Dinner was ok - don't think we'll be rushing back. Cocktails were small and expensive but not particularly tasty. Food was mostly bland but serving size adequate. Clam chowder at salad bar was the worst we've ever had - mainly clam water with a couple random potatoes. Salmon was extremely bland and tasteless. Filet was cooked as requested but was fairly small for 8 oz. and came with 1/3 cup of rice. Salad bar was fine but cheese bread was a soggy mess. The highlight was the birthday kona pie they brought which was a nice touch and probably the best part of the evening.

This was our 55th anniversary dinner. It was fantastic. Beginning with our server, Diamond, and everything after. We enjoyed the food. My Prime Rib was huge and tasted heavenly. My wife's dinner Shrimp and Scallops was tasty as well. The surprise was they knew about our anniversary and we were presented with an ice cream dish to celebrate. We had not been here for sometime, but we will be back. In fact, this might become our annual anniversary spot. Thanks to Diamond and all the staff for a wonderful experience.

It was a fun evening. Our waitress was very attentive and gave excellent suggestions. My only con was the birthday sundae, it was a melted mess overflowing its tiny dish. A small plate under it would have allowed for it to men passed around.

Our waitress’ name was Jana. She was excellent. My wife was celebrating her 80th birthday and Jana brought a special treat for her. Love the view from the dining area. Wish it had been less hazy.

Steaks were very mediocre at $50 a plate. Although they do include soup and salad, which kind of makes up for it. But the view is beautiful in the service was very good, but I wouldn’t necessarily go there for the steaks.

Disappointed. Haven’t been here in awhile & we decided to try it again for a birthday celebration. We started off with some appetizers & after they arrived we asked for little plates & waited a good 10 minutes to get them. Salad bar was pretty good but dinners were very pricey & quality was poor. Prime Rib very tough, mashed potatoes room temp at best, Filet wasn’t too bad. If you wanted to exchange a baked potato for the mashed it would have been an $8.00 up charge! My son had ordered rice with his dinner & got mashed potatoes. Again waited for ever to receive them.
