We were there for the Christmas buffet. The food was marvelous and plentiful: prime rib, salmon, pork loin, ribs, bbq chicken, assorted salads and sides, and desserts. The service was fine and the price was great. We'd like to go for a regular dining experience in addition to the holiday buffets as we also went to the Thanksgiving buffet.

Apres Village is a fun experience. The lights and decorations create a festive atmosphere, and the outdoor fireplace and space heaters keep you cozy when the sun goes down. I loved the idea of sharing dishes for the table and enjoyed the overall simplicity of choosing the food. We were a party of 4 and we tried everything we could. It was all delicious. Service was attentive and professional. We had a blast!
