first so that the adults could walk through the buffet. It was so well coordinated! Thank you so much to Tina Morris for her support and advice throughout the entire process! She is best in class when it comes to party planning! We appreciate how awesome everything was and will always have this as a special memory for years to come! All the best! Amber Geyer
Space was perfect and food was excellent. Tina was great at assisting in planning especially as I am from out of state.
We couldn't be happier with Desha's. This was our family's 3rd time having a family event at this facility and it was just as great as the other 2 times. The event planner, Tina, was very easy to work with. I had a lot of questions and concerns which were handled very well. One concern was the timing of the food (we had a few that had to leave early). They definitely exceeded my expectations with this. We were allowed to come in 15 minutes before they opened and they had the food delivered to our table sooner than was stated. When we arrived, everything looked awesome. I believe everyone in my party loved the taste of their food (I know I did), the waiter that served us was attentive and efficient. I can't think of one thing that was deficient. Our previous party was my parent's 50th wedding anniversary. My dad enjoyed it so much, he is the one that suggested having my mom's 90th birthday party at Desha's.
Perfect setup, great communication, food was delicious, server was excellent.
It was the perfect size room, the service was phenomenal and the food was superb!
I had a Celebration of Life lunch at DeSha’s after my aunt’s funeral for close family and friends. Considering the sad occasion it was perfect. Held in a small private room kept in cozy and intimate. The food was excellent and service outstanding. Would highly recommend!
Matt and Ann Marie were fantastic to us. My wife who was recovering from hospitalization was treated with exceptional kindness by Ann Marie.
The Rookwood Room was perfect for our cozy family gift exchange. Everyone at DaSha's was welcoming and the server for our party was so attentive, yet not in the way of our good time. We had a wonderful time and I highly recommend DaSha's for any get-together. The food was good too!
They did a very good job at a celebration of life event. We were about an hour early and they adjusted on the fly and everything worked out very well. Tina was good to work with and her follow up was prompt and thorough.
Our group of ten met in the Rookwood Room at Desha’s for lunch. The variety of menu choices, the warm and private room, and the excellent service were only exceeded by the extraordinary food. The staff were hospitable and efficient. The entire experience exceeded my expectations!
The Nicholson Room was the perfect space for my daughter's baby shower. Beautiful room with a great view of a pond. From the organizer, Tina, to the servers, Kathleen & Jake, the service and the food was excellent. They went above & beyond to make sure I didn't have to do anything except enjoy our celebration! We will be back for future events!
