    I was nervous after reading negative reviews, but our seafood buffet was to die for! The crab legs were large, they started everyone who wanted some with 5 clusters, my husband had to help me finish them. The carved beef was perfect for me, and the server trimmed the pieces well before she served them. Servers were all attentive, asking about refill or quality of food, just about every time the passed table(no they weren't hovering.) The hot foods were hot, the cold foods were very chilled. Peel and eat shrimp were done well. Tasty, and cold. The only negative I could say was the CA carrots were not tender enough for me, but I did finish them. Yes, it is pricey but well worth it for a special meal. I will definitely be back!
