   For $100 per person.. it was so overly priced for so little selection!! I’ve been to buffets for 1/2 the price with 3x what was served on the menu. Very disappointed and so embarrassing to have brought my family here for Christmas brunch. I see why there wasn’t much people dining! Never again!

   Cons: First staff member (male) to approach our table silently filled our water; no greeting, no invitation to make our way to the buffet. Buffet didn’t have eggs and bacon very undercooked. Coffee was self serve and ran out, making us wait for more to brew. Crab would run out and we’d have to keep checking the line for refill. Saw a guest cutting the prime rib for himself because no one there to serve. Pros: The rest of the staff were very friendly and helpful. Obviously understaffed and they were doing their best. Fun to speak with the pastry chef, who was encouraging guests to try the stolli, which was delicious. All the desserts and crab was very good. In spite of the shortcomings, we enjoyed our time there.

   Service was top notch. Wish they had more choices for the price. But overall I’ll still recommend. I’m a fan of the fish tank.

   I was very disappointed with both the food and service. Took my husband there for his birthday at 1130 for brunch they're was not much food and the quality was not that great either. Very few selections for $68 per person. There was only the hostess and one guy working who waited the tables and bussed tables and sliced the prime rib. The crab legs were small with not much meat on them and was always almost empty.

   We went for the Thanksgiving Day brunch. Food was delicious! I I especially like the fact that they serve the crab legs steamed. The seafood selection was fabulous. Sashimi was super fresh and so yummy as were all of the different poke dishes.

   Haven’t been here in a while. But still the best place for crab legs since they’re warmed! The Tako poke is some of the best I’ve ever had. Prime rib was also delicious. So tender and flavorful.

    My grandma took me, my mother, my sister, and her boyfriend there to celebrate our graduation. It was very nice. Most of the food ( excluding some of the pastries and the green tea ice cream) was good. The prime ribbon, shrimp, and watermelon was excellent.
