For a busy and crowded Christmas afternoon, both food and service were excellent! Though we had a reservation, there was some delay before we were seated but it didn’t detract from the overall pleasant experience.

Being Christmas Eve, they were very busy but we got seated quickly. Our waiter was a bit rushed w us but he did take care of business. Food was excellent and we knew they serve a-lot so my wife shared a meal and still took food home. Atmosphere was awesome.

The place was full and we didn’t get our table on time; as a result the “all you can eat” menu wasn’t really that, as it was one of the last times available; the service ended and kitchen was closed before we could really get satisfied. On the other hand, our waiter was exceptionally friendly and attentive.
