Ivan took great care of us!! It was our first time there and we were celebrating Mother’s day early! We had a great table, and he made sure we were happy after our food came out a bit cold. He also surprised us with a dessert! We had a great time!

First time there, very good food. Reasonable prices. I had the short rib with potatoes and it was incredible. Had a reservation, they sat us promptly but then left us for a good 15 minutes before anyone came to give us me us or water. Otherwise though, great experience and good food.

Staff this Sunday was lovely. Our waitress & the hostess were way more pleasant than others I’ve encountered at the Waterfront before. I chose the buffet because it used to be really versatile but understand they’ve scaled back after the fires and not getting as much traffic on the boardwalk at this time. I think the $40 AYCE could go down some of the omelette station & prime rib is no longer there
