   Food was cold. Buffet was half empty and had no plates. Service was inattentive. Maybe it was just a bad day for the restaurant?

   Hi Kristi Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. I am truly sorry to hear that your recent visit did not meet the high standards we strive to provide. It’s disappointing to learn that your service was inattentive, and I sincerely apologize for the lapses you experienced, especially with your drinks and the issues with the cinnamon buns. That is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide. Additionally, I am sorry to hear that the food quality and availability of plates were not up to par during your visit. We work hard to ensure that our buffet is well-stocked and that all of our guests are served fresh, hot meals, and I regret that we did not meet those expectations during your time with us. I appreciate your continued support of our restaurant for previous birthday gatherings, and I understand your frustration. Please know that we will address these concerns with our team to make sure that we improve both service and food quality moving forward. We would love another opportunity to provide you with the experience you’ve come to expect from us. If you ever decide to visit again, please feel free to reach out to me directly, and I will personally ensure that your next experience is a much better one. Thank you again for your feedback.

   Food and drinks were good, large portions. The restaurant itself was run down. Ripped seating. No toilet paper in the bathrooms. We asked for some and were ignored

   Food choices and quality both very good. Prices reasonable. We were there at non busy time, but server not very attentive. Luckily our needs were not many.

   As usual, the food was great. This time, the service was acceptable, but not as good as always.

   The Brussel sprouts were very good. The BLT was pretty much all B, little L and T. It had a sweetness to it that was unexpected, probably the aioli. We visited on a Sunday and they were out of a couple of beers. They looked a bit under staffed on the floor but did pretty good keeping up with the customers.

   First time at this restaurant so we walked in at exactly 5pm and was told by the hostess that the first available seating would be at 7pm at which point we decided to start looking for other options. While on the parking lot we decided to look at the restaurants profile and it showed available reservations for 5:15 which we booked and headed back inside to see the hostess and got seated right away. Not sure why we were told that the first available seating would be 2 hours after we arrived since the restaurant was about a third full and the whole time we were there people kept being seated. Food was decent and we were served fairly quick. The best part of our experience was the server as she was very personable and checked up on us just the right amount. She was surprised to hear about our experience with the hostess and didn’t know why they would turn us away with how little amount of people were there.

   Calculate the ‘specials’ individually before getting it. If cost is less, they will upcharge the difference under a bogus line item so you actually pay more for the meal than if you just bought them individually. So yes I totally got scammed. Otherwise food was ok. Crispy Brussel Sprouts decent but not as good as competitor version. Chicken tortilla soup was pretty tasty but was not very warm. Millionaire burger also good but boat loads of grease. Friday drink special was at least great and a good deal. Though waiter was nice, he slammed things on our table every time.

   Food was very good. The amount of food was too much. The salad was very large for a salad before the main course. With the appetizer and salad could not finish the main course and still be able to eat the desert. Left very full the rest of the evening. Overall the valentine dinner special for $69 was a great deal - don’t get that very often at restaurants.

    Wanted a place to grab a decent meal before heading out for the rest of our Valentine's Day evening. They had a dinner for 2 deal that included appetizer, soup or salad, entree and dessert for 69.00. We had the shrimp app, an amazing cheese soup, both had the sirloin (cooked to perfection!!) that came with garlic potatoes and fantastic green beans almondine. Truly it was as good of a meal as we usually expect from an 'upscale' restaurant. Our server was on point as well! Dessert was an over the top bread pudding AND a type of chocolate lava cake that was filled with chocolate mousse. Everything was perfection - except to find out that the desserts are not on the regular menu haha! Would definitely be getting those next time we come back.
