    We went there for the Thanksgiving buffet with our daughter's family. The restaurant was full, but we were called to the table on time and we all enjoyed the extensive buffet, plus my husband and I have always enjoyed the ambience at the restaurant for dinner over the years. Service was excellent and thought it was a very good value for the money.

    Our first time at this restaurant. Felt very welcomed the moment we walked in. Our server Bryan gave us an amazing experience by showing us their menu and giving us recommendations and telling us his favorite dishes. Also being very interactive with us which we enjoyed. Food was amazing we started off with the Country Fried Texas Quill then BLT Wedge Salad for our main course the 58 oz Cowboy Ribeye with a side of Lobster Mac and Cheese. We will definitely be coming back.

    We loved the food we ordered and the service was really great. We've been to this restaurant a lot of times and so far we are happy with the service we are receiving from the employees. From the reception desk to the servers and the delicious food. Friendly service especially by Nicholas, our server last night.

    Our server was super attentive and patient with my multiple questions about wines and entrees. Food was delicious and for Cali, prices were reasonable. Lunch for two with (2) beers, a glass of wine and two entrees ran $75 before gratuity. On a Wednesday at 1:00pm, very quiet atmosphere inside.
