Went to lunch w fellow older members of our organization for lunch & meeting. We were seated elbow to elbow... not possible to socially distance. We all commented on how uncomfortable that made us feel.Then, during our meeting we were curtly told we needed to leave so they could clean up. You need to leave after eating....We had made reservations w the number of attendees & that it was lunch & a meeting.We wont do this again. Never had a bad experience here b-4. Times have changed.

I got completely filled up on a Homestyle lunch buffet. Todays meat Choice was roast pork and prime rib. It was already cut up in a pan of juice. The vegetable of the day was mashed potatoes and corn. The salad bar had a limited number of toppings. The dessert table had four choices. The service, decorations and ambience of the building was excellent.

This is a nice place for lunch. The Hostess House is very beautiful. The lunch wasnt as good as we hoped it would be. The soup wasnt fantastic, but the salad was. Its a good place to get a group together. It looks like the perfect place to have a baby or bridal shower. We will most likely go back.

Beautiful place. Pretty food. Service is lacking, and rude if you have dietary restrictions. Dont change anything or you will get angry faces. You will leave hungry and frustrated. Not kid friendly, dress to impress, go there to put on the Ritz.

I was invited to attend a special holiday dinner held at The Hostess House. Ed Breen, featured speaker, and a Sagamore of the Wabash, shared some of Charles Dickens personal reflections on Christmas. Madrigal Singers in period dress caroled during dining. Carolers and guests alike sang to two attendees celebrating their birthdays this special evening.The buffet featured foods that would likely have been served during Dickens time. I have never tasted such delicious carrots. Wassail, sweet and steaming, was served at the end of the meal. And, my oh my, the black coffee tasted good on this wintery night! The House is elegant, kept with love by dedicated women of Marion. I was given an impromptu tour of part of second floor, which also houses the gift shop, and features paintings by local artists as well as historical period portraits. What a memorable evening spent with my father and some of his friends at this beautiful Marion landmark.

This is an absolutely beautiful place with a lot to offer and some gorgeous rooms. The board running the place is full of passionate and dedicated people. I didnt eat here, but the food did smell amazing too.

They need better parking, When I presented a play there was not enough room and it was crowded. It’s alright, nothing to get excited over. Just an average place for fancy

I had to laugh at Brett Copes review. How are they going to get better parking? Its in the middle of a residential neighborhood! Theres plenty of street parking, and a nice-sized parking lot right across 4th Street.The food here is amazing and the service is always outstanding. I love coming here when I visit my family in Marion.
