    Incredible food and service! Great for foodies who love layers of flavor, they do it best. Greatest atmosphere around! I will always come back here. Only thing weird to me is portions. Some plates are 2 bites and others are the size of 2 meals

    Awesome food & experience!! The drive menu is to die for!! The concept of an old church building from the 1800 is so mind blowing I can’t even imagine who thought of this!!!

    Didn't have vegetarian dish listed as part of buffet. Had over a 30 min wait when we had a reservation was sent around the corner to a bar to wait. Overpriced

    We attended the Christmas Dinner buffet and were let down. To start they were running 30 minutes behind, but didn’t notify us in advance. With most places closed for Christmas, and no place to wait inside, we were kinda stuck out in the cold for a while. It wasn’t the end of the world and not totally out of the norm for a busy reservation night, but it just didn’t set the right tone. Once we were sat they were already out of one of the menu items (shrimp cocktail). By the time we were ready for dessert they were out of all the macarons. The salmon was dry and lacking flavor, as was the risotto which apparently was a substitute for the ravioli that was advertised. I know it’s a buffet, but when you charge $80 per person, you expect higher quality food. You also expect to not have them run out of food. The restaurant might be great on the regular, but to spend that much money for a special Christmas dinner and be let down that much, I’m not sure we’d be back.

    Christmas night and they were very backed up. But getting seated 45 mins+ after your reservation is never OK. No apology, no free drink. I would not come back here again.

    We went for the Christmas buffet. It was just okay. There wasn’t anything spectacular on the menu and the food was good, but not great. For $80/person, I was expecting much more than what was served. It was extremely overpriced and the four of us all left disappointed.
