    Impressive buffet (tuscan table). I like the nice selection of desserts. And they have an impressive selection of drinks. Please note that if you're there on a weekday that the fresh squeezed juice could have been squeezed quite a number of days ago, so it could be spoiled by the time you have it. But, it is wonderful that they have any such option. They don't squeeze it at the restaurant, but I think they said it is done on Mohegan grounds) and then labeled as "fresh squeezed", which if it weren't spoiled I think it would be a significantly higher quality orange juice than you get it most places. I recommend either going on a weekend or going on Monday or possibly a Tuesday if you are into fresh squeezed juice. I think the server could have been more attentive, checking how our food was, Etc, but she was friendly when she was there. The food was a good variety in the quality was good overall. My only complaint was a couple of the meats were too salty. I'm talking about more salty than the average restaurant, probably excluding many fast food joints, though even fast food joints balance their salt with other unhealthy things. And, note with Meats if you get an exterior piece, it could be saltier than the rest. But otherwise I did think it was a nice Buffet. $35 per adult and there's a 10% military discount. That's a reasonable enough military discount, though 15% would have certainly gone the extra mile for those who have served our country, as my father had and was present for our meal. But, there are many places that don't give any military discount, so I compliment them on that.

    Food and wait staff are great, but the noise level is distracting. It would also be appreciated if specific seating requests be honored, especially when the restaurant is slow and basically empty. Basically sitting in the band's lap is not conducive to having a nice dinner conversation!
