Eden, New York

I have been to Eden when it was Jade Terrace and I wish it were still Jade Terrace. It even looked better when it was Jade Terrace though it does still look nice. To start off the list of complaints, I called this place in advance to ask a bunch of questions to make sure I was choosing the right place for my birthday and none of the answers I received were true. I specifically asked about the music and was told that they play all types of music and all we heard all night was house music. We complained and were told it would change later. It was almost midnight and the music never changed and me and my guests were there at 6pm. The manager told us he couldn't change the music because the dj was playing a cd and the tracks couldn't be skipped but what dj plays one cd of the same music over and over again and not be able to change the songs. They never told us we couldn't get into the inside area until 10 pm, where it was cool, so we were sweating on the terrace till 10. I specifically asked if I could create a guests list for after work and evening hours and was told that all my guests would be accomodated but my guests who showed up after 10 were turned away at the door. The manager finally offered us a free round of drinks, which was nice, but we were so dissappointed that we ended up leaving instead. If another event was being thrown on the same day, which is what happened and why we were stuck listening to house music all day, we should have been contacted and told that they were going to be cattered to and we weren't. If Eden would have held up to their word, it would have been a nice place and I would have enjoyed my birthday but since they didn't, my night started off very bad. I would not recommend anyone celebrating their birthday here. It's nice if you want a quiet drink after work with some friends but otherwise I will not be back. The happy hour drinks were the only positive thing I can say about Eden. Where else can you get $6 Mojitos.
