Chaz Josef was a great experience, the food was terrific especially the salmon. I would highly recommend this place for a wedding or sweet 16. In addition to the staff being helpful and the great communication their end, they show terrific customer service the following day when I went to go pick up the items the next day a gentleman stop what he was doing to stay in the area I was packing up.

Excellent banquet facility! Very modern and tastefully decorated with ample seating and parking. The Staff was very friendly and attentive to the needs of the guests. The food was amazing and the entire facility was very clean. I would highly recommend having a Wedding reception here, you won't be disappointed.

I had Mother's Day brunch with my son and his family yesterday and it was amazing. The food was delicious and so abundant that you could not possibly try everything. Great and attentive wait staff. They gave special attention to the children and were very helpful. I would definitely go again! Grandma Manley

I attended a 50th birthday party here. This place was wonderful. The staff was attentive. The waiters and waitresses were awesome. It was a pleasant atmosphere. They even made the children feel a part of the festivities. I truly suggest this place for any of your party, celebration, needs. We had a wonderful time. And that staircase was awesome! What a wonderful way for the birthday girl to enter the room.

Chez Josef was a nice cozy venue for a prom that I chaperoned for recently. Staff seemed super attentive and our event was run very efficiently and smoothly. What I really appreciated was one of the staff members running our event held a strong line of communication with the class advisors and administration throughout the entire night. Everyone at Chez Josef was super friendly, accommodating and respectful.
The downside to this event was definitely our meal. The food was interesting. Students chose parmesan crusted chicken but it tasted very sweet almost like there was applesauce on it. It was really strange. I also had some oven roasted potato wedges but those were very undercooked- hard as a rock and nearly impossible to cut through. I was not very fond of the food but I figured that was to be expected at an event like this. However, the parfaits were decent. Overall, students seemed to enjoy their time at Chez Josef and so did the chaperones.

This is a mix of both the catering & the food itself. On Jan. 22 I walked over to do the "Chefs for Jimmy" over there & did quite a bit of restaurant samples & also had a sample of the places' own stuff they do. When they do events like proms, conventions & such they do a bit to make sure they hit the marks. In my case for their little thing I'll post that with a group I know for my own reasons but if you ever need like a wedding or prom or other thing & want it near the CT/MA line here you go.

This place is OK. They really need to do some renovations to make it a little more modern. You walk in and it smells like "your grandmother's house, " as one of my friends stated. I came here for a company gathering and they had appetizers out by the entrance, there was a huge selection of cheese, fruit, veggies and dip. The selection was pretty decent.
You had to purchase tickets at a podium and then use those tickets at the bar, which I found rather strange. They also had curtains up, separating us from the seating area. Also a little strange, then all at once, they opened the curtains and we were herded in, not sure if it was a ploy to get us to eat more apps or buy more drink. The food was okay, the service okay. It was an okay time.

Having my sweet 16 party here! in love with the place! I received a rose for being "a valued customer" they really know how to make you feel special here. it's such an amazing feeling. beautiful rooms, spacious and soothing, Beautiful lighting. perfect place for any special occasion. They will actually go out of their way to make sure their customers are 100% satisfied, highly recommended.

From a perspective of a person who had their bar mitzvah their.5 stars is great. From the excellent services to the food, chez Josef continues to impress me. When we forgot our projector they lended theirs to us. My friends and I had a great time and were impressed probably more than I was. You won't regret having your party, etc. here it's worth the commitment, time, and money.
The owner, Mark, is a very nice man. Moreover, the managers, such as Anthony were also very nice and helped with all my needs. Hope you use them and 5 stars isn't an underrating.

I attended a luncheon/show event sponsored by Friendship Tours. The promised coffee/tea upon arrival was non-existent. The dining room was not ready for us - the vase of flowers for the table was placed after we had been seated for a while. Repeated requests for coffee and a pitcher of water for the table were ignored. The "all-you-can-eat lobster" allowed 1 before they ran out; the lines formed; and the wait began.
Half lobsters were the result until the kitchen began to produce more as dessert was being served. We did finally get our coffee.so very bitter - not too strong.just bitter. There was no air-conditioning in the dining hall that we could feel. Can't imagine how the servers -who were so polite and pleasant - were able to do the job they did. Friendship Tours offered a free glass of wine to help make up for the unfortunate lobster snafoo.
Thank you Friendship Tours; but this wasn't your fault. We were told that this was a first of its kind event at Chez Joseph.that they had to work the "bugs" out. OK.maybe so. but, not on our $$$.

I, and several organizations that I am a part of have been a patron of Chez Josef for years now. I must say that I am utterly disgusted and disappointed about the treatment that we received when planning our ten year reunion this past weekend. Chez Josef was uncommunicative in the weeks prior to our event, and when they finally did res.pond to our inquiries, they over charged us by $500 and 20 people and threatened to cancel our event the day before!
I will never again patronize this business, and will be telling Central High School staff to do the same. This is very disheartening as we held a 50k event there in the past. This time, we were treated like our dollar was worth less than their's. I will be writing a more extensive but similar review on yelp.com, The Republican, andsending an official complaint to Chez Josef Management. BTW: We worked with Mark. I'd advise otherwise. Official Rating: ZERO STARS! Take your money elsewhere, or be cheated.
