    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.

    Very good Christmas Dinner experience. The staff was outstanding and worked together to make the night special. They had some challenges to overcome because they were handling a super large crowd but they did it very well. Thank you for an excellent meal and Merry Christmas !

    We attended on Christmas Day which was definitely a wise choice. They had an excellent buffet including everything from seafood, to chicken, to beef, various vegetables and miniature desserts. We felt the charcuterie section and the desserts should have been delivered to the table in an attempt to decrease the diner congestion. The desserts were tiny, possibly to keep patrons from lingering. Our main complaints were that the restaurant was too crowded for the space and the prime rib was too done. Overall we enjoyed our dinner out. Matt, our server, was very attentive despite how busy he was.

    Reservation at 2:30 on Christmas Day. We still had to wait to get a table. Set the six of us in a large table meant for 8-10. We we were too far apart to hold a conversation given the high noise level. Food was mediocre. Not even any bread with the buffet. It was like they took the cheapest buffet items they could make and charged a ridiculous price. Then ridiculously charged us what they call "a kitchen service fee" on top of the buffet charge. Money gouging restaurant with below average food. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!!!!!

    Food and servers were great. Quite pricey. There needs to be a better way of lining people up for the buffet…..they told you to go one way, then they told you to go another. Too many people were let in at once! We experienced 2 young kids about 12 from France and Belgium being pushed out of line by another customer…..control the crowd please so things like this don’t happen.

    The Christmas buffet was delicious and more than enough food! We enjoyed the prime rib and Brussel sprouts were our favorites. The gingerbread cake was scrumptious also! The line for the buffet was very long and snaked through the building, but we did arrive early to our reservation and arrived with a large crowd at opening. It was a wonderful Christmas lunch!

    Don’t EVER go when there is a buffet like today, Christmas! It was unorganized and chaotic…the line to the buffet had you going around people at their table having their food while peoples’ butts swiped by them (my apologies to those people). It took a good 45 minutes to return to our table with our food. As for our food offerings; one plate was difficult to fill with all the choices and without trays it was difficult to maneuver your plate and choose your dish. Some dishes were good like the ham and roast beef as well as “usual” dishes like salad, string beans, sweet potato,etc. but the desserts could probably have been my whole meal. We didn’t go back for a second round due to the long line again. Most of all….it was $85 per person, drinks not included!

    Nice Christmas buffet. Long line and desert table was in the way of the front of the buffet so people were a bit confused on the flow. Over all the food was fantastic but Mashed Potatoes and gravy was missing :(. No bread was served but the fried chicken was awesome!! We enjoyed our dinner.

    Our server was wonderful! He knew all about the decor and had great facts! They were also very accommodating. The smaller room got really cold, since people were leaving, so I asked if we can move to the big room, which had more people and was warmer. They looked into it and was able to grant the request. I was sad that the raviolis were sold out. We both had the lamb burgers. They were amazing! Would recommend!
