    Food was great. Server was very nice, but it took 2.5 hours to eat dinner. Very, very slow service. Seems to be a theme in other reviews, but obviously isn’t a concern for them.

    Got away for Thanksgiving. While they offered a traditional Thanksgiving meal, we ordered lamb kebobs off the menu. If you're not starving, it's enough for two people. They were delicious!! Came with Greek salad and rice; onions and tomatoes on 2 skewers along with 3 very large pieces of lamb on each skewer. SO MUCH FUN with Greek music (people got up, clapped, danced a bit). Next time, we're sharing an appetizer and sharing a main. Complimentary "bite" of baklava after dinner. It is VERY noisy when the music is played (stringed instruments, drums, voices), but moderate noise otherwise. Very lively!!

    We enjoyed the Thanksgiving buffet at Sea Root. Last year we tried the buffet at a different hotel and were so disappointed. This experience was the complete opposite. Service was warm and friendly, the options were quality, and we were treated as valued customers. I would definitely splurge on the Thanksgiving buffet at Sea Root again and hope to enjoy regular dining there as well.
