    Husband and I went for the Christmas lounge and had a nice time. Somewhat confused by the low rating as we found both the atmosphere and food very good. Will definitely return.

    The Christmas buffet was a bit disappointing. The overall buffet food was good, but the carving station items of prime rib and turkey were extremely disappointing in comparison to the normal quality of these items on a regular day. The prime rib was served cold and the turkey was dry and overcooked. The normal high quality was definitely not there. Not even the B Team.
