Came here for Christmas Day buffet and all of the staff were in great moods and very helpful… despite working the holiday. We really appreciated having this option so that we didn’t have tot think about cooking dinner and could just spend time together as a family. Thank you so much for a great meal!

Be aware the restaurant adds a 20% service fee to your tab, which is NOT a gratuity for your server. Overall still a very good value with some tasty dishes. We would go back again.👍
