    Came here for Thanksgiving dinner at 5:30pm. By the time we were seated there was no more turkey or meat, sides were sometimes changed, and we got drinks maybe after 20 minutes. I understand they were busy but having no food left for the last couple of people they had for reservations and charging them the full buffet price is outrageous. Will not come back here.

    This was a Thanksgiving Buffet dinner. They had lots of traditional entrees and dishes available. There were a lot of healthy items, it wasn't all comfort food. We were able to eat good and it was delicious. Good job on the food offers. No eater's remorse today. Thanks.

    It was the Thanksgiving buffet and the food was average. So not worth the price of $90 per person. Our waitress was great though! Not too impressed with their uniforms now. The skirts are super short and the shirts and form fitting. I miss the old vibe.

    Per our request we were seated in the Fireplace room. It's our favorite room. We received terrific service and good food.

    Would have preferred a more quiet intimate atmosphere but didn’t effect the meal in anyway.

    I hate to let the cat out of the bag, but….you would pass this place by from the looks of the outside but when you open the door, it’s “old school” elegant. The bar is gorgeous and the rooms off the central aisle are warm and inviting. Service was spot on and the food backed up the inside looks of the place. Classy steakhouse!

    Visited this restaurant for the first time and had a great experience. The prime rib was juicy, and the baked potato was cooked perfectly.
