    Overall the place is spectacular! Absolutely scenic outside and elegant inside . The service was excellent! The food was very very good. I was very pleased with all the labeled gluten-free options. . Family friendly. We will definitely book this again for a holiday or special event ! At first, when we saw the line was waiting outside to be seated, we were slightly concerned in the chili air. But it moved very quickly, and was well worth the line.

    This was for an Easter buffet. Trips up to buffet line had 2 bins empty (salmon and the pancakes), prime rib slices we very, very thin, salad was a spinach salad ..would have preferred buffet salad or a spring mix salad, there was no crepe table or antipasto on table like past years and dessert table was not many nice desserts..more donuts, puddings, cookies and candy. Service was excellent for drinks and additional items for table. We were at a table of 10 people and service was excellent and the setting and decorations were very pretty. We thought the price at $52, although it did include tips, was a little high for this buffet menu.

    Love the ambience. For the size of the place you expect it to be a little noisy but it was not bad. Our food was good but it was not very warm by the time we got to our seats. We were a little disappointed that they did away with the shrimp! The employees are all fantastic. Not having to cook or clean up was definitely worth it to us.
