Great dining experience. The waiter and his associates took very good care of us. Everything was better than I expected from the drinks, apps, salads and steak. Loved the steak accompaniments. 10/10

Another home run by the Doubletree Columbo team. My family has been attending their three holiday buffets since they first began and each one gets better. So, this was their very best and we will be back for future holiday buffets. Pricing is reasonable for the food, service and experience. It begins with the event and chef management on site for the event and greeting you as you enter. A mimosa or Bloody Mary starts the meal followed by a seafood/cheese presentation with oysters on the half shell and large shrimp. Entrees include salmon, carved beef and other meats with an abundance of vegetables. Dessert choices are plentiful and they have flavorful coffee available if you ask. An attentive serving staff tops it all off. If you haven’t been before, make reservations for the next event on Thanksgiving. You won’t regret it.

Shrimp Scampi was excellent. We received more than great service from Tammy. Scollops, though good, were a disappointment next to the shrimp. The Brussel Sprouts, new to the menu, and vanilla cream cheesecake were both incredible. Overall a very good dining experiance.
