Have been going for a few years now, this year they raised the price and made us pay for mimosas. Food selections seemed smaller this year as well.

We could only get a thanksgiving buffet reservation for 6:30, we were seated in a timely manner. When we went up to the buffet, it seemed like they were already finished serving, all the chafing dishes were 1/2 or less full, mashed potatoes were dry and hard (had been there a while!) no stuffing! Turkey scraps as best I can describe it, the carving station had no turkey! Dessert bar had desserts condensed, one plate had cheese cake, pumpkin pie and some other pie (maybe pecan) pie like they were ready to put it, or throw it away. Waitress was nowhere to be found when we wanted coffee to go with our “dessert” if you want to eat here (I will not) go early or you’re getting scraps, ruined our holiday.

We went for their Thanksgiving buffet - which was absolutely excellent! Every morsel perfectly done! Plenty of fabulous choices for both dinner and dessert. Staff was very attentive and professional...was great teamwork start to finish. Would recommend anytime. Price was average for a nicer restaurant right on the water.
