Finally made it this year to the Father's Day Buffet, and Doherty's lived up to their regular tasty menu and more. My family thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Full raw oyster bar, carving station, and everything you would expect on a country club style brunch buffet. Dessert stations were super pretty and delicious. Very smart idea someone came up with and executed nicely was ordering your custom omelet from the table on pre-made slips we filled out, so as to not clog the buffet area with folks standing in line. Wait staff friendly and attentive. Was a nice morning. I ate my $40 Worth for sure. See you next year.

Mother's Day dinner was terrific. I worked all day so I wanted casual, comfortable and delicious. That's what we got! Try the veggie rice bowl with grilled shrimp. Lovely!
