Disappointed in the buffet at the price. Food was cold. Had to wait a couple times for food to be restocked. Self serve coffee so no real ‘wait staff’ per se other than to bring your bill.

Terrible Christmas Day Experience – Total Ripoff! We booked a table for their advertised Christmas Day buffet, expecting a festive and enjoyable meal. What we got was a complete disaster. By the time we arrived, all the food was gone, and what they had left was a sad, basic continental breakfast—something you’d get for free at a budget hotel! To add insult to injury, they wanted to charge $35 per person for this pathetic spread. Outrageous doesn’t even begin to describe it. This was supposed to be a special holiday meal, and it was nothing but a disappointment. Poor planning, zero consideration for guests, and an absolute waste of money. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone, especially for events or special occasions. Save yourself the frustration and go somewhere else!

Disappointing Dinner – Not Worth the Price We decided to have dinner here on Christmas even, and honestly, it was nothing special. The food was average at best—not bad, but definitely not worth the price they’re charging. For what we paid, I expected something much better or at least memorable, but it was completely underwhelming. The real kicker was the drinks. I ordered a gin-based cocktail, and I can guarantee there was no gin in it. Either they forgot to add it or they’re cutting corners, but it was basically just flavored water. Absolutely not acceptable, especially at this price point. Overall, the experience felt overpriced and underdelivered. There are plenty of other places that offer better food and drinks for the same or even less money. I won’t be coming back.

It look about 20 minutes for two cocktails to be made and the restaurant was only half full. The food was lukewarm warm and the cocktails weren’t even worth the wait.

As always, The Prow never disappoints! The bison beef burger was delicious! The bison bolognese rotini was a huge portion and very tasty. The chocolate lava cake and the apple pie were scrumptious as well. Service was excellent.

Instead of saying they’re too busy to accommodate, which would have been fine, they seated me and then made sarcastic comments about how “quiet” they were and ignored my table until leaving without being seen.
