I've been twice for brunch but my first time at the seafood buffet and the food was very fresh and delish. It was also super special because we were celebrating my friend's 50th birthday and she is a lover of crab legs and was not shy when it came to eating to her heart's content. Can't go wrong with a Terranea experience, always a first class ride !!!! Also, Jennifer was our server, she was very professional and super nice.
