   I love a good buffet, but this one left a lot to be desired. The first few plates I picked up were dirty. The selection of savory items was very limited, and the hot items looked & tasted as if they had been warmed far too long. The carved prime rib and dessert assortment were the only thing that kept my rating above one star. We won't go back again.

   The main dining room is very pleasant. For Mother’s Day we were in a separate room. It was noisy and the music was too loud. It was very hard to talk. However, the food and service were excellent.

   We booked the party of 6 for Mothers Day. Unfortunately, they only offered a Brunch Buffett. The food was fair at best. We word seated in a Hotel Conference rather than the actual restaurant. To top it off, the cost for the party of 6 plus tip was $382. Very disappoiting.

   Far too expensive. Mother's day buffet was $50/person, no drinks included. I expect prices to be inflated for an event like this, but this was too high for food that was fine. But then seeing the coffees and juices on the final bill was just ticky tacky. Charge for booze, sure, but black coffee on top of $50 for an ok buffet? It just makes me not want to go here anymore.

   When I made reservations a week prior, there was no mention of a Mother's Day Buffet. I choose it because the menu looked good. When we arrived, we were told where the buffet was located. We waited for our server but, they never came. We went to the buffet and the plates that were there, were dirty. The food was low and hadn't been replenished. We sat down and still no server. My daughter finally had to wave someone down to get water. We finally got someone to check on us but by that time, I was ready to leave. I asked for the check and low and behold, $99.90. I nearly lost my cool. Due to it being Mother's Day and spending that time with my daughter, I kept it calm and collected. To the restaurant management, there's no way in hell your food and service was worth a $100. I will never recommend your establishment and don't worry, I won't be coming back.

   Quick and helpful service, plus very good food and coffee made this a great spot for an early Mother’s Day brunch.

   Service was excellent given her workload. They need to increase the wait staff. The Romaine salad and braised short rib were very good. Crowded and very noisy.

    Great atmosphere! Staff is terrific. Ask for Shelly - best waitperson we have ever come across! Food is always consistently very good. A favorite of ours.
