   My family and I had Thanksgiving buffet. All the food was great and the wide variety of desserts was great and the ones I enjoyed were delicious.

   We went for the Thanksgiving Buffet. It was delicious! Exceeded our expectations and I think it was even better than prior years that we've gone. The service was excellent. Very attentive but not in the way. We all commented on that, particularly my 93 year old father in law.

   This was our 2nd time dining at the restaurant, having attended in July for my birthday dinner. We were able to dine without a reservation, as we were seated about 4:30. (The restaurant opens at 4 pm). Because we were the only couple at the time, outside of a single gentleman who was present, we were catered to in a timely manner by our server, Janice, and the busboy throughout our meal. The food was hot, and our appetizers of truffle fries and deep fried avocado were hearty and delicious. My husband's NY steak was cooked perfectly, and so was my salmon and rissoto dish. The only nuisance were a couple of flies as we ate, but we dealt with it, as the server explained that management was working to keep that insect at bay, but it's that time of year with weather changes and being close by the ocean. Overall, it was a good experience again. We returned for the prime rib special on 10/23/24. That meal went well: the prime rib was cooked very well to our liking (medium rare), but the baked potato was not hot but warm enough to melt the butter and still tasty. Mixed veggies were also part of the meal and were cooked well. Because our reservation was for 7 pm, the restaurant was crowded, and the prime rib special is always offered on the day we dined, it was possible that they would have run out, but that wasn't the case here. Will visit this place again.

   Went for dinner while in town for a wedding. Service was mediocre at best. All the appetizers were undercooked. The deep fried stuff was near raw and not crispy at all. I order a steak. The quality of the steak was not that good. Over an inch of fat on the edges. Plating was sloppy, vegetables were swimming in oil and undercooked. Went back for breakfast the next morning. Over an hour to get our standard breakfast. Not good. If you are at the Casino it is convenient, don't set your expectations high and drink a lot and it will be fine.

   We set up a reservation for brunch at 11am for my mother’s birthday. Their website stated that brunch was from 7am to 2pm. We got to the restaurant and was told that brunch ended at 11am. They were also very short staffed. It took a very long time to get our food even though there were only a couple of tables. The food was not warm.

   Beautiful location, by far my favorite view, sadly the food quality has declined, and it is still understaffed

   Made a reservation using OpenTable for 6, with an extra 10-month old. They produced a nice, clean highchair for the little one instantly, and service was SO fast, courteous, professional, and pleasant. The wait staff person named Katie was brilliant. I ordered the salmon picatta -- wowza. Incredibly tasty and grilled perfectly, marvelous butter/lemon/caper sauce, and the baby asparagas grilled to die for. One of the best restaurants within 100 miles. Marvelous view from all tables of the valley down below and surrounding low mountains. Just a perfect restaurant.

   The environment was quite noisy, as the restaurant is basically an open space with no separation between guests. Service was good, although they overcooked my husband's steak. Therefore, he had to watch me eat until his plate was corrected. This was my birthday dinner, and the ice cream sundae was a nice surprise as a gift. We enjoyed the Creme Brule, and my salmon was PERFECTLY COOKED, and excellent to eat. Will be going back to the area in mid-October, so we plan to eat there again.

   Not much selection and omelette bar was missed. Not at all busy, but staff seemed frazzled. Would rather have been able have the choice of regular menu. One offering was not labeled turned out to be leftover prime rib. Waffles terrible! Something crunchy and overly sweet. Shrimp was good. After my singing the praises to friends, it was a major $140 disappointment. Wouldn't recommend buffet.

    This was a great experience! Excellent food and service and a good value. We really enjoyed our dinner here. We also had breakfast here the next day and had an equally good experience for that meal: great service, good food and good price! We recommend this place if you are in the area!
