Ive been to both many times. Westbury Manor is quality food..Crest Hollow is commercial food. You cant compare the 2.

Westbury will have 2 running at a time, but they're in pretty separate areas. They also have a restaraunt on site. The food is great - our tasting definitely sealed the deal!

I still need to post my formal review, but I want to reassure you that you will be very, very happy with the food and service at Westbury Manor. I come from a West Indian family with extremely picky eaters, especially my father and godmother, and they were super happy with the food...trust that I would have heard if they didn't like the food, lol. I was in the Manor Room and there was a wedding next door. I was panicking about this months leading up to the wedding. I did not hear anything from the other party in my reception room. WM staff does a pretty good job making sure you don't run into the bridal party and guests from other event. Good luck with whatever you decide and savor every moment of your big day!

So I must be in the minority but I was a guest at a wedding at Westbury manor last month and I thought the dinner food was pretty bad. The cocktail hour food was much better. I ordered the salmon at dinner and it was so over cooked it was uneatable. I was really happy that I ate more at the cocktail hour. The waiters were also a little rude and didn't really listen to what you said.

I had my engagement party at Westbury Manor, and I thought the food was fantastic. There was another event going on at the same time, but they stagger them so that it doesn't seem too hectic. My guests never saw another party unless they went out to the bathroom, which was great. But, when I arrived we went to take some pictures before anyone else arrive and we were walked right past another bride's cocktail hour. If I had been getting married, I would have felt it was awkward walking by in a wedding dress. But it was just my engagement party, so I don't think anyone else cared.

EDIT - I realized after that you really just wanted to know about the food, lol. THe food was amazing. My sister is an extremely picky eater and she raved about the cocktail hour and the chicken. (she won't eat beef or anything with white sauce, she usually just ends up getting chicken fingers if she doesn't think she'll like something.) When we were taking pictures, they brought us a sampling of everything at the cocktail hour so we could snack, since we didn't end up getting to eat anything at the cocktail hour at all we were so busy mingling. I ordered the shrimp for dinner, which I didn't particularly care for but everyone told me it was stellar. I don't know why I got it, because I don't usually like shrimp lol. I ended up swapping it with the hubby's filet mignon, which was amazing.
