A great experience, we were a little early but they were more than happy to sit us at a prime sunset viewing table. David, our waiter, was great and gave some awesome recommendations and went above and beyond whenever he could. We could not have asked for a better meal

Our waiter was great. I was thinking of ordering sangria but decided on something else. He brought me a sample of the sangria with my order. It was delish I had the ravioli with seafood. It had loads of lobster and shrimp. My hubs had short ribs. Tender and flavorful Great Christmas Eve dinner

Took our family to Conners for a lovely holiday party. Everyone had a great time, the service was wonderful, and the food was exceptional. Our group ordered the Chilean sea bass, filet, salmon, chicken, and everyone raved about their selections. The Christmas trees and decor set a special ambiance. As always, Conners lived up to our highest expectations.

Much to our dismay a reservation for an advertised buffet with carving stations /extensive salad bar /appetizers/sides/ desserts became an omelette bar with breakfast sides -which though good , was not what we expected ! apparently the advertised Xmas Buffet was from two years ago and we barely made the cut for the breakfast buffet ! our reservation was for 11 AM and the breakfast Buffet stopped serving at 11 AM. We were seated since we showed our confirmed reservation! Staff was confused n it took a bit to sort it all out. Never have had trouble with open table reservation before but this was a mess!!!
