    Half the dishes were outstanding and the others just good. The chicken pot pie was delicious as were the stuffed dates. The Brie bread and enchiladas were fine. Appreciate the parking validation. Also appreciated the host offering to comp the appetizers when they were forgotten by the kitchen. Very good management. Room was quite loud but quieter by 1 pm.

    Perhaps my expectations were high but the service was extremely slow. I could only conclude they were short staffed. Good came out very slow. They didn’t have the fish of the day which happens, and also one side was out of stock. Food did taste great and fresh. Server was very nice but food just took too long to come out and we didn’t see our sever very often

    They offered brunch for 200 seating but didn’t tell us they stop bringing items out at 230. They ran out of multiple things and only offered a free dessert to make up for it. Buffet workers spoke very little English and were rude. Very disappointed for the price of the buffet.

    Our server was the absolute best. We went for a pre-show meal. When making our reservations, we didn't realize that the brunch buffet was our only option. Not being a fan of buffets (overly priced and too much food), I was disappointed that I couldn't order from the regular menu. That said, the food was delicious. My only complaint is that we were seated at 1:30 and buffet ended at 2pm. There were many items that weren't being refilled/stocked as the buffet seemed to be winding down.
