The Seafood Extravaganza was highly disappointing. Overly steamed crab to the point it was tough to eat and stations that sat empty most of the time we were there. At the carving station, they had the audacity to carve my husband a chunk of fat with very little actual meat (had this person ever actually carved meat before?). It was like they just could not keep up with the volume of guests. We were so excited for this, and left terribly disappointed

Katie, the Assistant Manager, saved our night. While this restaurant definitely needs a new executive chef (the current one is much too comfortable in their role), this one assistant manager made our experience exceptional. Kudos to her.

Great food. Buffet good but expensive. I had avacado toast. Plentiful with lots of avacado but the bread is was on was difficult to cut. Very tough. And too full and messy to hold in my hands. Delicious avacado.

A few buffet items were good. But not all. I would recommend adding rice, beans, Mexican items and Asian items too. Service was very good.

The food was trouble. It was dry and flavorless. Service was good and drinks were very strong. The table next to us was very loud and we were in and out in 20 minutes due to the food and loudness. Might be good for a family but if you’re looking for a quiet romantic dinner this isn’t it.

The food was awful. It was like airplane food. It was a set menu and not only overpriced, but just gross.
